Yes you can! But any jeering or loud noises will get you kicked out. Please be respectful of the other Creators around you, as well as the Judges seated two rows ahead (There will be buffer rows of ALA Volunteers between the Blue Ticket Seating section and the Judges Table)

Drama
Running Desperado by Dean Seirafi
If everyone Cared no one would cry by Lindsay Maire Young
The Love of a Hero by Matthew Lewis
You're not Alone by Katherine Cullen
Princess of the Red Rose by Lark Isenberg
Over and Over by Tiffany Chase
Naruto's Hope by Mike Hernandez

Are you sure you didn't mistake that for my other entry? Because it does not belong in drama, at least that's what I put in my entry form..

Mind if I get a response about this Mikal? I'd rather drop from the contest if I'm not even going to be categorized correctly based on what was requested in my entry.

[MikalSaltveit]

Its 6 minutes long and maybe 1 minute of action. The rest was emotional set pieces setting up the rise and fall of Spike. If you are unhappy you can drop but send me an e-mail about it.

Running Desperado didn't quite meet the quota of punched faces required to make it into Action. All joking aside, this is precisely the problem with running a contest with fixed categories. We have several videos in Comedy that also don't quite fit, not funny but very silly, and so what happens to them? I could create a category for each possible video type, and I think the kindof western struggling to survive vibe your video has really fits in its own category. But that wouldn't make much of a contest.

I wish these decisions were easier, more cut and dried, but life dosn't work that way.

My main issue wasn't on the case if it fit in the category or not but the fact that my other entry wasn't suggested as that was a drama video and you decided to throw in my action video into drama instead. I'm assuming my other entry wasn't considered and that's why you decided to use my action video as a superior entry. Didn't think my drama video was too bad aside from minor technical flaws but I never thought it would be over-placed by my action video in categorization.

I'll stay in just to avoid Rider hating on me lol.

you're learning.

if it makes you feel any better ryv, when i vote i chose which video i liked the best out of the category, not the video i think best represents the category. cuz mikal's right, for example sometimes upbeat videos only have the comedy category to fit into :\ i remember AX2005 i voted for Wakalaka for Osaka in comedy over Bride of Berserk, Wizard of Ozaka, AND Still Preoccupied With 1985. didn't win but i still stand by my principles.
