Description:
So what is a Fanvid?:
Fanvid's are fan made music videos created by combining Cut and Spliced
footage from your favorite, Live Action or Animated - Movies, TV
Series, OAV's, or Video Games and setting them to your favorite Music.
How can
I
make a Fanvid?: This
can be done with PC or Macintosh based video editing software such as
Windows Movie Maker, Adobe Premier, Quicktime, etc. or it can be done
the old school way by using a combination of VCR's, DVD
Players/Recorders, CD Players and/or Video Game Systems connected
together.
What is
the
goal of creating a Fanvid?:
The goal is to create an entertaining combination of Video and Music.
Whether you use the footage to tell the story of the song, or the song
to define what the footage means to you, or just to create a pleasing
combination of Video & Sound is up to you.
[Fanvid (Fan Music Video) Contest

covers, such as Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Role Playing Games, Video Games, Anime, Animation, Asian
Cinema, Indie, Horror, Comics,
Renaissance, LARP, Fandom itself, etc. We cover a lot of topics, so if
you’re not sure if
your Fanvid qualifies then just e-mail us and ask. We are always happy
to answer questions.
3. You may submit Fanvids that contain video source footage that is
Live Action, Animated, CGI or a mix thereof.
4. You are not restricted from entering Fanvids that you have entered
at other conventions as long as they did not win an award. However you
are not permitted to re'enter Fanvids that you have entered at a
previous Fandemonium that you didn't win awards on unless significant
improvements have been made to them.
5. Only submit Fanvids that you had a hand in making. In other words
don't even think about trying to win awards & prizes off
someone
else’s hard work.
6. Your Fanvid(s) must be under 7min in length not counting opening and
ending credits. Which should contain your name and if applicable your
studio/group name, and the names of the video and audio sources used

not submit your only copy. Failure to provide a copy of your Fanvid on
a form of physical media will result in your disqualification from the
