I got you mixed up with someone else, sorry >_<
I will once again quote this:
Quote:Contest Submissions that do not meet the following "Content Guidelines" are subject to disqualification, in Sponsor's discretion:
I went overboard. I thought it was the same kid trying to cause trouble again and I got slightly angry (at that kid, not at you) and decided to put it super bluntly. In other words, its up to nexon to decide what should be disqualified or not. Let them do their job and just sit back and watch because we're not the one interpreting the rules; they are.
And if you want to go by the book so much, I'll post this:
Quote:All judging and selection of Entrants will be based on the following judging criteria: (i) creativity, (ii) originality, and (iii) storytelling all directed to the theme of the Contest Submission.
Your Video
Creativity: People have made boss videos for years. Yours adds nothing new to it.
Originality: See above. Videos of people fighting multiple bosses have been an idea used in countless other boss videos already. Nothing original here.
Storytelling: There's no storyline. Its merely you and your guild going around killing bosses, which has no storyline.
It doesnt matter how many rules you followed... yours couldn't have won because your video didnt fare well in all aspects of judging.
Though rules are important, they certainly arent everything. Maybe next time, instead of just reading the rules, read HOW they're judging too *F3*.
Once again, sorry for my bluntness in replying. I know the damage has been done but... yeah. =X I hold nothing against you... its just that I merely confused you and someone else who posted in the same manner (regretably)

I've meant to leave a comment on the thread starter's video in a while but never found the time to do so so I'll do it now.
When I watched the video roughly a week (or half a week) ago, I was impressed. Indeed this is a "guild boss hunting" video, but you made it so much more. You built a whole story into it, in which boss hunting wasnt the objective of the video. The objective became the telling of a story of growth and improvement and your footage portrayed that well.
The storyline was nicely constructed and the quotes thrown in there fit perfectly and added to this storyline and the video about "conquering the impossible' with boss footage to reinforce that was creatively done. The transitions were nicely done from scene to scene and synced with the music nicely.
However, there were a few things I felt could be improved:
1. The music transitions werent exactly smooth. I felt the Elin forest music to the Crimsonwood music could've been done at a slightly different point (perhaps when zakum spawned or something else?). It just didnt feel as if there was a smooth transition point there.
2. I know they're useful and an essential part of every mapler's experience but in terms of videos, I'd say close the hp mark and chat boxes or at least edit them completely out of the footage. Its not a big thing, but it makes the viewing pleasure more enjoyable.
3. Personally I felt that the 3rd job advancement scene was a bit out of place, but that's just me and the chat there was a bit... strange? It certainly didnt add to what the video was trying to portray to the audience. I understand that you're taking scenes and sticking it into a video but it doesnt change the fact it was a bit strange =X
Overall a nice effort. The best video won and from one video winner to another, congratz ^^
