Original Announcement
Spoiler!
****New**** UPDATE 11/01: New Deadline: November 20th
Submission Rules:
The Theme:
This MEP will feature AMVs which include the Psychopaths found in anime, or those who may seem to be violently Psychotic.
The main focus is on the heartless, violent, emotionless monsters who call themselves human and the atrocious acts they perform.
This may include any who kill without discretion.
Although this is not a comedy MEP, a humor oriented clip may be accepted, as long as it's "Dark Humor".
In other words, something you know you shouldn't laugh at and yet do.
Content:
Any amount of blood and gore is allowed. Even non-explicit nudity is allowed. Other than hentai, anything goes and should be fine.
Length:
I don't want to put any specific length restrictions, so as to limit creativity. But the majority of clips will likely be under 1:00min.
So try your best to at least keep it under 1:30 and to keep it interesting. No one likes an AMV that drags on.
Format:
Ideally your video should be 640x480 for fullscreen or 848x480 for widescreen and should be 23.976 fps Progressive.
The preferred method of compression is a "Huffy", "Lagarith" or "UtVideo" lossless AVI, with an uncompressed WAV as the audio.
Although, an h.264 MP4 with 320kbps MP3 or AAC may also be accepted. In this case, I highly suggest compressing it with Zarx264gui.
If you submit a clip that doesn't meet these guidelines, I'll do my best to work with it still.
But as long as you check the render settings in your editing program, you should be able to meet these specs.
Quality:
Your video should be as high quality as possible, while still meeting the specifications above.
Unless subtitles are "intentional" and "necessary", they should not be present in your video.
No form of a watermark will be allowed. Although if you properly crop the watermark off, and it doesn't detract from the video to much, it should be acceptable.
Uploading Your Video:
Preffered methods of upload.
1. Register, then download and install the Dropbox application.
2. Inside the Dropbox folder on your PC, place your video in the "Public" folder.
3. After your video has finished syncing/uploading, right-click your video and under the "Dropbox" tab, select "Copy public link".
That is the link we will need to download your video.

I might be inclined to do something for this. I always like a good bloodbath. I've got like 3 other projects I'm sending stuff into though so I can't make any promises on how quickly they'll be out.
Well if you have any ideas, or even a characters you think would be good to use, post it here.
Recently I've been trying to watch more anime with a lot of action and violence, where I can get some good ideas from.

Had to Google that, still haven't seen Baccano yet, but from what I have seen of Ladd(mostly from your amvs), he certainly would fit in well.
well i see you already aquanted with deadman wonderland, i kinda already gave a hint, hense the internet famoust yandere meme from mirai nikki
there is plenty phycho characters there
"Be happy"are the words you say, there is no one stronger, no one can replace you.
Jesus, I picked the worse time to get rid of Sony Vegas lol </3 Would of done a Higurashi clip, Probably featuring Shion. Sense she's the psycho-ist bitch in the whole series.

Spoiler!
Only in the arch she snaps, otherwise the crown of 'Queen Psycho Bitch' of Higurashi goes to Takano
Oh yeah, Takano , Yeah, provided she is ultra psycho, But, i kinda forgive her for being psycho because of her horrible, traumatizing childhood. D< ~♥ heheheh I fully believe she was raped in that orphanage. xD ...Who takes kid's, alone, with an adult, in an empty stall without a toilet? xDD

Spoiler!
And Shion was afflicted by the Hate Plague that makes everything an overreaction, lol. Takano only suffered said Hate Plague until AFTER her plans fell apart, I believe for most of the series her psychosis was her own, ESPECIALLY in the Manga, where it shows Takano dissecting Rika's Mother...ALIVE. Traumatic Childhood or no, Takano is still one crazy bitch...hence why she is on my list of top twenty anime/manga villains

Yeah, I saw Deadman Wonderland, I actually liked it a lot more than I thought I would.
Never seen Mirai Nikki before though, I'll have to check it out later.
