G A M B L E: A Baba Yaga Arc MEP [AUDITIONS OPEN]
Click to viewOriginally, this was a project I was gonna do myself. But, the more I thought about it, the more I realized how important a piece like this would be to the SE fandom, and the more I realized it should involve more than one person. So, this MEP was born. The purpose of this MEP is to bring the Baba Yaga arc we see in ink and screentones to life, to the canon music from the climax of the anime. I feel like Taku Iwasaki's wonderful work in these two songs deserves to be done justice, and the anime didn't quite get there. So, we will!
The MEP is structured to follow the events of the arc in canon order (thus rule 8 below), and tell the story of the arc in the editing medium. I suggest you keep this idea of storytelling in mind for your audition. There are lots of awesome editors out there, but the reasons I have the favorite editors I do is because they're good storytellers.
I know this will be my first ever hosted MEP, but because of the subject matter, I'm gonna be tough in my judging. Keep in mind that this is the type of MMV that will be universally valuable to the fandom, in terms of the meaning it has for the story, and the sheer . . . EPICNESS . . . of the project. Yeah. XD Make sure it's your best work, basically.
Concept: During the Baba Yaga arc, everyone is taking a gamble, with their lives, their hearts, and their sanity. The title for this MEP comes from this idea of all the things the characters are risking as they fight Arachnophobia. This MEP aims to capture all those gambles, with balance and editing grace.
THE AUDITION DEADLINE IS 6/30/11.
