Welcome one and all the the start of Project Org Editor 2016! To start things off, we're gonna take you back to the early 2000's. This was a point in time when watching Saturday Morning Cartoons was the highlight of every child's week. And one that was especially popular was an American animated television series called "Jackie Chan Adventures". It stars a fictionalized version of action film star Jackie Chan, and follows him on his quest to find a collection of twelve powerful magical artifacts known as the Talismans of Shendu. Each talisman is named after a animal in the Chinese zodiac and grants its user a very unique power. If put in the wrong hands, these talismans can be used to revive the evil Shendu that threatens to take over the entire world.
Round Challenge
For round 1, you will be choosing one of the Twelve Talismans and editing a video inspired by their powers. Please note that the theme of your video should be their powers, and not simply the animals that they're named after. For example: Editing a video about dogs will not be enough to satisfy the theme if you choose the Dog Talisman. You're allowed to incorporate dogs into your video, but the core concept should be about its powers of "Immortality and Rejuvenation". A list of the powers relating to each Talisman can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EqDjEJPidVlbNYr4D3qfhqePNexYLdFyw1DNwOHpNI4/edit?usp=sharing

When finished, please upload your video to a reputable file sharing service and send the download link to me via a private message on animemusicvideos.org. The body of your message should also include the name of the Talisman who's powers your video represents. Google Drive and Dropbox are the preferred methods of uploading your video, but please ensure that the URL you send is a “shared” or “public” link. Sendspace is not recommended due to a daily download limit that it imposes. Note: Youtube or ”streaming only” links will not be accepted. You do not have to wait until the final day to submit your video. You are also free to publicly share and upload your videos before the deadline. Just be aware that doing so may help your opponents. If you finish early and feel that your video does not need anymore tweaking, you may submit it at any time before Sunday, June 26th @ 11:59PM EST. At the end of each round, all the submitted videos will be made available to the public to stream on google drive. If you would like the download option to be disabled on your video and to only allow it to be streamed, please add this request to the body of your submission message.

Besides every great anime character is an even greater mascot character. That's how that saying goes right? And although they aren't usually at the center of attention, they still contribute to the story in their own special way. Whether its Pikachu from Pokemon, Kyubey from Madoka, or Kon from Bleach; these characters are known by people that aren't even familiar with the anime. And often times, they become the most iconic and recognizable figures of their respective franchises.
Round Challenge
For round 2, you will be creating a character profile AMV that centers around the mascot of an anime series. Please note that your chosen mascot character should be the main focus of the video, and showing it for just a scene or two will not be enough to satisfy the theme. Lists of popular mascot characters can be found here: *Crunchyroll: Top 20 Cutest Mascot Characters, *MAL: Top 10 Cute Animals & Mascots, *ANN: Favorite Mascots, *Sporcle Anime Collage, *Anime Yume: Top 10 Animal Mascots. These lists are by no means comprehensive, and you are free to pick mascot characters that aren't mentioned.

There's a fine line between passion and obsession. But once it gets crossed, even a simple hobby can become extreme and excessive. Obsessions are defined as: "ideas or thoughts that continually preoccupies or intrudes on a person's mind". And although many people say that obsession breeds creativity, when left unchecked, obsessions can sometimes become unhealthy addictions.
Round Challenge
For round 3, you will be creating an AMV that centers around an addiction or obsession. You're allowed to choose anything you want as the target of the obsession, but keep in mind that it should be the main focus of the video. And so showing it for just a scene or two will not be enough to satisfy the theme.

Round Challenge
For round 4, you'll be creating a video that doesn't just focus on a main character or star player. Instead, you'll be showcasing a team or collaboration; and highlighting the individuals within it. The core concept of your video should be the teamwork of the characters featured in your video; and so simply showing them for a scene or 2 will not be enough to satisfy the theme. By the end of the video, the viewer should be able to see their contributions, and understand their importance.

You may tell the story as it was originally told, or put your own creative spin on it.

All good anime must eventually come to an end. But even the best endings can sometimes leave you wanting more. Whether its a loose string that never got tied up, or a conclusion that felt a little too forced; there's always room for improvement.
Round Challenge
Congratulations to Angeldragoon, UnluckyArtist, Scara99, MadMegatax, MoonlightFilly, OnyxAMVs, Pikapwn, and SeanPNG for making it to the Semifinals. For this round, the theme shall be “How It Should Have Ended”. And so you'll be editing a AMV that alters the plot of an anime, and creates a new ending for it. This can be anything from completely rewriting the story or making an addition to the preexisting or canon conclusion. This is the Semifinals, so you've already proven that you can be creative and innovative. So show us what you got! Only the editors with the top 4 videos will advance to the next round.
Note: Due to the nature of this round, it's highly encouraged that all participants write a short description of how you altered the ending of your anime. Keep in mind that the judges aren't familiar with every anime in existence, so your video might need some explanation.

The best stories almost always feature characters going on adventures that take them to brand new lands. Whether its to search for treasure, defeat a great evil, save or friend, or to simply find oneself, these journey's often change their lives forever.
Congratulations to Angeldragoon, UnluckyArtist, Scara99, and MadMegatax for making it to the finals! For this round, the theme shall be Adventure Time! You'll need to create a video that showcases a character's adventure or journey and the changes that resulted from it.

And remember, that this is your last chance to show us what you got. The editor with the highest total for this round will be crowned our 2016 Project Org Editor Champion!
