Trigun AMV Contest and Film Fest 

This was suggested ages ago by Mitsuki the ninja ... a Guild animation contest!
Create your own AMV (Anime Music Video) with Trigun as the underlying theme. You can incorporate any other anime or video footage as long as Trigun is included. Length, music genre and content are totally up to you, as long as they don't violate Gaia TOS.
Video composition MUST be your original work: stealing something from animemusicvideos.org or anywhere else on the Web is strictly forbidden!! We don't care if your work is less than perfect ... we want to see YOUR creation, not something you found on youtube. Deadline for entry is Sept. 10, when the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) starts. Videos links should be posted in this Contest Forum, and voting will go on until the end of September. The video which receives the most votes will win the Grand Prize. There may be additional prizes depending on number of entries, ties, etc.
All entrants will receive an MTV Awards Red Carpet,
a Wild West Holster, and an HSM Microphone.
Grand Prize: a Fluff Box (value around 70,000 gold)

If you feel a little daunted by the prospect of creating your own mix of Trigun animation and music, be sure to check out "Failed Attempts at Video Editing" by Elizabeth Kirkindall, a hilarious look at fan video production. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0B3eysqpMA It might inspire you to jump into your own film, or console you if you've just never gotten your own AMV to work right.
