"A total of 20 teams are being invited to participate."
Quite dissapointing - as an AMV editor I'd love a crack at this. Who are these "teams", and what are the criteria for invitation? |

Well, Central Park Media talking about a new release at all is a bit of good news. I hope that means they've turned the corner with their business woes.
Then again, the cynical might be amused that they're basically running a contest to get someone to create a trailer for them; it's as if they don't have any employees left who can do the job after their massive layoffs from a while back... But that's just a mean way of thinking. Any indication that CPM's still alive and kicking is certainly encouraging. |

It'll be interesting on how they determine the selected 20. Do they accept input from any "team" (and what determines a team) and then they decide the 20?

But is the prize worth it? The DVDs loose value over time. Is the chroma-cel actually a valuable collectible? Same goes for the model kit. Is it really worth anything?
I think that money is alot easier to deal with as a prize. This prize will have to be split up between the members of the team after all. |

A new release?
I hope it really it is a) a new license and not another re-release b) an old school show |

So, wait, CPM is giving away a copy of their entire library as a prize? Sweet, I'll take a shot at it. I guess you have to create a team of people? I know a couple of people who'd probably do it (I have a friend who's making a vid featuring clips from the games "Starcraft" and "SOCOM: U.S. Navy Seals").
So how do you enter? I can't seem to find any entry forms or info or anything. Why can't ADV do something like this? That'd be about a billion dollars worth of anime, I figure.

Hmmmm... perhaps video editting as a hobby can finally pay off.
Granted... I don't think there's all that many Central Park Media titles that I actually like. Utena, Arlsan, and ummmm...
