]]> Comment on $2,000 Video Contest! by James http://blog.tvfcu.com/2010/02/2000-video-contest/comment-page-1/#comment-653 James Wed, 21 Apr 2010 11:43:39 +0000 http://blog.tvfcu.com/?p=319#comment-653 Ben, thank you so much for your comment and concern and my apologies for the late response. Concerning the official rules that you mention let me clarify them as best as I can. First let me point out that many of the rules were created because we will be posting the videos via YouTube. If copyrighted material is used in a particular video, YouTube may remove the video completely from their site and thus prevent the person who entered it from possibly winning. Although the video you referenced does use copyrighted material YouTube did not see it as necesary to remove it at this time. It's a gamble to use copyrighted material like this and could illiminate the possibility oj ultimately finishing the competition if YouTube should choose to remove the video. Concerning the "violence" in the mentioned video, we felt that it was completely G-rated and not offensive in any way so we allowed it. If we thought for any reason that the "violence" in the video had moved beyond a slapstick approach we very well would have disqualified it. Again, thank you so much for your inquiry and I hope this helps clarify and answer your concerns. Also, please keep voting for your favorite as there are still 5 more days of voting left.

I didn't have a chance to make a video in time, but I have been watching and voting on the ones that were submitted. It was my understanding that the official rules had it where the videos weren't supposed to include any violence or copyrighted material http://www.tvfcu.com/scholarship/OfficialRules.pdf. The Bad Banks video, although well-made, is all about a guy getting repeatedly beaten up by a banker while the copyrighted song "Downtown" plays. I was wondering how this is fair to the other videos that avoided violence and used public domain music? I go to UTC and am in the Theatre Department.
