otc, 4. December 2006, 08:07

Can someone explain how to use the < small > command. When I use it, it just turns everything smaller.

progosk, 4. December 2006, 08:20

otc: use that at the beginning of the section, and < /small > at the end of the section you want small. rgarding unknown/unsigned, www.mvdbase.com can be useful for reference of who's signed. oh, and: war photographer is def 2005.

k: please do nitpick. i'll correct them accordingly.

dingleberry, 4. December 2006, 09:26

whats the deal with self-nominations? I guess they have to be okay b/c of the anonymous nature of the site..??

progosk, 4. December 2006, 10:02

self-nominations are fine, since 1. they'll stick out like sore thumbs, 2. they're likely to get drowned by numbers.

kevathens, 4. December 2006, 13:21

otc: animated: Baby C'mon was 2005 - I'll sit back now and correct dates, as I think they'll be adding up very quickly. War Photographer was 2005.

P: Air "Don't Be Light" 2001
Mates of State "Goods (All in your head)" 2005
Andy Bruntel is signed to TDB

If Ben R. doesn't get best new director it'll be a bit of a travesty. Anyway, consider that another nomination.

kevathens, 8. December 2006, 13:04

The only problem I had with Rollason & Albertin is that they've been around since 2004. Albertin would have been perfect for 2004; Rollason, 2005. Norton, 2005. ..etc..

robodrug, 8. December 2006, 13:08

Kev sez - "Are you saying Shortsville needs an Awards too?"

Well why not mate, seems fair do's!
Not that I'm that familiar wiv shotville iv Hardy comes to Shove!

ford, 8. December 2006, 14:40

okay, just because the animation section is all filled up with videos and my friend's video ---

i nominate:
james sumner for: unknown/unsigned!!

i also nominate myself for best non-director

robodrug, 8. December 2006, 15:09

Thats a tad unfair Kev

"The only problem I had with Rollason & Albertin"

Since I don't know the rules and parameters for the last awards Antville held

Take MTV Awards New Acts for an example

2003
Sean Paul around JA & US since 99, 2000 "Hot Gal Today, billboard rap chart top ten

2004
Maroon 5
already won awards for their Songs About Jane. Released in June 2002

2006
Gnarls Barkley
Well they dain't have a 'Best new act' this year coz it'd be a bit ov a travesty wiv Danger Mouse knockin around since 1998
and Cee-Lo since 1995 so they called it 'Future Sounds'

As for the definition of new or unknown director...
I suggest that if before the start of the year noone had really heard of them or they had yet to direct their first 'big' video, then they are "unknown"
If before the start of the year they had only shown great promise on a few good videos, they shold be "new" no matter how long they've been knocking about! It takes time to really get to be a proper director- I guess there's quite a few of you that know that...

Kev, I did not really like Jaron before this year. But he bookend 06 with videos I immediately told people they needed to see.

kevathens, 9. December 2006, 02:03

No justification necessary! If this is the year Antville crowns Jaron king, let's do it. I've been wanting to Q&A the guy for a while now, as he is a serious talent that deserves promotion.

lusk81, 9. December 2006, 02:25

If we're bending time here, my nominations for best director are as follows:

- Jaron Albertin
- Martin Dethurah

And video of the year still stands with Royksopp - What Else Is There.

i've pretty much got'em in the bag - thx for th'offer

but: i need strikethrough (otherwise i don't know what you had before, 'n have to talley all over...)

kevathens, 10. December 2006, 22:17

I'll quit. In the last hour I killed animated: Knife "Like a Pen", added "We Share" (it really is more iconic, imo), fun: Deichkind kill Raconteurs "Steady", editing: Johan kill Gnarls (seriously: watch Johan! It's killer!).

I'm doing analysis currently on the year's vids and will make some big hullabaloo about what I think was best sometime soon..

coady, 10. December 2006, 22:24

I regret that I have but nomination to give to my favorite video site, but it's thus far been sorely missed:

Most Fun: Hunger Pains, Electric Duck Experience, ltd.

videos.antville.org

The industry can be discussed, formal elements of video making can be examined and lord knows we (myself a chief instigator) can try to discern the meaning of the modern world as seen through the lens of videos, but this is the one I've watched repeatedly since I first saw it here.

progosk, 10. December 2006, 22:25

k: editing - last time i checked you had move along, like a pen and dayvan, so jhn killed knife (not gnarls) right?

kevathens, 10. December 2006, 22:26

Whoopsy, yes. :)

progosk, 10. December 2006, 22:31
