Dearest Enlings,
For the next two months, EnY is going to do a fanvideo theme based on the story of R&R II. The translations of the Asakura report are available on our website and we would like to ask you to make a video based on it. (Click here to read it!!) You can use any songs you want, and make the video using any clip/movie/anime that you like. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can even create your own clips or draw the storyline and put them together in a video! There are no restrictions as to the song or video used, as long as it’s related to the R&R story. :D

Judging criteria:

Interpretation of the story (10 points)

• Does it actually tell the story of R&R II?
• What kind of story?

Originality (10 points)

• This will depend on the story and theme chosen for the video and the way the story is presented. Using Gackt’s songs and Gackt’s images are of course perfectly fine, but it will be nice to see the video played to different songs or even scenes from a different source. :D

Suitability of the music and clip chosen (10 points)

• Does the song and clip fit the overall theme? (Lyrics will also be taken into account)
• If you want to use a foreign song, please attach the lyrics translation as well.

Timing of the music and the clips (10 points)

• How well are the clips timed to the music?
• How well are the shots spliced together?
• Did the effects suit the video?
