Game Anyone Directors

[jackienspy]

justa quick question for becoming a director.  i have multiple LP's on going right now, so would i need to add the audio/watermark to each and every LP, or just 1 LP and finish that one and apply?  i would add the audiomark to my others as well and send them over as well, but i just want to be extra sure.

in my case, i have Final Fantasy 9 as my main LP, and i know it'll be 50+ videos, so i could start adding the audiomark starting ASAP, and keep it in for the duration until i finish the LP.

you need to add a watermark or audiomark to all of your videos forever, if you want to be a director. but you dont need to ripe your old videos down just to watermark or audiomark them. and you need more then 50 videos with water/audiomark, if you just have 50 or a few more you wont become a director, as far i know. and you need more then one LP/walkthrough with watermark/audiomarks. do this for some time and then apply.

more info here about applying for director http://www.gameanyone.com/?p=dirApply
correct me if im wrong with somethin'

EDIT: i forgot to say. try be creative with the watermarks. the directors also looks at your watermarks when applying.

you can always audiomark.  I don't like to mess with watermarks myself.

Annotations especially don't count now with the further fact that you can close them out on YouTube. Far far away from watermarks...

I must ask, as I do have roughly 250 videos in 5 playthroughs uploaded to the site, 31 of which are watermarked. If I just used Annotations on the remaining 20 to get the minimum 50 would my application for director get rejected then for that?

Yes it would be rejected, Annotations do NOT count as they are not permanently part of the video, it is also generally a good idea to have a lot more than the minimum 50 requirement and keep in mind that in-progress guides do not count, your guides must be complete and contain the minimum 50 videos with a audio or watermark.

what about if a was mid way through a game playthrough and i started using the watermarks? hence my upcoming modern warfare 2 guide.

I think any video audio or watermarked counts.

I'm starting to think that people still aren't getting the idea, that the 50 minimum isn't really a good shot at becoming a director in the first place.  And there a fair amount of previous posts with similar questions.  I know it's like 75 pages posts here.  But still, lol

I believe midway through still counts towards 50 minimum.  But 50 minimum isn't a good shot really.

I know what you mean. There's a lot of this "Lets just make it to 50, and then be done with it". Well, what if the guide isn't complete? You're going to be uploading the rest anyways, and if your guide is halfway done, add the watermark, but don't count it in - if it makes an impression, fine, if not, then leave it at that.

Seems to me like people misunderstanding the point of the watermark. I feel that people should be using it, not because they have to do it to become directors, but because they want to spread the word of Gameanyone, and it is that kind of people that should be made directors. Directors are people who make sure there are good guides on GA, not "just someone that posted watermarks on 50 videos".
