Here's a video of an adorable cat.
Not appropriate for the portal, though.

Live action; no animation elements. This was actually shown off here last day too - I think BlueMonday1984 brought it up on their post and it got unpublished. Was resubmitted today though; the only difference is that the first introduction sequence has been cut.

I think this was it too... wish there was a way to double check. Unless there is, and I'm not familiar with it.

a stolen clip from Chicken Run
It's another one of those "lucas" sockpuppets
Judging by the submission titles and the user's art page they might simply submit whetever they have lying around and use the movie portal as an advertising banner for their fetish requests!
Still image. No animation

I unpublished it & unpublished it again when it was re-uploaded but since Tom republished it because the guy made the whole thing not just using a premade vizualiser, it's going to be allowed.

"Do not submit something that is merely a sound visualizer set to music, or a recording of your music project timeline. If you want to promote your song in the movie portal, it should be set to original animation like a proper music video; otherwise stick to the Audio Portal."
Note the "proper music video" part. Do I see a comma over there. Let's eat Grandpa!
Do also note it doesn't say "third party visualizer." If you made it yourself, it's not allowed:

Clear wording is clearly needed. Tell Tom it's an obvious double standard.

Here's the clear wording: Tom's site. Tom's rules. That's pretty clear, I think. :3
Again, vote however you like.

A movie about apples is posted. It passes with a score of 3.1/5, only to get taken down. No other rules are broken. Tom explicitly tells the mods you can't make movies about apples, even though it's not in the guidelines.
Tom's site, Tom's rules. You have no right to complain!

UPDATE: Tom responded: I was able to convince him to update the Guidelines:
The following rule's been added
"You might get a pass on a custom-made visualizer if it feels like it had real work put into it (vs running your song through a stock visualizer) but if you start uploading multiple songs the same way, they will be treated as shovelware; items being made in bulk with a template."

sooo I'm going to keep flagging items that are being uploaded to the movies portal that are songs set to an audio visualizer experience, a ratio of -1/+1000 I believe is an acceptable flag loss for me

So, he told you the same thing that @gamejunkie and I both told you? What was that about being gaslit?

Well you didn't word it like that. You implied that Tom has the right to ignore or go against the written rules, and there's nothing you can do about it" as if that's a good thing.
"Tom's site" is an obvious dogwhistle intended to deflect criticism against him and justify discrepancies in his judgments, whether they're right or not.

Problem: Tom's statement seemed to go against a vague rule in the Movie Guidelines.
Either he was wrong or the rule was wrong. (spoiler: it was the rule)
Nuff said. But, v0te however you will.
He didn't explain why he gave it a pass, hence why I asked him about it, and thus the guideline update.
When you speak on Tom's behalf, you either misinterpret what he's saying or leave important details out, and when you're not expecting to be called out on it, it seems incredibly suspicious.
You just don't want to debate, address, or even acknowlege there was a problem in the first place.
