Re: Patrick Bohnet (Quu) Has Passed Away

I would like to personally extend my gratitude to those who signed the digital guestbook with well-wishes, and those whom were able to take the time and attend the services.

Re: Patrick Bohnet (Quu) Has Passed Away

When I submitted one of my first AMVs to the AWA Pro contest back in, God when was that, 2002? I was just starting out, didn't know anyone, had no confidence, etc. etc. My submission that year (the future boy conan video) caused him all kinds of grief I remember, there was some problem and I think ...

Re: Patrick Bohnet (Quu) Has Passed Away

one of my earlier AMV memories with Quu involved me, MCWagner who was a volunteer staff at the time, and would later go on to be VAT Director, in Patrick's house helping to copy the judging video screeners for Pro contest. ^_^ We used to distribute the screeners on VHS because the fastest internet D...

Re: Patrick Bohnet (Quu) Has Passed Away

I have no idea who Quu is, but he will be missed. Best of luck for his Wife and Daughter. Here's some information, so you have a bit more of an idea just on the AMV front how his life affected us. Quu was a person whom fell in love with AMVs since before the turn of the century as a fandom he saw w...

Re: Patrick Bohnet (Quu) Has Passed Away

Pat leaves behind a new daughter Sylvia, and wife Debra; as well as an unquestionably indelible mark on digital AMV production, and contest organisation of the last 20 years.

Re: Anime Expo 2011 Anime Music Video Contest rules are up!

In my view, the problem isn't confined to AMVs. Any endeavor that claims to be fan-based or fan-promoting i feel has a credibility problem with offering cash prizes. A prize in a con shouldn't be cash, it should be something that in some way enhances the fandom it derives from. The prize can be very...

Re: Anime Expo 2011 Anime Music Video Contest rules are up!

regardless of what either your positions are, AX can't indemnify for broadcasting it, its their responsibility when they exhibit materials. Some may argue that an ASCAP will cover that indemnification, but the point of the matter is to screen it shifts the burden to AX unquestionably as the screener...

Re: Anime Expo 2011 Anime Music Video Contest rules are up!

nah, i recognise your devil-advocacy, its cool. Seperate issue for me. But the overall vision I have of fandom and its appeal is being surrounded by compulsive talent, not necessarily solicited talent. (At least not by money) My view may be colored by the length of time I've been involved in AMV fan...

Re: Anime Expo 2011 Anime Music Video Contest rules are up!

Which means that at least in part, the symbol currency of respect to AX management is in fact monetary. If having their respect means they grant you cash, that means to them respect manifests itself in the form of cash.

Re: Anime Expo 2011 Anime Music Video Contest rules are up!

For those of you doing the math the cash prizing comes to 10K. This is in addition to that crappy Naruto figure you didn't want. ;) It has taken us many many years, to get this contest the respect it deserves and to be treated as more than the black sheep. Now we are the cool Black Sheep. :) I'm tr...

Re: AWA 2010 - Pro downloads active; Expo deadline August 20

Back in the late 90s, we were all hearing the murmurs circulating on the mostly still text-based internets that people were getting passed over in favour of editors who either produced spectacular work, or who produced work at a rapid interval. Additionally, the murmurs also were being critical of t...

Re: RealTek sound manager filters

yeah what he said. Short in the headgear or in the jack, sounds like.

To try and confirm it, pick a music track with very strong left and right noises that are very different, and compare. Or change headphones for a bit.
