Do I just dig for the sticks? No. Not exactly.

Do you only make AMVs for contests? Don't get me wrong. I like AMV contests. I've even made the cut a few times and even been lucky enough to win a couple times. But that's not why I make AMVs.

Would you make AMVs and share them here and on youtube even if there were no AMV contests?

(Can you tell me what anime the title of this thread if from?) :wink:

I wonder how many times and different ways we can ask the same freaking question on here? :ying:

For cons, not necessarily for contests, but for the con screenings. Without other people around, you can't really tell how you were received.

I would never share them on youtube. In fact, that reminds me it's time for another round of take-down requests...

Never submitted an AMV to a con. I only make them to upload to this site and the tube.

I do a little dabbling in both.

I definitely make certain AMV's for me and for my friends. I also love my Youtube account, it's nice to see your work appreciated. Same goes for the org, and it's very nice to get your work critiqued. But then I've also made several videos just for con audiences and the hopes of winning, mostly because of my competitive nature I have, and the desire to evolve with the times.

I made videos before I was aware there were contests for such things, so I don't see why I wouldn't continue.

I originally didn't care about contests until a friend of mine told me that I should enter them.

No. But contests are an excellent motivator.

I do what I want (AMVs) for what I want (myself, mainly).

Contests are just cherry on top.

this is the first year in 4 years that i've ever entered a con, and it wasn't one of the huge ones.

if i edited for cons, i'd actually be dedicated to learning premiere/after effects :nose:

When I first got on to the scene I thought my videos weren't good enough for contests... until I met Rina and she forced me into entering an online contest.. Still wouldn't enter an actual convention contest for a long while O.o

I don't really make my videos for contests but since they are there with a shiny audience I do enter them. If I can get into the finals or if the contest has an amv room then it's all good to me.

I never did AMVs exclusive for the contests, but from time to time I participate, I think that participate is not bad, the reasons depend on each editor! :beer:

Yes and no. I normally edit something with the intent of entering it but i usually miss the deadline and end up not entering. So I guess you could say contests are my motivation. That sounds terrible.
