Wowzers. Thats just making me spazz out even more. lol.

Can I just say again how much I love love love Extraball? What program did you use to make it? How long did it take you?

Awesome sauce. :)

I used Sony Vegas Pro 9 and 10. I started making it sometime late January I think, and finished it on the deadline for Kawaii-Kon sometime early March. But I made Prelude to Dreams in that time frame too and really procrastinated on Extraball, but I spent about 40-50 hours on it I would imagine.

Ah hah, I've heard that Vegas has a super shiny rotoscoping tool, that must have helped a lot? I am honestly shocked that it only took three months! That amount of work in AE feels like it would have taken FOREVER. Maybe I'll have to look into getting Vegas after all.

Oh, I took no offense. :) Just debating is all. Honestly I think that the Ke$ha vid had the audio working AGAINST it. When that one came up I heard audible groans all around me. It got my vote though, because despite the Ke$ha, it was amusing and well-edited. It's rare to see funny romance videos.
Yeah..I was a little surprised that won..I mean I understand comedy but I don't understand why romance. Would you happen to know how many people pick the finalist for the con? Only one person? Or a few? Well..no use arguing whats been done. Hopefully next year their will be a better selection of videos and winners for anime boston.

IIRC, Adam (the contest coordinator) said over 30 people showed up to the prescreening - it's a really big party. Also a pretty long one... there were over 150 entries this year.

150 videos would take forever to go through lol.

And for editor awards at least, I think it said on the rules page about having a panel of 5 judges comprised of AB staff/editors.
