===========10th February==========

Not a lot of events occurring during last month, especially since the FanFestival event, a convention organized in the Cannes’s festival palace (yes, the very same used for films nomination) eventually didn’t manage to organize its own AMV contest. Still, here are the recent news from France:
(PS: thanks Fadoo for the online tournament update)


***** French online tournament – take a nap? *****

“Judges are lazy. And cruel.”
Of course, this is not my own comments (since I didn’t get my result yet :P ), but it’s understandable remarks when you heard some of the chosen music…
Results take some time to come too, but it looks like they got their asses kicked enough by Tyler to deliver some:

Too bad to see some very good editor giving up for IRL/personal reasons, looks like it was the case in 1st round of previous edition too though …

***** Iron Chef 16 – Per team ? *****

As you may now, Kragdrim won latest French Iron chef and consequently is in charge of organizing the next one. And he got an interesting idea: since there are more and more people interested in participating to an IC, why not doing a team IC? Looks good to me, and I want to see how this will be handle by the participants and by Kragdrim.


***** AMV-France: ongoing *****

Some movements on this side too, concerning the merge of fantasy-movies and amvdefans websites. While the webmasters are discussing about the site contents, a logo contest in on the way:

Nothing’s decided yet. I personally like a lot Solene’s creation:

And you, which do you prefer?

***** This month’s creator: DarkKirua *****

On a side note, Reznic (the editor I talked about last month) has just released another video, and is doing well in the rookie category of VCA.

DarkKirua is known here as kiruazoldik:

He’s an editor who tends to specialize into drama vids. His latest videos turn to be very dark and dramatic, especially Agony which focus on the hard path taken by the Elric brothers. Fans of comedy videos shall search somewhere else: here his aim is to make us feel the sadness of the anmie character he used, and he’s really good at this.
He also has participated to the Memory Flash project, and managed then to create a very surprising track using …. Card Captor Sakura! While other editors feared that the track may damage the overall flow of the project, he did an outstanding job and managed to keep a good atmosphere.
Though he started to edit videos quite along time ago, last year was his most active year with only 3 videos. As he generally presents his video only on francophone website, I think I should introduce some of them here:


Some of his works:
