LOL. I think it's cool there are still some people who are willing to stick their neck out and take shots. In this day and age I had almost given up hope for the AMV community.milkmandan wrote:lets leave the effect heavy, psychedelic rainbow text effect, character color cut out trip, to the original creator of such an idea, Jay (Koop).

I guess no one really listens to PHADE anymore.
Absolutely true.Castor Troy wrote:I didn't get in this year regardless of my Best of Show win at Acen 2008, but I guess that meant the competition was pretty tough. Amv contests are always unpredictable.
Congratulations to all of the other finalists.I haven't seen the majority of the finalist videos, and I am probably waaayy off but I might as well take a few guesses here. XDxstylus wrote:With the results posted, I'd like to pose a bit of a guessing game.
What were the top three shows used in the competition?
Hint 1: #1 beat Haruhi, Lucky Star, Eva, Naruto, DBZ, Air, Kanon, and Princess Tutu COMBINED.
Hint 2: So did #2.
Hint 3: So did #3.
Results will be announced at the competition. Winner gets to gloat here publicly.

The only consistency I've found in AMV contests is that whatever video of mine makes the finals at FanimeCon doesn't make it into AX, and vice versa. I submitted "Fix You" to Fanime this year, and "Soarin"" made it in instead (which, of course, didn't make it in at AX).
If past cons are any indication, the AMV contest will likely be on Thursday night, the first night. But don't quote me on that. Just putting forth my personal experience...
See you all there!
Wow, Brad is still alive!!! Cool... It would seem I spoke too soon. Despite my championing of this video at Fanime, it fell before VampireAnneke's "Too Loud", the only video to win BOTH the judges' AND the audience vote in its category (I would suspect that it not being in the AX finals is because she didn't submit it - still pretty dang funny, though - Stan Freberg is GOD!).MisterFurious wrote:I'm so glad I'm in the Drama category rather than Comedy. I just saw "The Harassment of Kyon" at Fanime, and I wouldn't stand a chance!
Best of luck to to everyone, but especially everyone else in the Comedy category (you're going to need it!).
