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.

BTW what is everyone's thoughts on making "Koop" the theme for the Acen 2009 AMV contest?

Absolutely true.

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!

I assume alot of people will be at work or class for thursday since the actual 4th of July isn't till Friday. I still think having it on Friday would be better for attendees and it would be a little more patriotic. :)

It's a good thing I'm taking that week off, but I'm only gonna come for the day of the contest. I haven't actually celebrated July 4th for the past 8 years thanks to AX. :P

:O I made it in! Thanks SO MUCH! Looks like I can go to bed and actually get some good sleep tonight. :) Congratulations to all of the other finalists.

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.
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. XD

#1 - Death Note
#2 - Ouran High School Host Club
#3 *Not sure on this one at all... Random guess* Kenshin??

Indeed I am, Vlad. Didn't you get the memo? I didn't go to Carousel. I'm a runner.

(Man, now I've REALLY dated myself!)

Best of luck to to everyone, but especially everyone else in the Comedy category (you're going to need it!).
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!).

I also happen to find myself in the unenviable position of not standing a chance, as Fanime's audience winner for action is running against my Drama entry at AX. But now, it's up against "Fix You"...

Again, you never can predict how things will go. It certainly makes it all fun...

If it helps any Brad, every one of the judges recognized the music from Soarin in the first few bars. Of course they were all OC natives. :)

OH and fyi, we only had 3 videos with Death Note in them.(yeah I was shocked too)
