Tower of Druaga to Final Fantasy with Lyrics.

That was my favorite video in the entire contest this year.

[Rider4Z]

Finals are a mixed bag to me. There are plenty of great videos in there and a number of which which made voting easy for me because they were ones I nominated for their catagoires. But there are some that baffle me taht they got there. Actually there is one catagory I didn't vote on because I didn't think any of the videos nominated deserved it (forgot the catagory atm).

Anyway as to my work since none of them made it I migh tas wel post. Not that it will surprise anybody since they were my AX entries this year - at least as to one of them.

Videos #10 and #19 were mine.

So I had the one to The Animatrix to Death by White Lies and the Tower of Druaga to Final Fantasy with Lyrics.

both deserved to be finalists

I did the Kung Fu Panda one...

Got into editing it and realized "Crap...the bad guy isn't actually in the movie as much as I remembered and when he is in a scene he's talking the entire time. Severely limited what I wanted to go for and I had to shorten the song. But oh well. The bad thing about not getting the nomination is there isn't as much breath holding and anticipation before the awards ceremony.

I figured I'd get a nom for character profile if nothing else. Oh well I'm glad at least a few enjoyed it. Now to finish voting.

I really enjoyed that, but I also understood the limitation of the source material.

I did number 6. Too hot for AWA despite my best efforts. While i'm fine with the decision I will state that i find the violence=ok sex=not viewpoint of our society to be rather silly.

This is true, I've had videos this year DQed a couple of times at other conventions based on the content...

[Brakus]

So, Patrick, for those of us that chose not to send in for Pro this year, how can we see the list of entries that were sent for Pro? (And the ones for Expo too, for that matter?) It used to be that we'd go to awa-vat.org and sign in that way, but this is a whole new bag this year.

Very silly.

I thought your best efforts were sufficient within an R.

The finalists fit actually most part of the categories. The videos I voted just after the categorie nomination are often in the finalists.

The sentimental categorie is maybe the one where the finalists are no obvious. But actually I never understand the difference between sentimental and romance :p

So good luck to the finalists.
