I'm baffled as to why people are shying away from Comedy in recent years.

Whereas I'm baffled (but amused) as to why people are baffled every year at the relative lack of comedy compared to other genres. It seems to me like it's been going on for longer than that -- I can't remember a year (since I started paying attention) in which most contests *didn't* have this problem.

Whe-eh-ellllllll :awesome:

I have a trailer parody AMV I just finished editing that I was saving for something later, but I think now I'll enter in here. I'm not quite sure what the genre is, I personally thought it was more action-oriented than others, but everyone I've shown it to so far has thought it was a comedy.

It's almost ready to go, all it needs is to be cleaned up in AVISynth and rendered in MPEG2...

Busy with work but will have a chance to lock it up and send it in on Thursday or so...I'll write up an entry as soon as it's done. And if you guys think it's more 'action' than comedy, then feel free to disqualify it.

Anyway, get on it!
Time is running out...and there will be no further extension after this one. ;)
Sorry, already sent in two entries. Plus, I don't have any new comedy videos ready anyhow.

I have a question. My friend sent in her entry by mail and still has not received a confirmation email.

Her name is Rebecca Stanley. Did you receive any mail from this person?

Thank you very much. She sent it around November or so.

Midnight tomorrow is the ABSOLUTE END!
That means if you're watching anime on [adult swim] and haven't sent your comedy or romance entry it's too late. :P

But seriously...you now have less than 34 hours!

I was told to fix my video again and am currently reuploading. I will send the link when it finishes. Keep a look out for an email since we're so close to the deadline.

I remember a couple of years back when there was an overabundance of romance amvs. I stopped making them for a long time since unless yours was the absolute cream of the crop, it didn't even get in, much less have a chance of winning. I imagine I wasn't alone and that's why there aren't as many now.

Aside from the contest, its nice to see people's hard work get shown in front of so many people (at least i think it is). Gives me (and i hope others) a feeling of accomplishment and confidence. =O

Anyone have a rough idea when finalists will be posted? Just curious -so im not checking the forums every single day to find out it will be in like 8 days instead of 2- lol.

Typically the results come out within a week of con so give it 10-12 days before panicking. ;)
It could happen sooner but don't put money on it.

Rather than hope for 1st place, im hoping more for it to just be along the top as proof that im off to a good start and that ppl really did enjoy my video enough to rank it lol. Since ive finally gotten my hands on hardcore editing software, i can finally make real vids instead of ones i made as a kid.
