Hm. Did anyone hear about how the entries were selected this year? Usually, I hear something about a weekend where a bunch of people get together to choose which videos got in, but, and maybe I'm just forgetting it, I heard nothing about that here. Is it possible that the list of finalists isn't complete yet?

...Yeah, I'm beginning to chomp at the bit here.

The way I see it, software an editor does not make. However, software can make an editors life much easier. I always tell fledgling editors the same thing: make your first videos in a linear editor like WMM or iMovie. Make a trailer, or something with a simple concept. Once you've done that one or three times, buy a good NLE and never look back.

That's Sunako Nakahara, from The Wallflower. She's basically me, in chibi form. I love her so much, I even got a tattoo:

I certainly hope that's what it means. I still hope I'll be getting in - the longer I have to wait to find out if I'm in the finals, the less and less confident I am in my video. I don't like that.

Last year at Yaoi-Con, I didn't even know if my vid was in until I walked into the contest room and saw the ballot; I was a nervous wreck up until that moment. I pity my poor friend that was with me in the line up. :shock:

Jeez. Yeah, Katsucon is, like, my birthday con. I adore it, and my friends will put up with basically anything because of it. I don't want to have to make them go through me ranting the whole time until the contest, though.

Happy (almost) birthday!

I feel decreasingly confident in my videos the longer I wait to hear too.

While I'm fairly certain of SOME videos that made the finals I can't quote a list even I don't have yet.
BUT...
I do have the Comedy finalists so I'll tease you with those.
There are four out of several we received within the deadline extensions so no one was a sure thing.

COMEDY FINALISTS:
jubjub2
HalOfBorg
Davis 51 - Under The Box Productions
SammySama Productions

And to address the concern earlier about it being a tough contest this year, I can tell you that Action and Upbeat are gonna present a lot of tough choices.

OH, and a point of interest.
That "plane hangar" Katsucon held main events in last year?
We have an actual ballroom this time.
I'm guessing the acoustics will be better.
And we're gonna get together with the tech crew tomorrow night and make sure there will be no sound problems or equipment conflicts again.

Finally, I just heard from Gene.
The list will be posted TONIGHT!!!
Stay tuned for more... :sweat:
