THANK YOU

At the exec screening I was asked about which anime was used, and at least one got all girly squeeing happy because she had just bought it, but not had time to watch it

That right there makes entering and not winning totally worth it XD

I wonder what the judges thought of mine, as it was originally disqualified for the language in the song, but ended up making the final cut (after getting moved to a different category).

For some reason my curiosity has been piqued by this and I wanna know which video it was so I may watch it.

They laughed and said that what I DQ'd it for was ok for con

Also the fact that they scored it high enough to make the finals, and moved it to comedy says a lot.


at screening I stay logged into the submission site because for some execs this is where they find new anime to watch and I get asked constantly if I know what anime was used

Hmm now I'm kinda curious what is thought about mine...

Since originally, I had thought it to be my best work yet and had high hopes for it, now, not so much...

I know it's popular among the fans the series, but I'm curious at what non-fans think of it. I tried to make the story appear as obvious as I could and use characters who are important throughout the vid, but to an average viewer, all that work just might go over their heads...

(plus I wanted to make it epic enough so people would watch the series... :P )
Currently replaying/recording: Tales of Vesperia (Xbox360) and Tales of Graces F (PS3)

I certainly enjoyed your video even though I haven't seen the anime. My video was also in the action category. The action category had a lot of really good videos this year, and the one which won the category used the same song as yours and played before it IIRC. I think Dinger said something about there being 7-8 videos with that same song submitted this year. :shock:

Anyway, yours was a great video and it was cool seeing it on the big screen. :up:

It's always great seeing your vids up on the big screen, with the nice sound system--that's one of the main reasons to enter a contest, as far as I'm concerned. It was also the great thing about having the overnight shift. I totally indulged myself in nepotism and showed a lot of my own videos--it was like the the AMV room was my own personal home theatre, at least for a while. :awesome:

I'm working on getting a playlist together for the two shifts, btw. Once my brain is working properly---I'm still recovering.

Definitely, I enjoyed it very much seeing my video last year at Animazement. It is also way more fun to be there when you win :)! When I won with my video "Evangelion 0.11 - Shinji is (Not) the Boss" Spike Spencer was sitting right there and after hearing the title decided to come shake my hand, haha!

Damn straight. I was in the room for a lot of the non-finalist block, and I was shocked at how many high quality entries didn't make the cut. So even if you didn't make the finals, don't feel bad, you're in good company.


This. So much. The finalists rocked, but watching all the other entries, I was amazed at what didn't make the cut. Wanna give a shout-out to whoever did the "Durara Love Medley", it was honestly my favorite of all of the non-finalists.


Oh yeah. If "Medley" had made it into the finals, it would have been an agonizing decision between that one and Vlad's video for my Best in Show vote. Has whoever edited the Medley video posted it to the org yet? Because I want it. THAT was pure comedy gold. THAT is how comedy is done, kids.

And Vlad, have you uploaded "Flash", yet? Me wants, please.

Oh for the person who asked which was my favorite pick this year.

I would have to say it was The Bridge Effect

Hey Dinger...

Can we get a title or a creator name on that Durarara!! Medley one? I didn't catch it off the list when I was behind the table, and I'd like to search for it here on the .org, but I'm too sick and tired right now to do it and I'm afraid I'll miss it.
