It was my first time actually attending the AMV Chef, and over all I thought it was great. Unfortunately I had to meet up with some people, but I came right back to finish up the event. Don't worry about the tech fail, stuff happens. I'm the epitome of patience when it comes to stuff like that.

Heh you know the funny thing is that I actually was convinced that you'd pick Ryder. Strangely I have no more logic for this other than the fact that you two are the biggest DBZ fans I know. But something kept telling me that you would pick Ryder.

I don't mind not editing, the trainwreck was a blast to work on even though it looks so horrible. Though I'm not sure what I'm going to do with that mp3 of happy happy joy joy I had set aside for the contest now.

Great showing this year but I do agree with Yue that for another "do you know the anime" game it would be wise to pick something newer as old shows stump a lot of people and they need some more easy gimmies before people start getting eliminated. Hell each one got by with one guess before they started rapidly dropping.

Great showing this year, I'll be more than happy to return next year given the chance.

Haha, that too. :P

But I was ALMOST gonna pull a fast one and choose Kerry until he declined at the AMV 101 panel.

That was definitely a thought, and somewhat why I selected people before playing the video.

Because of the ever changing nature of contests, especially AX's, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity for us to settle the score just in case neither of us made the contest in the future. Victoria was always my first choice, but I also contemplated challenging everyone else for the reasons I stated above.

how about 3 outta 5? BUT HEY i did make the pre-show with a DBZ vid! granted the preshow is entirely up to DP but still...
As for her video, I just rewatched it and it's far better than she actually gives it credit for. It flows quite well, the scenes actually fit the mood, and was quite experimental with the multiple audio sources. I personally thought I was resorting to fan-pandering with mine, but I thought more of a con audience first over artistic merit and I thought Victoria's video had a bit more of artistic merit.

appreciated. it's still embarrassing to watch. i'm up for shots next time :beer:

You have a terrible AX record?

Spoiler :
1999 - Submitted AMV that will not be named because I'm still too ashamed of it

2000 - Submitted 1 AMV - did not make it in

2001 - Submitted 2 amvs - neither made it in

2002 - Submitted 2 amvs - neither made it in

2003 - Submitted 1 amv - did not make it in

2004 - Submitted 2 amvs - both made it in




2005 - Submitted 2 amvs - one made it in



2006 - Submitted 3 amvs - one made it in



2007 - Submitted 3 amvs - 2 did not make it in - 1 sort of made it in and sort of won
This was the bizzare year. Because the third video won the AMTV catagory but it wasn't even a catagory yet, the award was given to me at the awards ceremony for a non-existant catagory at that time. So I technically have an award from a catagory that doesn't exist.



2008 - Submitted 3 amvs - one made preshow



2009 - Submitted 3 amvs - one made preshow



2010 - Submitted 1 amv - Did not make it in (shouldn't have submittede that year, was busy with BAR exam and wedding) - Won AMV Iron Chef



2011 - Submitted 3 AMVs - 2 made finals

Previously linked


So I've been submitting for 13 years, 27 videos entered, 6 have made finals, one SORT OF won an award and another 2 were in pre-show. So in 13 yeras I've actually never won anything at the main AMV contest except for that wierd year of 2007 which I've yet to figure out how to classify that. The only solace I have is that since 2004 I've had a video shown at AX in one form or another every year (if you count last year's Iron Chef video).

Whoah. I stand corrected. :shock:

You would have been up against Kevin Caldwell in 1999 and 2000. :uhoh:

1999 I was up against Engel and Caffine Encourium. So figure what my odds were then when it's also a video i'm too ashamed to show. That was also the one and ONLY year that AX had creator judging. Ask anyone that was there, it was a terrible but hilarious mistake.

Actually the funny thing I remember from that yeare was seeing an Eva video to Pet Shop Boy's It's a Sin (I still have that video somewhere) that had just quick beat synching at the beginning (shot between 01 and Shinji in cockpit) on the first four beats back and fourt. That REALLY impressed me back then and I thought I'd never be able to pull something that looked that good off at all. . . and it was just beat synching.

My very first AMV went up against him in 1999. Did pretty well too, or so the coordinators told me.

My record: Made two AMVs, both of them were shown, one of them won the category. Haven't made anything long since then though, so I've got no right to gloat. ^^;;;

Well of course you never made anything else, whywould you totaly waste 6 mininutes and 35 seconds of the audience's time again :P :P :P

Ironically, AX was the first con I entered anything into a contest... Was the first time I won someting in a contest... Saw a paper airplane put a hole in the very expensive screen... Expereinced an AMV audience almost turn into a angry MOB... Ahh the good old days

You know what's funny is that before this thread I didn't quite realize just how long I've been editing, it's been practically 11-12 years now. Which means I've been editing since I was 15 or 16. Damn, there's even a mention of one of my first two amvs in one of my old high school yearbooks.
