The number of the hotline was 1-800-I-FEEL-OK. I think the campaign motto was "It's going to be OK."xDreww wrote:Meaning?Warlike Swans wrote:I'm reminded of OK soda... if only their hotline still existed maybe they could help xdreww.l33tmeatwad wrote:

Re: The Anime Boston prescreenings
Another one that judges. Is the org filled with people who just because their saying there opinion about something, they start to believe that this person is so and so? I'm just saying my opinion, and replying to those who replied to me. You may think I'm sounding butthurt but like I keep explaining...I'm not talking about myself... lolBasharOfTheAges wrote:Stay classy Mr butthurt.

Apparently not, but here's a site with a number of the sound clips anyway: http://home.earthlink.net/~ntareski/ok/sounds.html
They are not nearly as funny as I thought when as a kid... but it should explain the not-very-good joke.

Re: The Anime Boston prescreenings
But seriously guys, xDreww IS right that the audience doesn't vote for the best edited video. Anyone that's gone to a con has seen videos win that probably shouldn't have. Popularity of your source material DOES matter and you'd be a fool to think otherwise. That's not to suggest you "pander" to the audience or whatever, but it is a factor to consider.

This is what I've been trying to say this whole time. Then you guys try to talk about me being this and that? Just please..jokes aside, be mature and actually have a conversation instead of trying to be a wise ass with your stupid jokes. So unnecessary.irriadin wrote:Quoted Image converted to link:

Once again THANK YOU. I think some people tend to act like that when they win cons so much. I see some people already.

Re: The Anime Boston prescreenings
All I'm saying is, if you don't like the way a certain contest is run (or the way prizes are awarded) then you might be better off not submitting to that convention and submitting to cons which DO do judged awards, like AWA's Master's Contest.xDreww wrote:This is what I've been trying to say this whole time.

Audience choice is, and has always has been, this way. Popular songs/anime will get treated better than those which aren't as well known, that is a fact of life - HOWEVER, I have seen it happen that a spectacularly edited video with an unrecognizable song and anime wins out over better known source/songs. See "Hold Me Now" for a perfect example. Such videos are the exception, not the rule, but it can happen.
I think that what it boils down to is a choice on the part of the editor.
If you're making videos for your own enjoyment and just want as many people to see them as you can, then it really shouldn't matter if the audience doesn't vote for it just because you used a lesser known source. If you're happy with your work, and some people in the audience loved it, then you're happy with that result.
If you're in it to win contests, then you need to take the audience into account and use popular footage/songs, OR submit to conventions which judge solely on a technical standpoint.
