Re: AWA pro thoughts/followups?
Was probably going to write up something tonight... But I was wondering if it was kosher to even mention in passing where you had seen things in the past. The intent isn't to harp on the whole "not being a new video to pro" thing, I just want to know if we need to censor stuff that might come up as part of natural conversation.

I would probably avoid it for the off chance that someone who hasn't seen a particular video before may be tempted to go look at the list of videos at any mentioned contests and find the videos.BasharOfTheAges wrote:Was probably going to write up something tonight...

Re: AWA pro thoughts/followups?
So wait, we're NOT supposed to publicly humiliate and swing the vote? What's the point?
It's like you want this to be fair or something

Re: AWA pro thoughts/followups?
So here are some friendly statistics:BasharOfTheAges wrote:Was probably going to write up something tonight...

The intent isn't to harp on the whole "not being a new video to pro" thing, I just want to know if we need to censor stuff that might come up as part of natural conversation.
Pro videos found on the ORG: 11 (19%)
Pro videos that have competed in other contests (Convention or Other): 6 (12%)
Pro videos that have won in other contests: 3 (5%)
I got these results just be searching song, artist and anime used.
The of ones that won awards, there was one that won at 4 other cons. ಠ_ಠ
Course I WON'T name names in these stats. That'll make unmasking folks a bit too easy :Þ

Umm...there are more than 1 that won other contests...in fact, 3 of them have won other contests.SailorDeath wrote:So here are some friendly statistics:BasharOfTheAges wrote:Was probably going to write up something tonight...

Pro videos found on the ORG: 9 (15%)
Pro videos that have competed in other contests (Convention or Other): 4 (7%)
Pro videos that have won in other contests: 1 (~2%)

I'm sure that number would be higher if someone dedicated more time to it than me.

Re: AWA pro thoughts/followups?
I will take the blame for every large file. There was not enough time to re-encode videos submitted for convention viewing quality into a format meant more for online distribution. Many of these large video files are obviously submitted with the expectation of wanting to have the best looking video to play on the screen at the con. These videos often mean encoding using settings that offer less compression then what we are used to for online distribution methods. If there was more time I could have re-encoded them to be better suited for judging just like Quu did last year, but there just wasn't time, so they were all left as is, including leaving both versions of some videos who's editors submitted different versions.Warlike Swans wrote:A Table Flip for every needlessly large file.
So yes, they're all my fault. Don't take the file size out on the editors and their videos, instead I urge everyone to judge them on their own video merits.

Re: AWA pro thoughts/followups?
Since even SD is refraining from associating vid #s with that info, I'll go with the assumption that self censoring of that sort of thing is required (or at least desired).
