Since there's less volume and no contest pre-screening involved, we can set the deadline for trailers (and commercials, eyecatches, whatever) a month before the convention, which I guess would make it around the Fourth of July. Let's say that trailers have to be received by Sunday, 2003.04.06.
As soon as I'm able to, I'll put a submission form up on the otakon web site for people to use.... We'd like trailers to be on VHS/SVHS tape so that the MAT3K guys can edit them into the screener tape easily.
For people who don't know about this, the guys at Mystery Anime Theater 3000 pick a couple of the funniest trailers/commercials/eyecatches that Otakon receives each year to play between the two halves of the MAT3K movie to give their arms a few minutes rest.
We're going to be putting together a screening tape of trailers both old & new to show as the first thing to kick off Saturday evening's fan parodies at Otakon 2003.
