Actually your vid impressed me since I consider that song very cheesy. Mad props on a job well done. Did you know you entered that in action? I felt it was a drama vid since you did not focus on action but the characters instead.

Post acen
Acen is over so I will now do a cut & paste.
Acen was great again this year. Went to several enjoyable panels. Picked up some newtype backissues over at the asahiya bookstore. Enjoyed the fine food over at Kitakata several times. Picked up some megami mags
and some quality artbooks at the dealer's room. The con had another set of JP guests that I wanted to see, so I was very happy. Now if only they could get Keiji Goto in sometime. Why was there a block in the video programming schedule with Cosplay Complex listed as 18+ ?!?! At any rate, it was great to put some faces to names at the con and I enjoyed meeting several people in person. If you have a livejournal and I don't have you down on my list let me know. This was also the first year for Acen's contest that I didn't submit anything due to various reasons but it did allow me to experience the contest and amv activities from a different perspective I think. I was and am still working on the video I did not complete in time so I will make sure to send it to AWA. Now on with the AMV's.
AMV Contest
---------------
Great contest. Everything went quite well and anyone who had complaints about prior years should have been very happy this year. Julius and his staff did an excellent job. Special congrats to Quu as well for his hard work over several years. My personal advice to entrants is to remember that everybody wants to make a drama entry and usually does. There were many great entries but I noticed a terrible trend of people mis-classifying their videos. If you are attempting and/or showing me any segment where you focus on characters, their emotions, or any abstract feeling or theme then you are no longer an action video.
Just thought I'd tag in a few comments below about some vids I really enjoyed. Go check them out if you get the chance.
Thanks for entertaining me
-------------------------------
Cowboy Bebop/EVA MAD OP was executed perfectly.
Gundam 0083 to "Love is a Battlefield" was great overall.
Big O to "Horndog" kept the hits coming consistently for the whole vid.
Now and Then Here and There to "Consequences" had a flaw with the use of the history channel audio but the rest worked good.
Goldenboy to "Unwell" did a great job (I wonder if they read the manga or any other of Egao Tatsuya's works) but please go back and make those overlays with mattes so they aren't transparent (this video is worth all that extra effort).
Metropolis to "Destroy She Said (De Donatis Remix)" was very intriguing and had some interesting transitions I liked.
Cowboy Bebop to the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Theme" was a great WTF video (I certainly hope that was the creator's intent).
Kiddy Grade to "Battle Of Fire (female chours version)" went for the overkill effect. I liked it but not as much as the Big O one since the Kiddy Grade video is was what I like to call sensory overload. Too much speed up, transitioning, and overlay to effectively hold consistent action where the viewer can distinguish what's happening. Plus the biggest downside of this is that you don't see the details since Kiddy Grade like most TV shows is detail > animation frames.

Somehow I take this more as a compliment because I just love such overloaded videos and have fun creating those, hearing that it was like an overkill makes me happy heheh
I guess if you like it or not is a thing of taste which is all good
Thanks for mentioning it, I enjoy to read what people thought at the con

Re: Post acen
Really? Most people thought that was the high point. If you're talking about technical issues, I don't see what was wrong. I ripped it from DVD and used Besweet to convert the .ac3 to .mp3 so it would work with the project. It did disrupt the flow a little bit, but I was aiming more for meaning than action. But you're entitled your opinion, if that is indeed what you're expressing. ^_^outlawed wrote:Now and Then Here and There to "Consequences" had a flaw with the use of the history channel audio but the rest worked good.
