So, would any of you say that being one of the last videos shown is a disadvantage?

As far as I can see, it's only a disadvantage if you're stuck following a video that's a lot better than yours... at least that's the impression that I get.

Not really. Especially since the order they show them in is order of increasing popularity of the category, if that makes sense.
I have no idea how to use this new forum.

Yeah, that's done so that people want to stick around to the end of the contest.
I know there are a lot of people that arn't too big on the Drama and Romance of the earlier videos.

So it doesn't nessessaraly mean that order of finalist on the list has anything to do with popularity, does it?

Bah, I had that duty last year...and yeah it was pretty damn nerve-racking "opening the show" or whatever. Glad I'm not doing it again ;).

Hmmm. So if Aluminum Studios' vid is #1 and Orange Productions' vid is #8, then I am the 4th most popular vid in Drama! Maybe I'll get at least "Honorable Mention"

I think you're misinterpretting. He meant in category. He says that specifically above. The order in which videos are played in a category has nothing to do with "popularity." The event hasn't even taken place and thus no one has placed their votes.

He meant that the "least popular" category is going first. That would be Romance. The most popular would go last. That would be Comedy. This is a smart way to do things since it means people will stay through the videos to see comedy.

And keep in mind, that wouldn't be the most polite thing to do. I mean a pre-ranking? That'd certainly affect the results of the contest imo.

Either way, glad to clear that up. Wouldn't want anyone thinking "Oh dear, I'm #8 in my category :(."
