I was a little disapointed in the Trigun one, I thought it could have been done better. Mostly because I had the same idea for a while, and the creator just didn't live up to it completely to the vision I had in my head. I felt it could have been stronger.


Could have been stronger? Howso? I've actually gotten that response by a few people but nobody ever tells me "how" .

I really hope people don't say "You need more effects and faster cuts" because thats what I was stearing away from. I didn't want people to be star-struck by purdy effects. I wanted them all to catch the meaning , or "Theme", of what I was trying to portray.

However, if its the certain scenes I was showing, which better scenes should I use? I was pretty confident that the scenes I used portrayed my theme of conflict with Vash.

I'm not being sarcastic, I'm trying to figure out why I get this response every time but nobody answers why. ::begs:: I wanna become a better creator, Help me the Org-won-kenobi, yer my only hope......

Actually That probably sounded harsher than I ment it to be, Specifically, I had higher expectations of it just from seeing the anime/song choice. I think it had more potential than you took advantage of. I'd have to see it again to specifically pick out what bothered me about it, But I beleive it was a combination of scene choices and in some areas I felt editing could have been tighter. Don't get me wrong, it was still a nice video overall, just not quite what I was expecting, and I felt some of the other videos in the category were stronger. I'll try to give a real opinion on it later when I am able to download it, to give you a better idea. But it is just my opinion. aparantly the audience felt diferently, since you came in second ;p

All the videos I felt deserved to be in the finalists though. Though they were "Fun" videos, the last 3 entries to comedy did feel weak in comparison, as far as humor goes, just going off of audience reaction to them on the friday block. I did particularly enjoy Hale's mom though. I need to check out that series.

I've seen plenty of "no-names" win awards and make impressive videos. In fact, your videos and that of other foreigners (istiv I believe is in France?) is really starting to make me realize how much talent is outside of North America.

Well, I'm not afraid of names, but I know that those names can do very well :)
And yep, the AMV scene in Europe grew instantly in the last years, here are pretty much large contests, various communities and studios etc.
We are coming to get you :twisted:

As far as studio names go, I give up. Even after I told John that I wanted my "studio" name to appear on the screen, it never happened.I guess it's for the best. Things happen for a reason. Ill just stick with my full name from now on.

It's kinda ironic. It was at Otakon 2003 where I first saw my full name up on the big screen, in all its long and clunky glory, and decided right then and there that, from then on, I'd be sure to include my handle whenever submitting.

I sent mine in this year as Scintilla in an effort to avoid what happened last year... and what comes up on the title screen?
"Scintilla, Peter J. Tom-Wolverton".

Sheesh.

Yeah it's the long version. That's all I could find...or rather Ashyukun could find. I figured you trimmed it. I'd be interested in a copy since you're right, the end is..odd.

Yeah, all I could find was the full version- I didn't think to grab the video and extract the audio. :P I wouldn't mind a full wave copy of the trimmed version- and it wouldn't really be illegal since I just ordered a copy of the CD it's from. ;P

I've seen a list, but I'd rather a contest coordinator post such "official" results since the list I saw *could be* wrong and it'd suck to have false information running around.
