Actually, we have a list of the names of all the AMV participants. We reserve a couple of the rows near the front every year and this year should be no different.

And for the record, we have 90 entries this year. The final count is 4 premiere, 16 open, 44 novice, 15 challenge, 9 exhibition and 2 with no entry forms.

AN2005 Tentative AMV schedule

Postby Initial B » Tue May 24, 2005 8:21 pm

Rather than make a new thread, I thought I'd ressurect this thread to announce the tentative schedule for the showing of the Music Video Competition events at AN2005.

7pm Thursday - the pre-con party where we will show the exhibition entries.

9-11:30pm Friday - We will show the Premiere, Challenge, and Open videos (hopefully in that order)

11:30pm-2am Friday - The AMV Creators Party. As last year, this is an event for the creators (+1 guest) to get together and gab about the event and talk shop. We've managed to secure the con-suite this year and we'll probably be allowed to order pizza, wings, donuts and other munchies. We'll also have a DVD player available so creators can critique each other's videos as well as discuss what went right (or wrong) with the event this year, changes that we could make for next year and new possibilities for the challenge category.

9am-10:30am Saturday - Novice Entries: The Rest

10:30am-12noon Saturday - Novice Entries: The Best (Sorry, but with the amount of novice entries this year we didn't want to force people to sit through three hours of video without knowing which ones the judges thought were better than some of the others.

3pm-4:30pm Saturday - The Finalists: This will be the entries that the judges felt deserved an honourable mention or higher. It's an hour of the best entries of 2005 from all categories and will be topped off with the awards ceremony at the end. I would like to get all the finalists onto the stage at the end for a round of applause from the attendees.

1pm-5pm Sunday - The AMV Competition Repeat: For those who couldn't get enough or missed some the first time around, we'll show all the entries (save the rest of the novice) one more time: Exhibition, Best Novice, Challenge, Premier, Open, and Finalists.

Well, the con is almost upon us. I look forward to seeing you all there.

Ganbatte!

Only four Premiere? Now I worry I should have put myelf in the lower category. ><;; It's so hard to judge yourself.

Thanks for the schedule (tenative as it is)- it takes a lot of stress off, knowing whats more or less going on when.

And the after-party is back- Great! I hope I see more people there this year.

Does anyone here know if they're going yet?

Are you kidding? Of course there will be more people - we had almost 100 entries! And since when has any con-goer turned down free food? :lol:

Hmmmm.

Interesting schedule. I do have a question though. I might not want to sit through all the novice vids, however my long one is in that category. Would it be possible for me to know ahead of time if it is in the "best" showing or the "rest" showing? Or do I have to sit through all of them?

And I am not sure about my friend as he might have to drive a lot of people home while I don't, but I will be attending the AMV party this year ^_^

Free food is a powerful draw. ^^ I just hope I'm not the only one talking this year. I'd never met a shyer/quieter group of people at the last one. :lol:
