I just make videos for the enjoyment on it and send in something I enjoyed making the most... And If I don't end up with a video done by the deadline, so be it... :wink:

trooth, I've always believed this. I can't edit when it isn't enjoyable. Thankfully, I'm finding more joy in editing again :)


editing only becomes enjoyable for me once I'm close to finishing and start to see the final product. its usually a choore for me to start a vid and get it to that point. And I'm still less than half way done with my Otakon vid.

No rituals realy.... Just edit edit edit, watch anime, read manga, edit edit edit, watch anime, play FF11, read manga, edit edit edit....

Well this is my first year going to and also entering a vid at otakon so i dont really have any rituals. I pretty much just made a video and sent it into Otakon because id like to have something since im goin and i doubt i will make another vid by the deadline.

I guess i pretty much agree with Rozard and Vlad.

I'm trying to visualize how I'm going to win...

Visualizing: Me standing victorious

It's that exact attitude like that, that makes me want to enter something just to squash your entry. Lucky for you I haven't decided yet. =P

Seriously, if you're kidding, you should make an effort to make sure it's clear you're joking.

...and if you're not... I'm sorry I responding at all to a crude and low statement. I hope you are kidding.

...and no my response is not a joke.

I think MZ was basically saying "I have no chance to win <s>make your time</s> unless something like that miraculously happens".

I dunno, I thought it was pretty clear that he was joking.

I think the biggest ritual for many of us this year will be complaining about the fact that while the con itself is nearly a month later than last year, the contest deadline didn't change at all. :?

Yes it did -- last year it was something like May 8th.

Eh...

I guess no one here really loves the simpsons...
Too bad...







P.S. I thought it was pretty obvious I was joking, but I think I do have a chance at getting second place or maybe even first if I'm lucky.

It all depends on which category people are going into. But I watched last year's winner and I think my video isn't too far behind it...

P.S. It isn't a Naruto vid :P

True the deadline was May 8th but it was announced way back in Late November or Early December compared to Late Janurary. So you actually had an extra month or so last year compared to this year. Last year was actually better plus the only reason it is May 19th this year is because Otakon is 3 weeks later this year. So last year you really had more time.

I dont feel like starting a new topic but this is related to otakon so ill just do it here.

The otakon amv contest rules say "Please submit only music videos that have not already won awards or prizes at other conventions' AMV contests. We don't mind it if a music video happens to be submitted to multiple conventions (including ours) all at the same time, but it's bad form to send out an AMV that you know has already gotten prior recognition elsewhere (this practice has become known as "Trolling for Prizes")."

What exactly do they defin all at the same time as. Cuz i already sent in my otakon submission but was wonderin if i could send it into Kunicon. Thats much earlier than otakon, but when i sent in my otakon vid it hadnt won anything. Theres also the fact that i highly doubt i would win at kunicon.

If they receive a video that has won an award somewhere else, they'll check to see WHEN they received the video and compare it to when the video won the other award. If they received the video before it won something, then it's all good. (I had this exact situation last year.)
