Otakon will take place NEXT SUMMER AS WELL !!! so get to work on your videos now so we dont have the same damn problem next year !


deadlines are set for a reason and otakon happens every summer.

stupid.

Yet Otakon's actual time in the year is later and later, while the deadline happens sooner and sooner in the year.

Otherwise, yes. But... no.

Why does everyone keep on saying this?

Last year, the con was right at the beginning of August.
The deadline was May 8th.
Until we got an extension.

This year, the con's three weeks later.
The deadline was May 19th.
Until we got an extension.

Personally, I don't see the problem here.

The real problem isn't Otakon's fault. It's just bad timing.
Early/Middle May is college finals. Meaning everyone's cramming, and finishing projects, and writing papers.
Those not in college have jobs, and this time tends to be the time for performance reviews, aka: "We're watching you like a hawk so that we can find something you screwed up on and thus give you a bad review".
and also, it's getting warmer, so computers are crashing more. I just made that up, but I'm sure if you look hard enough, you'll find a statistic to support that ^.~

Hell yeah! Im a military videographer and this is the busiest time of the year for my shop. Accually we're busy year round except for late summer (ie august :lol:) So trust me as a videographer: I know what deadlines are for and I was one of the first to ask for an extension. Certain things take alot of time and effort. I love this contest, but unfortunaty my job has to come first. So anyway, thanks again for the extention and sorry if it puts any additional stress on the people running it.

Wow, looks like somebody is dismayed at having additional potential competition in this year's contest :roll:
I have no idea how to use this new forum.

I thought my video wasn't going to get done but now I can work on it for at least another week. Which will give me a comfortable amount of time to finish. That is at least I hope because now I'm coming up with more editing ideas. OMG when will the madness end.


x2 :cry: I stayed up all night to get it ready to ship a few days ago. awell, now I have more competition so the victory will feel sweeter when I win ;p :wink: :twisted: Watch me not even get in the finals....

I am so grateful!! Because I am using a MAC. And I am learning by myself how to make a compression with high quality! I am having very little success. Thank God for the deadline extension. :D :lol: 8-) :P

Sorry for this being offtopic, but what kind of trouble are you having? I also use a Mac, but I think I've had fairly good success at high quality compression. Any way I can help?
