Finalists for Anime Expo Anime Music Video Contest 2008

[Hika Yagami]

Hello all,

After getting home last night at 6ish and passing out in bed at 6:30p I finally woke up about 10am. Yeah my sleep schedule is borked.

I will be putting together the "official" winners announcement/post this evening when I am at work and will be posting it here as well as the official ax forums and the AMV list.

To all of you thank you for entering as well as your support and input along the way.

Among the preliminary things being discussed by Anneke and myself for next year, PG-13 is very likely goin buh-bye, and this will be the last time I let Encore automatically determine the layer break on the disc. I am pretty sure that is why Dianna's video stuttered like it did. I am deeply sorry Dianna. It didn't do that on the PS2, PS3, Apex AD 1500 or the Pioneer DVL 919 I have here at home. The unit they have at Nokia is a "fresh off the boat from China" Helios upscaling player. ) It also didn't seem to like the High bit rate I encoded the disc at. (the red flash frames in Nils' videos I suspect was from that.)

I anticipate writing a longer post tonight.
OH and the most submitted anime was Full Metal Alchemist with Ouran High School Host Club and pretty close second. there were very very few DBZ at all. I think Rider G's Angels and Demons and one of the two YTMND videos submitted were the only ones submitted.

That's okay. I was a little dissapointed but at least my 2nd video played just fine. My mom was kind of mad though(she was watching it that night too). But a lot of people are watching the whole thing on the org and my Youtube account and they told me that they liked it and that's all that matters.
