is ACC allowed for .mp4 audio?

Also how many are battling it out against Lockstock in IC to try and steal his crown? (he looks so pretty in that pink princess dress with matching tiara :P )

unofficial results because I came in part way through the closing ceremony after ducking off to the pub >.> so some of this "might" not be correct

Drama/romance: oropherzero - possibly the pheonix video (i only saw 2 of your entries action and drama i thought you had a 3rd entry that was also drama o.O)

Audience favourite (best game video as well i think if the category wasn't changed): fizziks - clan warfare! pwnge - there were many audience lol's

Best comedy/parody: Corpse goddess(?) - a death note video of some sort (i only saw it at the closing ceremony and was told canadian chick had won and I'm guessing that's corpsegoddess), i missed the actual screening as i was helping lockstock with his pannel (mostly by choking on the mentos and having the atendees laugh at me going beetroot and having tear streaming down my face for lack of oxygen... and they offered me cough drops)at the same time in a room not in the main theatre. I think this video was moved from the drama category to comedy.

Best action/horror & judges choice: Gothik - by Maximoffzero, Meteor Dragon & myself

Iron Editor (aka Iron Chefu): err... that was me as well >.>, runner up was Jake ... not sure who jake is on the .org


Some noteable entries (that stuck in my mind at least when I wasn't ICing) Life of a dog II by victoria something, I'd like to get a hold of this actually. and a within temptation vid as well... honnestly i don't remember who made it or what it was even called x_x i just remember liking it. I had about 3 hours sleep at the time so err sorry

hmm yeah I would have liked a copy of the WT scrapped princess and the FMA greenday AMVs but I think they are both local entries?
And yeah Clan Warfare completely won the audience over, there was so much cheering that I thought fizziks might have gotten a standing ovation for a moment there XD kudos to you fizziks for entering the vid, always fun to watch something like that with a huge audience.

Finally this pic is a pretty good representation of the audience at the AMV competition because to my surprise, the cosplay audience came back and the AMV competition on Saturday was pretty damn full around me. Maybe just minus the people right up the back past the AV booth.

See nice screening room in the main theatre isn't it? So next year I hope to see more international entries in the contest =)
