Sorry about that, the web Crew is kinda slow this year. But don't get mad with them sometimes people just get busy.

I have posted at the head of this thread the rules as well as on the fanime forums. Thanks for wanting to participate.

Fanime is back again? Didn't I just submit to that con like a year ago?

Joking aside, I'm working on some new stuff so yeah, I'll be sending that out in a couple weeks..

A good AMV makes it look fun
A great AMV makes it look hard
However, the best AMVs make it look impossible

Awesome, I look forward to seeing what you come up with but be sure to read the rules as they are different this year.

Just to be safe can you please post the finalist list ahead of time before the con? You know to avoid the huge issue that we had last year. Not to be a jerk or anything about it, but coming 6 hours to a contest with the intention that you thought that you were in but isn't, wasn't exactly my cup of tea. :|

I'm seriously looking forward to the contest this year. Got my vid encoded, getting ready to send. Out of curiosity, why is the frame rate required to be 29.97? I did my videos this year with source footage encoded at 23.98, so re-encoding caused some ghosting/jittering. What equipment will the amvs be played through?

Assuming you've got a 23.976fps master, you should be able to just apply the script function ADTelecine() that comes in the AMVapp to get it up to 29.97fps interlaced with no ghosting or jittering.

I'm just about to send in my video and I was hoping I could get some clarification, is the Fanime contest only for videos that follow the mashup theme?

Yes, The videos submitted must follow the mashup theme.

"Now however you visualize the theme is up to you."

This not unlike Discovery channel or VH1 or Spike TV asking for submissions for a contest but they must follow certain criteria. Our Criteria is Mashup this year. Good Luck.

I have a feeling that you won't get alot of videos that fall into such a 'theme'. What happens when/if you do not get enough videos that follow the 'theme' to create a contest? I know I sent in my videos that are just more your traditional type videos.

In the past I have had a theme but no one tried to use it. This year I'm enforcing the theme requirment. If I don’t get enough to make a contest and by contest and enough I mean that they need to be good AMV's and enough means that there is fair competition, then I'm going to have to cancel the contest. Even without the theme requirement across the board at many conventions they are cutting the AMV's out.

Now a cancelation will only apply to this year and not be a for good kinda thing. Sometimes the economy and life catches up with people and they can’t make it "it happens". I cannot force you to participate and make AMV's like your life depended on it.

This will give me a chance to go to my higher ups in Fanime and DEMAND more money For PRIZES as well as advertising and so on. You, the entire AMV community make works of art. And like a Van Gough or Rembrandt you should be compensated aside from a dinky little plaque. You should have an award that you want to win, that you try and excel to achieve.

So, if I have to cancel I will. Yes I will be sad, I got W.I.A (San Diego chapter) *women in animation* to judge this years event as well as many students from Art Institute San Diego doing allot of the pre production After Effects Work. And now it looks like a may have to cancel them, but I don’t know there is still 5 Days left everyone could just be putting the final touch's on their entries.

To all who have entered GOOD LUCK, to all who will enter "I’m looking forward to being blown away".

Naturally comedy would have trouble with this contest, and therefore will be free from the theme portion of the contest.


So comedy doesn't have to be mash-up? What, were you afraid of an overwhelming number of hell-style videos? :P

So...I have a question. You just email a text document of all your information? No form to fill out? What if you're not going but have a proxy...?
