Thanks Vlad. I just got back from the con. And I'm kind of disappointed with what was being posted here on the forum.
Let me explain the Best of Show Award. We had this happen one time before at AMA but was told by other staff that in any contest that a person wins "BEST OF SHOW" Then that means the person has the best video and beats all. It would be redudant to say you WIN COMEDY and you're the best video in the contest. It's to make the contest more balanced. The Saturday screening the Pirates of the One Piece had a big reaction.
Also our judging process. We voted on the videos based off of Org., Lyrical Sync, Beat Sync, Flow, Consistance of Story or Theme, Digital Effects, and Lip Sync. Videos in order to qualify have to get a 7.0 out of 10 or higher to be considered for the finals. We then pick the videos that got the highest scores and put them through. We try to balance the categories but if a category doesn't have enough videos that meet the requirements then we add the next highest scoring amv into the category it goes in. As far as videos being in the wrong category. The editors put down what category they wanted their video in. We used our discretion to move videos if we felt it was necessary. Drama and Action sometimes are hard to seperate. You can have an Dramatic Action video. It doesn't always have to be bang-bang shot'em up or big explosions.
I will have the results posted on the first page here by the end of the night. I have a tournament to go to and I'll give you all the official results.
Thank you to everyone who submitted this year. We all really enjoyed your videos. We had about 400 people Friday due to the early showing and 600+ on Saturday in our Second Main Event's Room where it was standing room only for some people. We have a big show and a new category for 2010. So I'll see you guys around.
