I'll have some of Studio Gaijin's videos on CD or maybe even DVD's to hand out.
I hope lots of people will have there work to hand out.
I would love to see other people videos.

I will be at the convention, and I will have some CDs of my stuff to hand out as well. Not sure how many at this time. I have AX two weeks before and will see how many I give out there.

Yeaaaaaaah.... A place to host the party would be nice. ^^;; Well, we need to come up with a place for this thing, and the sooner, the better.

Does anyone know what day the contest is? I'd assume Friday or Saturday. Last year, it was Saturday, but then, there was no Friday for the con last year. Logic would dictate that we should all meet up at the contest and take it from there.

Oh yeah, I'll be bringing some CDs too, but only of my latest three music videos.

I'm guessing that the contest will be on Friday. Then again, you probably shouldn't rely on that...[/quote]

Shoujo-con

I've heard the contest will defently be on Friday. However what time, I do not know. I wonder if we can find out the finalists before hand. I want to see if my video was cut due to content.

anneke: If last year is any indication, we won't know what videos are in the contest until... we get there. Last year, well before the AMV contest was even to be shown, they had a pretty large canvas / board thingie with a large poster on it listing the videos, in order to be played (creator, anime, song, etc). outside the room where the contest was going to be played.

Then again, Shojoucon is a (relatively) small con. Your video may be an exception to the rule due to its content, but the general rule for Shojoucon the last two years is that if it even remoately involves some kind of shojou element, it's in the contest (regardless of "quality," because of the small number of entries).

Of course, this year... we don't know how many people sent submissions. I'm sure it's going to jump up from last year's 13 videos and five or six non-competing entries... but I still don't think it'll be a ridiculously large amount (knock on wood).

Content

Well my video is rather... 'adult' / Yaoi. Machine called it highly disturbing, when he watched it for the Mindwarp contest. It's defently shoujo, just maybe not PG-13.

My other video I entered is borderline Shoujo. So I don't know if it will make it or not. It's a Shonen anime I used, but the theme of the video is the Shoujo/love story. However it still has a bunch of Shonen action.

If that's the case, then you shouldn't have a problem. The rules state that you can use shounen, as long as it presents some kind of love or shoujo-centered theme.

Here's my problem: my video uses a shoujo anime, but it focuses on a male character. I hope that's OK...

Male in Shoujo

Postby anneke » Tue Jul 02, 2002 3:22 pm

I think you're video will be fine... I'm trying to think about a Shoujo series that has a male lead.... But something like a video focused on Tuxedo Mask or such would deffently be Shoujo. Oh... Marmalade Boy... That's about Miki and Yuu, it's from Miki's point of view, but an AMV done to just Yuu would be just as well. I don't think you're video will have a problem. It may do even better with the large number of fan girls in the room.

<crossing fingers about my yaoi video>

p.s. I can't wait to see everyone again.

Meri: I definitely think your video will be ok. What do girls like to see at a con based on shoujo anime/manga? Bishounen of course. So, since your video is based around a bishounen character then you should have no worries about getting into the contest. Infact, I think it'll increase your chances of winning. :wink:

Shoujocon is SO confusing. Their guidelines for what makes a Shoujo video last year were... lacking. But judging by what won last year, I don't think there's anything to worry about.

I'm just upset that they didn't want my Fight Club/Dragonball Z video. I mean, Fight Club? It's sort of about the relationship between two guys, right? Kinda Yaoi there I think. Maybe... And Dragonball Z? Come on. That's SO shoujo. But... They'll probably like yours.

Also, I have heard that the contest is indeed Friday night, but I don't have a time. Our AMV panel should be Saturday morning/afternoon, but I also don't have confirmation of that. *sigh*
