Oh, the joys of A-kon!

I entered two videos in the A-kon contest last year and two more in the showcase for the sole reason that my sister and I had never entered anything before and thought it would be fun to just give it a go. ^_^; The two in the contest that we entered were from Final Fantasy X, and while I got quite a bit of positive feedback from people that saw them, I think that the A-kon crowd leans more towards the comedic videos. My There You'll Be video was painfully dramatic, which is the way we intended it to be, but I don't think the drama was well received. However, I did speak to a group of people afterwards that were raving about "that beautiful Final Fantasy X video with the Pearl Harbor song in it" (which was mine!), so I think it just depends on the people. I wasn't aware that only selected videos made it into the actual contest, so that's kind of something in itself.

My personal advice in terms of submitting is to just go for it - I'm going to submit another Final Fantasy X work this year and just have some fun with it .. because that's what the contest and such is really all about. So don't worry as much about the crowd .. just create something that you're proud of and have fun.

And Jase, if that's you, this is Yunie from the A-kon boards. ^_^;

Its not to much of a hassle unless they dont show your AMV AT THE CONVENTION DURING THE CONTEST, ARGH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *waves fist at the sky. Anyways I was quite satified after I sent mine off last year, if I had only entered Smash Bitches maybe I could have won.

WOW! :shock: This thread was hella old...

Anyways, when you walked downstairs, you needed to go to your right, ALL the way. When you get to that wall at the end you'll see a hall way to your left, if you take that hall way, the AMV room was the first right in that hall way, HUGE SCREEN playing AMVs in there with a bunch of chairs.

We had some trouble finding it as well. I think we had to ask the information helpers where it was and eventually found it. It was listed on the printed con schedules also. Those things are pretty nifty. :D

I just looked for the door that was open and people standing outside it because there were no more chairs. Well that and I saw Machine and MJ seating in the chair next to me, of course I didn't recognize them till they left.

If I remember right, right after the showing I stopped MJ and said hi and then said hi to the others and then went to talk to you but you were making out. The last thing I wanted to do was disturb you so I talked to MJ for awhile and then Steve asked if we could check out the Smash tournament and so I left, expecting to see you at the awards but I slept past them -_-. Well this year only Josh (Josh) and I will be going and we will make sure to hang our with you guys on Saturday and Sunday. Hopefully my Chevelle will be done gettin' painted and customized by then.

Everyone's going to have an a-m-v.org badge thingy, right? With your avatar and forum name? I'm not sure I'd know anyone if you didn't.
When I become an Evil Overlord my Legions of Terror will be an equal-opportunity employer. Conversely, when it is prophesied that no man can defeat me, I will keep in mind the increasing number of non-traditional gender roles.

I am the King of the Easily Entertained.

It is my lifelong goal to make my dieing scream as horrible as possible.

Well in a crowd of 10,000 people its kinda hard to see one little badge. Before hand we will make a get together scheduale or something, we can include pictures as well.

I dunno how Akon does their name tag thing, but I'll put my real and screenname on it.

Dunno if I wanna print out the org badge.
