Finals General Discussion

[Rider4Z]

I'm bummed by the fact that Dead Moon Masquerade didn't make the finals anywhere.

this, and .

I guess this would also be a good place to give shout outs to other AMVs/editors that missed the VCAs because they didn't upload here. I really wanted to nominate some stuff from Chiikaboom like:

Imagica

In my mind, she would have been a solid contender for Editor of the Year too.

It pains me that I can't vote for Freakshow. I usually don't like such effect-heavy videos, but daaang.

Also, x3 for Dead Moon Masquerade. Kinda surprising considering how many categories it was in, but perhaps that was the problem like Shin said?

[Shin-AMV]

Haha yeah, I think a few categories that I have nominations in is largely due to the result of name recogonition like Safety Dance in Most Original (Should be Dead Moon Masquerade there instead) and Fate Matrix in Made you Watch the Anime/character profile. I'm just glad that Safety Dance was the only video that made best lip sync finals, cause it would have been silly to have something like Mahou Shoujo Requiem, Kitty Cat, and Fate Matrix be there in the finals.

question, why is it called VCAs 2012 when it's for videos made in 2011?

I think its mainly because the event is held in 2012, but I'm not 100% sure if thats the reason though.

Are there videos that I would have preferred be in some places? Naturally. I'm kind of sad that Selfless Regret didn't make it in anywhere, because I really thought it was a quality piece. But that's how the cookie crumbles I guess. But I am happy that Disney MEP II got in. (albeit, Empty Mosiac is still my main choice in this category).

Oh, and DISCO HEAVEN FTW.

I dug selfless regret, should have been a contender.

Before I saw the majority of the MEPs I was pretty set on Empty Mosaic as my MEP choice but then I saw the others and I have to say I found RU.Comix 2 pretty hilarious that its really a toss up between those two for me. Sometimes I lean towards the disney mep, but I find the the difference in quality between the highest and lowest videos in the Disney MEP to be greater in comparison to some of the other MEPs that it pulls down the overall ranking for me. I enjoyed the Sakura MEP and Sol Levante as well, but Empty Mosaic and RU.Comix to me are very well coordinated and put together. EM has a really coherent and coordinated theme throughout while RU.Comix is just surprisingly hilarious even if you aren't hopped up on vodka and borscht

Also, Disco Heaven FTW. Safety Dance is in a bunch of other places and that Judge Holden guy deserves a VCA.

Reading twice the same mistake I was wondering if I made one myself registering the MEP in the catalog but no... Shin, you're not able to write Mosaic correctly

O: Derp. English being my first langauge and I'm the one making a mistake. lol. Well played, sir. Well played.

[TritioAFB]

Lots of videos are underrated

But it's like it's the name what's doing the job.

Anyways:

You didn't expect Ru.comix 2 Shin? When I first proposed it as Best MEP I was pretty sure that it needed more appreciation. I remembered commenting one of the French guys that this time the Best MEP was going to be a kind of versus between EM and Ru.comix, Depending of the result we'll know that

It's going to be funny that someone that has been editing for the last 4 years wins the Rookie of the Year, ironic

[Bill Ein]

My guess on Dead Moon Masquerade is that its pretty hard to categorize it that it was probably getting votes/nominations across the different categories it was in but the votes weren't getting consolidated enough in any specific category to get it to pass through.

I was also surprised not to see Kitty & Galia not in the finals for Editor of the year, they've been pretty busy and have put out a lot of quality stuff.

x3

They were my top choice, little bummed out because they had a great year. Not quite sure who to pick now.

[Shin-AMV]

I know right? I saw them as finalists in pretty much all the contests I entered and they seemed to consistently win/place well so I thought they would be fairly well known. At least they have 3 solid entries in the finals.

I only saw RU Comix in its entirety when it was played during the livestream events. I'm usually not a fan of those comedy collection stuff like AMV Hell or AMV Salad type stuff, but they do have their moments, and was really expecting it to be more like that. After watching it though, I have to say that after the opening sections, it ended up being quite hilarious and had a very consistent high level of editing in it.

[Ikore]

it seems that I'm the only one who is truly dissapointed with

Spoiler :

I should had been around here in january,the best ones, for me, weren´t even nominated:
