I really wish i could have been there ... (snip)

I really wish you were there as well, everyone loved the vid. In fact, I had the Dean of the Art Institute of Dallas come up to me and personally complement your video.

Congratulations to you and all of the other creators who won, and a huge thanks to everyone who submitted for making this an incredible year.

awww thats awesome XD
thanks for telling me
;_;

[Elgebar]

(snip) ... sorry for the problems

It was no problem at all. In fact, we really like the video. It's exactly the kind of thing we want to see...we just didn't expect to get a music video submission with only live action footage.

Well done vid, and thanks for sending it in. Because of you, I am going to modify the categories next year so that this kind of material has a place in our events.

Thanks again!

I would have loved to have been there to, just to see the collective WTF expression from the audiance. lol

You're very welcome and keep them coming in. Because of you guys, there is a high probability that next year we will have some very special items for our winners. I'm not going to comment on anything yet because it is still too early, but the initial outlook is good.

Actually, it went over very well. Just a small surprise. However, if I'm not mistaken we had another submission with alot of live action in it too. Too bad I can't quite remember who sent it in.

Grats Judge!

[Mamo!]

Yays! Grats to all the winners!

Yays! Grats to all the winners!

Nice job this year, SenshiMamoru. Well done. Look for your trophy and certificate in the mail. (I'll be sending last year's with it too)

For everyone else, make sure your current address is in our system and I will mail the winner's items out before the end of the month.

um, wow, I'm speechless... I'm totally floored that my vid did so well at A-kon!
woot!

Congrats to all the other winners as well!

Judge Congrads on your win, let me just say also that your hentai ssubmission was probly the best edited video there, but it was more fanservice than hentai. And when you got a crowd of horny porn craving fanguys and girls the last thing you wanna show em is something without any porn in it. I was dethrowned but it title stays in the family. Shining Finger FTW.
besides you didnt want the first place trophy anyway, atleast i hope not

Congrats to the winners! Can I ask what they've won?

And also could someone tell me how the judging process went? I mean fans' choice - is that with a applaud-o-meter or random judges from the crowd?

[JaddziaDax]

last year fan's choice was a balot, everyone recieved a pencil and a balot before walking into the room... then they were collected as they left..

i would assume it was the same this year... O.o
