RUNNER-UP - BEST COMPOSITION
Awesome. You even got my new studio name up there.
I should say, I was surprised your video didn't take a runner-up in the technical or composition categories at least. Was definitely among my favorites there. Ah well!Haunter103 wrote:I can't add this contest to my vid's details for some reason (It's in the list, but there's no checkbox for it)
Anyways, I had great fun at the con. I'm very pleased that my video played through in full without error. And I know Fall_Child42 was very happy to deprive me of any chance at the Most Original award this time around
The judge I bribed didn't even show up for the voting session. I want my money back >:\Otohiko wrote:I should say, I was surprised your video didn't take a runner-up in the technical or composition categories at least. Was definitely among my favorites there.

My fault, not the editors. We used a projector system, no overscan. Couldn't find anything to prop the projector up the extra but so the bottom foot of the image wasn't going UNDER the screen and being projected into the shirts of the audience in the first row.Scintilla wrote:This demonstrates the value of paying attention to the title-safe region during the editing process.
I'm still trying to figure out why it choked on the AD Police video, that was straight up DivX6, that shouldn't have been an issue.[/quote]Otohiko wrote:The X-box did well for 80% of the stuff, but it really was choking on some of the newer encodings and higher bitrates. Which really turned nasty in a couple of places.
Not my position, but yes, the person who was in charge of that room primarily should have considdered the fact that the AMV contest needed a screen in the center.Otohiko wrote:Otherwise it ran quite well I thought. The audio system was much better than the previous years (if a bit too loud), and I guess besides the playback issues my only qualm would be the positioning/size of the screen. It'd be nice if the contest could get a second screen in that hall, I mean there was another screen there physically but no projector for it...
Yes, the Xbox does actually perform very nicely as a video over IP box, though still a few issues came up that needed to be addressed, but in general they did as intended and were cost effective for the job. That feature will be returning most defiantly. It was also nice to see the little groups arranged around the con watching the Masquerade on the remote TVs as well.Otohiko wrote:PS - nice job on those TVs w/X-boxes in the halls though. That worked really well, you could even see clusters of people around them watching AMV hell when the 'official' showing ended...
