A-Kon 19 VSE: WINNERS!

Perhaps I should read closer but as i've skimmed through, most of the topic seems to be dedicated mainly to the Experts side of the contest. I'm about the e-mail them to to ask my ranking but....this are my question...

The Amateurs contest was rather awesome to me in general. The showing, that is. There were plenty of great videos and a few less-than par videos, including mine.

What miffs me is the best of show winner. I can't quite wrap my head around how that won compared to the others. I've gone through both legal and illegal ways that may have happened but, then again, we are always subjected to our own views so I could have missed the "awesome" that it was. Could someone explain how that video won of all of the great videos that were there?

Either way, Congratulations to everyone. n_n I'm glad I was able to go to a large convention finally and see the audience's reaction to my and others videos! It was an eye opening experience, both good, and bad.

Was the amateur the Fanworks or the Fan's Exhibition? Oh well, either way I agree the winners were nothing too special in my opinion.

the fans exhibition = amateur

Fanworks = anime related or my disney crap, scob's jdrama crap, Final Fantasy videos, and that awesome Apprentice parody video, the "ads", comedy routines and that 3D thing?

I think the people talking about the Expert's contest are talking about it because that is what they entered.

And not to mention: I totally missed the Fan's Exhibition because I was driving to Dallas at the time.

I believe you are talking about my .Hack G.U. Trilogy AMV. I worked hard on that. Originally, it was in the Fan's Exhibition but was moved to the Fanworks Contest due to the 3D/CG Footage.

I haven't seen the one you entered yet Jaddzia. I plan on downloading all the vids I was up against, so I could see the scope of my competition. I didn't think I was gonna win, as it was my first video entry to any con, anyway, before I go off on a tangent, congrats everyone.

I actually enjoyed it. I bet that the number of people who know that A-kon comes from Project A-ko is rather small.
