See you there? I'll be the one in the black Aquiline Studios T-shirt (the image on it is the same as my avatar).

Man, I wish I could be there. I was planning to go tomorrow, but a sudden onset of car engine trouble put an end to that. Oh well.

All right, nobody else has done it yet, so here's the unofficial list of winners:

Judges' Award: Ijexis's FF7:AC video which does not appear to be up yet
Trailer/Parody: Drewaconclusion's <a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... 190">YTMND AMV</a>
Romance: Dragon/Roy's <a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... 34">Eureka Seven video</a> (dude, sorry I missed you, but I was looking for a hat saying "Dragon/Roy" and never saw one)
Action/Upbeat: Jubjub2's <a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... 59">Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger video</a>
Drama: Scintilla's <a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... ">Princess Tutu video</a>
Comedy: I don't remember who made this one, but it was the TMoSH video to "Girlfriend".

I felt that there were a good deal of videos this year that, while they may not have had the strongest concepts, still demonstrated a great deal of promise in their creators. A lot of people showed clearly that they knew a thing or two about such things as synching and keeping synching interesting. Cases in point: the Nerima Daikon Brothers video (lots of fun), the Chrono Crusade video (would have been awesome with less lip synching), the Slayers video (would have done very well in Upbeat)...

Is this the part where I say "Congrats to all the winners", or are we supposed to save that for when VegettoEX posts the official results?

I am still deeply surprised that I even got an award(i was jumping in my seat like a fanboy when I saw my name on the screen, being my first con entry and all XD)
Still kind of bummed the audio just failed on my vid about 10 secs in on Friday

they got it back, but alas it wasn't quite the same. Anywho, I thoroughly enjoyed watching the vids. I will be uploading my entry as soon as I possibly can...and I will make sure to write out a script to explain the story if some people didn't complete understand.

Oh and I completely missed you Scintilla, never saw the shirt, or I just wasn't being very observant...

Oh, and congrats to all the winners

Ha! Jubby! (can I call you Jubby? know what, I shall!)
When I saw your vid on the ballot, i told my friend, "I saw that. She's winning the Upbeat for sure."
Then I saw Scintilla's name in the same Category as mine and I told him, "...now I'm sad" XD
Even though we didn't even get to drop off our ballots, completely forgot until the Cosplay Masquerade had started XD

Thanks for the shout-out. :3

I was thinking about the Upbeat category, but I didn't think the song and editing style I used would've fit. Congrats to everyone!

I had fun at the con and also happens to be more fun here than at ICON, that's for sure. I saw the AMV contest and I was seeing some great videos although there were a couple of others that I could barely stay awake for. Anyway, congrats to the winners and it was especially tough for the Drama category, there were two or three videos that I really like.
