So what I'm going to help do is make sure theres a dialog on each of the contests we have to make clear its direction.


Expo: You send lots of videos that are too cool for Pro because the haters would just ignore them.

Pro: This is for AMV Ballers only. If you manage to win more than two awards without vote tampering or being an AMV org celebrity then you automatically win the title "tha chosen one"

Just trying to help with any brainstorming that's going on. ^_^

Professional: For the videos that would go over better with other editors than with general con audiences.
Masters: The best work you can produce -- it's for the jacket!
Exposition: Everything else you edited since last year's AWA.

Expo: All the normal pieces of shit you made through the year

Pro: The worst of the worst that you made, the video that not even your mother can sit through and say something nice about. After all, if you don't take advantage of a captive audience then no one will see it. There is an allowed sub-genre of shit that is made to be intentionally shit because you hate all other editors and want to make them suffer.

Masters: Pretentious artistic crap of a bird flying or something trivial like that which you think makes you look deep. Then you can feel humiliated when a fairly straightforward action vid wins.

Would I have to resend my MEP showing proposal or wait for Matt to get his online access back?

The threads of people whining they didn't win are the self expositional cries of help, not the videos themselves.

ah.. so does that mean that last post was dropping what you think other people are saying, and not what you're saying? :book:

If Godix didn't enter Masters in 2007, then there's your answer.
