Re: Zenkaikon 2011 AMV Contest

Post by ReligionX » Mon Feb 21, 2011 8:29 am

The returning judges from last year agree that the quality of the AMVs submitted to Zenkaikon 2011 are overall better than 2009. The judges noticed a trend of wolves, dogs, and the moon in a majority of AMVs submitted. This is totally irrelevant information, but a curious point. Like every AMV Contest I have run, the Sentimenti-Dram-Action genre makes up about 85% of the submissions. The results of the Pre-Screening will be posted on Tuesday evening.

While your scores and technical deductions will not be changed, you are always welcome to, and encouraged to make any technical corrections to your AMVs, up to the week before Zenkaikon. Based on the time allotted to us, we should still be able to receive a few more AMVs for the non-competing, General Screening. I will let you know more on this soon.

The editors who will have AMVs played during the General Screening has been updated, as the General Screening playlist has been finalized. It is still undecided what will be played, if anything, during the AMV Seating.

I will include links to these videos at a later time. Probably by tomorrow, as it takes some time to hunt down these videos. The turnout was lower than I feel was appropriate. There was an unforeseen interruption on Friday where someone in the convention center decided to blast some classic rock for about 10 minutes on the Public Announcement system during the AMV Contest. On Saturday, 40 minutes before the AMV Contest, I was moved to a different room while a panelist took over Main Events; many people didn't know where the AMV Contest was moved to and vice versa. The General Screening was played during the opening hour on Sunday.

This is the finest playlist of AMVs that Zenkaikon has seen, without question. I am honored to have been able to present these music videos. I feel as though it is a failure on my part that these circumstances were not addressed / prepared for ahead of time. I sincerely apologize to all of you, particularly SleepyOwl, who had 3/4 of his AMV interrupted by the audio on Friday. I discounted all votes in the Dramatic / Serious genre from Friday, and only went with Saturday's votes for Dramatic / Serious for this reason.

I will do everything in my ability to prevent these, or similar situations from happening next year. If you would like to know how your video rated during the AMV Contest, please send me an e-mail. Winning editors will have their prizes sent in the mail, using the contact information provided when the AMVs were submitted.

This is directed at the editor who credited the video this way, not at you, but I can't let this one go by:

Quick, don't look at the 4th video in the General Screening. I'm sure anyone can figure that one out though.

To be fair, that was a mistake on my part. She did submit the video with the correct information. I do, however, send confirmation e-mails stating:

Most of the time I get no response. As was the case here.

I don't think I'll change the playlist information. I'd like to preserve it as is.
