Yeah. I actually tweaked some things on my video so that it is Otakon ready. I've just sent in the video today, and hopefully Vic can work his magic to make it look good. Afterwards its fate is in the hands of the people watching at the pre-screenings....

Probably taken completely out of context, but that sentence conjures a wonderful-awful idea.

Is there parity (maybe "coherence" is a better word) between the anti-trolling policy and this site's remake/remaster policy? :ying:

I submitted my submission form, but my video won't be in till the 12th (I'm getting help on rendering to Otakon standards and finishing a few things), I hope thats okay!
Also, I used (technically) 4 animes, but I just put Clannad + After Story together, hope thats okay also..

Excited for this year C:

So, uh, I just tried to upload my video through the web-based FTP and my laptop crashed with only about a third of it uploaded. I can't delete the bad copy, nor can I attempt to upload again. What do?

Upload with a different file name (add a 1 at the end or something).

The ftp server is also uploading very slow for me. I hope being 5 minutes late doesn't put me on grounds for disqualification.

So I was about to go to bed last night when I realized "oh my god, my video contains the word 'shat' and I forgot to bleep it out." Should I resubmit my audio with "shat" bleeped out, or is that tame enough to keep in there? It's sort of buried in the music so it's your call. If so, I may use an orchestra hit that fits in the chord because it's a very musically epic moment and I don't want a silly noise in there. *pout.*

edit: Also, sorry for the pointless email with the FTP account questions; one of these days I will learn to read. orz

**edit again: If possible, and ONLY IF it isn't too much trouble, I would actually like to resubmit video along with the censored audio... there was one barely noticeable blip that I thought was unfixable and was willing to live with, but ... I fixed it. The new audio AND video is rendering right now, so please let me know if I should refrain from sending anything... I'm so sorry this is probably a pain in the ass. If it's really too much trouble to change, I'm okay with it the way it is.

I didn't want to wait too long in case it meant the difference between revisions being considered and not being considered... so I'm currently transferring a second video, same title, with the addition of "revised and censored."

Please ignore it if need be. If it does still need to be censored but you will not accept any revised video, I am happy to send along an mp3.

Apologies again for being so scattered... I got married last week, and all my editing projects were put on hold for the few weeks leading up to that, and it's just been crazy.

So, submissions are closed now, correct? Any word on how many entries were submitted, and when we might get news who got in?

Good luck to all entrants!

Do our entries still count if we submitted by the deadline in our own time zone?

The email I got when my video was "tested to play fine" said that finalists should be announced about a month before the con. Keep in mind that last year we didn't know finalists until like 10 days before the convention, though.
