Double post, sorry X.X but as TC said, lack of editing butt

Well, honestly, can't be 'fair' since I didn't watch EE's vid until the end, I saw logos, I was like 'he's dismissed' and I closed the video.
I mean, seriously, it's R2 and I didn't think such a thing wasn't important to keep being in the contest... Though somehow it's also a good thing that having logos doesn't mean it's the end for editors, it kinda gives beginners more opportunities to concentrate more on 'concrete', 'actual' editing skills rather than things preparing footages.

So basically : I don't want to seem elitist but yeah, it's strange to see a vid with logo not being 3rd (in a 'more serious' contest, it could upset me) though at the same time I'm like 'well if considering everything, it was better, let's deal with it'... I just hope EE's vis is better considering... 'everything'

Guess hard work don't mean crap anymore. Seriously.


Dude c'mon, how demeaning is that to the other guys vid? I can see that you don't agree with the judging, but now you're putting other people down for doing something that they enjoy just because you didn't win? Not cool man.

On the judging thing, this is as I always say about AMV contest judging. JUDGING IS COMPLETELY SUBJECTIVE. This is a lesson I learned early on in this hobby. When you compete there is no sure thing. Just because you know how to do a little masking and FX doesn't mean you're automatically the better vid. Trust me, as one FX editor to another, ya gotta roll with the punches and not get a big head about how much work on the technical side that you put into a video because as far as each judge is concerned; one may see your hours of masking and FX as an incomprehensible mess, while another judge would be in awe at the perfection and sleekness of each little detail. In this case it didn't work in your favor. Be the good sport you were in your first post and pay respect to your fellow competitors and the judges.

Easy for you to say this. You weren't the one that lost to E.E.'s video. I'm not one to rage or get upset normally, but so far, every person who has posted said mine was the better or thought I was gonna win. Say what you just said when this happens to you.

My will to edit is shattered. I seriously don't see the point anymore. Either way, I left this on a good note in my post before this. I just hope the decisions being made are in the right.

Gratz to the winners. And I hope you go far.

Well, in any case TC, a judgement is only a judgement, it doesn't mean you're bad or else.
See the good point : now you won't have to edit for a week to a song that you think it sucks :rofl:

Work on your own projects and come back showing how good editor you are ^^

I've done resigned myself as Coordinator for CascadaThon 3. And abandoned all my other projects for the time being. I actually liked editing to these songs. Gave me a chance to edit to somethign I normally wouldn't.

I just don't see the point in editing right now. I'm really upset.

I retract my previous post.

I was fine with the first comment as I could understand, but after those other degrading comments were dropped, I lost any and all respect I had for you, TC.
I expected better from a fellow Org editor, but I guess I was wrong. :sweat:
I am just disappointed now too that this came from my group. :(
On behalf of everyone in my group, I sincerely apologize for his behavior. *bows*


On a different note, congrats to everyone, and to those who are moving on. You all did your best and turned out great work. :D
Now I really can't wait til next year to get back in here and really have a blast, win or lose.

I actually thought E.E's video was slightly better, to be honest. >.> Yeah, some of the flashes were unnecessary. Yeah, the quality and the watermarks wasn't awesome. That didn't completely kill the video though. He had a pretty clear message in his video and the bridge was pretty cool.

I didn't really see any sort of theme in TC's video, and those random lip syncs really hurt the beginning. That and you mixed slice of life scenes with Higurashi, of all animes. I don't think I need to say more. >.>

And then Yue waved the no more drama for she is exhausted and wishes to sleep wand.



But seriously, if this goes any further with the rantin' and the raving then I'll have to take action. I do not wish to do that. When everyone signed up for this competition they agreed that the judge's rulings were final. End of story. It's in the rules.

Article 5: Agreements
8.1 Each participant hereby agrees to that he/she is the sole and exclusive author and does not violate directly and / or indirectly any third party rights.
8.2 Each participants understands that if they violate any of the previously stated rules, they will be disqualified.
8.3 Also, by participating in this contest, you agree that the decisions of the contest organizers and the judges are FINAL.

If just a few words it what it takes for you to lsoe respect for me, then you never really had any respect for me regardless. I'm hurt, upset and just overall bewildered. Keep in mind MasterZero that I almost never rage and you shouldn't expect this from me all the time.

I would have been equally as mad had Lopez been beat out by E.E.'s video. I'm not upset that I lost. I'm upset that my obvious hard work just got thrown out the window and basically got spit on.

Either way, I'm sorry about my previous posts and wish the best of luck to E.E. and Lopez in the group A finals.

Again, I apologize for my previous posts. It was uncall for. I apologize for bringing drama in and will refrain from any further flaming.

I wish the best of luck to E.E. and Lopez in the Group A Finals.

Good Luck Guys :) :up:
