I realize you said that, but you were making it sound like only ONE person submitted a video that had won before and acting all angry about itSailorDeath wrote:l33tmeatwad wrote:Umm...there are more than 1 that won other contests...in fact, 3 of them have won other contests.SailorDeath wrote: I'm sure that number would be higher if someone dedicated more time to it than me.

I'm not going to judge them any differently for their file sizes. But since you insist, you may have all the table flips for yourself.ngsilver wrote:I will take the blame for every large file. There was not enough time to re-encode videos submitted for convention viewing quality into a format meant more for online distribution. Many of these large video files are obviously submitted with the expectation of wanting to have the best looking video to play on the screen at the con. These videos often mean encoding using settings that offer less compression then what we are used to for online distribution methods. If there was more time I could have re-encoded them to be better suited for judging just like Quu did last year, but there just wasn't time, so they were all left as is, including leaving both versions of some videos who's editors submitted different versions.Warlike Swans wrote:A Table Flip for every needlessly large file.
So yes, they're all my fault. Don't take the file size out on the editors and their videos, instead I urge everyone to judge them on their own video merits.
Suspects ngsilver is going into the used furniture industry

Nah, I'm not angry if I were angry I'd actually be bitching up a storm, but not on the forums but to the contest organizers in private e-mails. Truthfully, if it's not a rule then they're allowed to do it, which means that while it's frowned upon it's by no means a call for disqualification.

Re: AWA pro thoughts/followups?
Well at least some of the troll videos are newer, as there are a few videos that are upwards of 6 months old...I feel like the stats are much better than last year concerning videos that competed elsewhere before (or were posted online already)...SailorDeath wrote:l33tmeatwad wrote: I realize you said that, but you were making it sound like only ONE person submitted a video that had won before and acting all angry about it
