N2U 2012 AMV Contest--The Entrants and Winners

Post by EVAR » Thu Nov 22, 2012 1:34 am

Okay. Pardon the delay; I had to overcome a combination of con crud and being sore and tired from helping load out after it was over before I could get to this. So far, this is the contest with the most entries I've ever handled--39. Wow. Here's all of them (plus one bonus) in the order they were shown on Sunday. Links to videos and creators on the Org (and occasionally YouTube) are included where I can find them. If I missed yours, please let me know (and tell me where it is) and I'll fix this. But first, the disclaimers:

"Some of these AMVs contain scenes of violence and coarse language which may not be suitable for all viewers.
This is your warning, soccer moms. Don't say we didn't."

"This Contest Showing also contains: Brief strobing effects; plot spoilers; good and bad music (as always, subjective); mad retro (as in, before you were born); weapons of mass distraction; a carnivorous TV; ideas for Mother's Day; lysergic flatulence; 2D idols (down, boys!); brony baiting (whoa, horsies!); tragical girls; a tanker truckload of blood; MEN!; a video game you'll wish was real; THE UGLY!!!
Guaranteed 100% "Gangnam Style"-free!
Enjoy the show."

A 2-way tie between "Look at It, It's Ugly 2.0" (my video), and "Mother's Day Special" for MOST ORIGINAL. That's cool.

If it's not obvious (because of everything being on one line), that's two awards. Congratulations. Thanks again for entering.
