Assuming the remaining laggard judges send in their ballots soon, Vlad and I will have the preliminary results on Sunday night. There's still some final vetting to be done (for instance, we do a more thorough check to make sure the selected finalists conform with the freshness rule, among other things), but if we get that done quickly enough, we might announce then... ...or we might announce later. 8-)

I really don't think I have a shot at getting in but I'd rather know before I go on vacation.


You never know. I find that people's tastes can be quite surprising. Heck, there's several vids in this year's batch that I thought would be sure fire best of show candidates, and yet the judge results so far seem to be revealing that I have bad taste. (SakuraCon was the same way...)

Oh, and in case I hadn't mentioned, we've got practically an all-star cast of judges this year. It's up to them if they want to reveal themselves, but most of them of them are either an award winning AMV veteran (non-competing) or a coordinator of a respected AMV competition.
(The others are homeless dudes I bribed with a bottle of Wild Turkey and a VHS copy of LA Blue Girl.).

So the takeaway here is to make videos xstylus probably won't like |:>

LOL Troy, yeah I can attest to the "Oh wow this is a good video, it should do good... well damn, maybe not"
Granted my tastes seem to differ from what seems to be the majority of the editors now a days.

He likes the ones with good compression, proper AR, no fansubs or watermarks and aren't in a .wmv container.

So Real Media format is preferred over Windows Media? :ying:

Nobody made the finals and all the videos have been replaced with Pauly Shore movies.

Fixed. Often enough there have been instances in contests where the AMV I voted for didn't win, or it will end up getting runner-up. But then I wonder if I look for certain things as an editor that the audience doesn't. My Best in Show choices are usually spot on though, so I guess it's not a total disconnect.

Yikes, "Real Media". Sounds like caveman speak.

Son in Law will start off the action category!

Nuh uh. Not tellin'. :P

However, the judges aren't always perfect either. One video in a prior year got in by the most ridiculously slimmest of slim margins (if I remember correctly, it barely made the cutoff when three vids above it ended up DQ'd or recategorized, plus there was like a 0.001 point difference between it and the next vid)... ...and it did extremely well.
