It's the same as the concept of "selling out" or "artistic purity" ... to some at least. If you want to be less cynical about it all, you can think of it as wanting to challenge yourself instead of "going for the easy win" or somesuch. It's no different than challenging yourself to use a genre you're not that good at or a song you don't like.SailorDeath wrote:I always found it funny how some creators like to think if you made a video that specifically targets the audience and gets them worked up is cheating. I always care more about whether people like my videos or whether it got a good reaction to the audience instead of winning a prize. Sure, I still would love one, but I don't get too butthurt if I lose.Vlad G Pohnert wrote:
When I select Videos for any of my AMV Blocks I do at cons, of course the criteria is different (I must take the audience into account), but even though I see the creator's name on a video, or I love the music or Anime, I try to pick regardless of my personal preferences of what will be best for the block and the audience will enjoy in some form or another. Hence I try to judge "Blind". I really wish I could watch a lot more to try to get the gems out there, but that quite impossible due to the shear volume.

Re: The AWA 2013 Video Review Thread -- Now with more con dr
Seems the con dramas kinda killed the reviews in this thread was kinda hoping to see more people say how much my amv sucked but oh well.
Anywho, tomorrow we should be seeing the final voting. I'm excited to see which ones made it. more importantly Once voting is done I wanna see how accurate my predictions are on who made what. I'm fairly certain I know which ones l33tmeatwad, Todd and Koop made. Best of luck to everyone who gets nominated!

Re: The AWA 2013 Video Review Thread -- Final Voting Is Upon
Okay. Finally done. Here are my reviews. It should be noted that I am extremely jaded and cynical and am more than happy to take godix's role as the one who can never be satisfied with anything. So I'm sorry, hope none of you are too offended.
Additional note: I've no idea who any of the editors are - I have guesses, but reading through this thread it looks like there was concern over stacking votes, etc. I have no idea who edited what, so these are my honest, unbiased opinions. Also, I didn't rate the hentai videos because I didn't watch them for personal reasons.
