Well, all entry details are under the "Contests" section of the Sakura-Con 2003 website. We will be screening at least 40 AMVs and attendants will be able to vote on their favorite AMV in each category. The winners will be announced at the Sunday Closing Ceremonies.

I will be posting the screening list on the Saturday after the contest. Winners will be posted Sunday evening. Awards will be mailed on Tuesday (if needed). I will have the results posted here on a-m-v.org first and I will give the Sakura-Con webteam the results for them to post as soon as they can on SakuraCon.org.

Hey, thanks for your interest, it should be an awesome screening!

I'm morbidly curious if Paul Dostal submitted an OAV yet.

* blesses his copy of Vegas Video to get him through the next two weeks.

I wasn't going to submit to Sakura-con since I obviously can't go...Ohio is mighty far from the west coast. I was going to try for ACEN where my 80's video was going to premiere for a con...but since I am not using that one for any OTHER cons....why not?

I hope Sakura-con people like 80's music :D

Hmm... Just checked the submissions database and that name doesn't come up...

Who doesn't like 80s music?! :D

BTW, we encourage creators that will not be able to attend to participate. We will be mailing any awards/prizes to creators who are not in attendance (unlike Anime Expo, I think that A.D. is still waiting for his awards)... :roll:

Can you believe he actually won an award a few years ago? The "Cheeze Award", or something like that. His vids are always fun in a B-movie sort of way.

BTW, I just started using Vegas last weekend on my latest project. I like it a lot, even though it's only version 2 (got it cheap last summer since it was out-of-date and in a damaged box). Very easy to use: I completed about 70 secs in a few hours this afternoon (only two layers, but some moderately complex overlays).

The only thing I'm missing vis-a-vis Premiere is handling sequential still images. I think the later versions of Vegas do this, however.

I was there when he won it. Tristan McAvery actually ran out to a Safeway to get the Cheese Log for the award.
The Ed Wood of homegrown fan-anime, that's the phrase I use. I wouldn't mind him so much if he made a more serious attempt to get better--his second "giant robot teamup" video was a step up from the first(while remaining delightfully cheesy), but the third went back in the gutter along with the first.

Vegas 3 is my new Personal Jesus(TM). Insanely fast workflow once you get used to it, native MPEG-2 import, and SMP-aware.
So much in that my problem is getting into the mood to compose the video; I need to watch From Hell and Halloween again to get back in the spirit.

That's a fact...yesterday I needed only 15 minutes (give or take) to post and synch about 100 still pic's. Wish I'd had this two years ago.
