Agreed. We demand full armor there, Trythil!! ;)

The anxious feeling I get when I know my video is going to play under such scrutiny with an audience the size of the Otakon is almost the bad kind :shock: It's a relief to have it play in the screenings since I knew it wasn't close to my best when I made it...yeah....at least that's what my therapist would tell me to say...if I had a therapist :wink:


Actually there is truth to that. Thanks to money problems (i.e. the compy was on loan in the pawn shop for a part of the spring...) I couldn't start my video until really late before the deadline. I didn't have time to make it really good...so it's not something I would like to play in the contest. But I still wanted it to play at Otakon :D and they are so cool at Otakon, they play them all some time or other.

I leave it to those in the contest to go through all the pangs like hair pulling, nail biting, and possible incontinence while I sit back and enjoy the contest show :wink:


Anxiety, hair pulling..........huh? Maybe I lissed the memo telling me to do this or something. Cause to be honest I amtotally relaxed and happy.
Then again, my only goal was to make the contest. So whatever happens is not importiant to me. I'm expecting to loose anyway, so the way I look at it things can only get better.

:shock:

What is this, only my second AMV ever? And the first one that I didn't do in Windows Movie Maker? I'm somewhat floored. But happy nevertheless.

And I just found out last week that I actually AM getting to go to Otakon this year... 8) Does anyone know where I can get grey hair powder or spray and red contacts?

Argh, can't edit my posts on this board.

What I forgot to say was: When I originally put this vid up for download, I didn't want to put it up locally, 'cause there were a few clips I was worried about getting in trouble for (like Misato in bed with Kaji, though nothing bad is showing), so I had to fit it onto my TCNJ webspace, which only had room for the 320x240 MPEG-1 version. But if Otakon took it, does that mean it's probably safe to put up on the Carrot? (IIt would be the 640x480 XviD version...)

You really need to go hentai or super-ultra-violence in order to run astray of the Carrot. Misato in bed w/ Kaji is hardly anything too explicit.

If in doubt, you can ask Phade to check it for content.
That's safer than risking a ban.

Betting Pool, etc...

Postby iserlohn » Sat Aug 02, 2003 6:07 pm

Everyone congratulate dwchang for winning the betting pool this year! He guessed 178 videos and the official response according to Matt's email was 179! The man'll get his review sometime after the con...

Also, a couple more bits from Matt's email that I didn't see posted earlier:

-Each vid had ~29 graders
-Each vid was graded from -2 to +2
-The median (line all the numbers up and this is the one in the middle) was -0.0400
-The arithmatic mean was +0.0545
-The highest average score was +1.7714
-The lowest average score was -2.0000
-The standard deviation was 0.7700
-78 videos were re-assigned category by the prescreeners.
-The top five videos from each category were automatically placed in the finals.

The category breakdown:
13% Romantic
28% Serious/Dramatic
27% Action
13% Upbeat
17% Humour
(all numbers have been rounded)

Yes, there were videos so bad that all 29 people unanamously agreed they'd never want to see it again.

I think there were <i>tapes</i> so bad that all 29 people unanamously agreed they'd never want to see again...
