Heya Vlad, I thought the name looked familiar when I got off of Anime-Alberta.org.
I got a question for you regarding submissions, actually a few.
1. Define Beta codec, depending on your point of view most of the XviD codecs would count as betas. I'm using the 1.0.0 final codec that was released around the 16th, is it going to be supported?
2. Banners, I usually just have some text overlaying the beginning and ending of my videos, title of the video, and studio name at the beginning. Title of anime/music and a "Thank you for viewing" bit at the end. Is it preferred to have this all stripped away?
3. And the important question, do you think there is gonna be enough floor space to accomidate people better this year? <Note I am not complaining here, its merely an observation> I didn't watch the vids cause it was so crowded, but I want to see peoples reaction to my vid. Honestly thats the main reason i'm entering mine, my editing has improved alot in the past few months, but I ain't gonna be walking away with any hardware either.
4. "Animethon reserves the right to use any entry for display and promotional purposes. All videos entered will be considered to be cleared for this purpose by the entrants filling out and signing the entry form."
You make this sound like a bad thing, more like PLEASE show mine.
as I say, I just wanna get some reactions.
Oh, and to add to a poll you guys were running, i'd pay for admission to Animethon, But not more than say 20 or 30 for a 2 day pass. And you'd still have to keep the food donations thing going, its a worthy cause. Maybe donate and get a discount off admission, as long as people don't start bringing in 1 bag of noodles or something cheap. Last year I needed help hauling my donations in.
