I'm actually sick of all these videos with tons of effects. You lose the orginal art and story of the anime behind to many effects. I don't usually nominate a video for best of show, but there was one video this year I was going to do that for...guess what... It didn't even make the finals in any category. I was so surprised... I loved the video, it was so good, and my friend aggreed it was the best one we saw out of all the videos. Half the videos in the finals, I didn't even consider for giving a nomination to. People have different tastes.
I decided awhile ago, that I'm just going to keep making videos that I want to make. I'll send them to contests, but I rather see them enjoyed infront of an audience. I rather see people enjoy the video, then worry about how good of a creator I am, about getting awards.

I think you're wrong on this point. Yes, we do have a whole lot of fun trying to figure out just who made what (in the cases where it isn't already very well known or quite obvious)- but in the end, it's how good a video is that will determine whether or not it gets nominated. Well, or at least that should- putting aside certain groups of people who make a point of making sure their friends vote for them and vice versa, most of us don't let who made a video influence our voting on it. If one of our friends made a video that we thought just wasn't that good- we wouldn't vote for it. And if there was a really good video made by either someone unknown or even that we might not really like, we'd still vote for it. Part of the requirements for the Pro contest was to behave like professionals and not let petty personal matters influence our judging. For the most part, I'd say most of us succeed at it.

Well here's a fact for you - neither was Tim "DokiDoki" Park. Does that put things into perspective for you?
Not getting in the finals does not make you a bad editor or a loser, so stop beating yourself up about it.

Then again, other people do hate my stuff and well, that's just them.AbsoluteDestiny wrote:Oh and... making AMVs isnt about winning, it's about having fun making things you like in your spare time. If you are only making amvs for the glory then you should probably stop now. The only person you need to please is yourself - anyone else is just a bonus.
