Blast.....now I have more competition :twisted: ::clenches fist:: -> ::camera zooms out:: GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!

Upbeat was either light/happy peppy stuff, or things stitched together from various animes with no real correlation to each other, but everything happening with a beat. It's a tough differentiation for a lot of videos but some videos would only work in that category so we have to keep it around.

Don't worry, you're so gonna kick Quiet Cannon's ass.

We received 67 entries, we had room for the top 37 in the contest. There was a lot of weeding out. In fact, since some submissions were DQed for time, the overflow is as long as the contest O_O

Obviously there were people weeded out. :( There's always Katsucon. I'll have even a better prepared for that one. :wink:

Sorry, I'm not trying to be a wiseass. (this time :) ) Every OTHER contest I've been in was lucky to have enough entries...I'm surprised I made any sort of cut.

*Whispers* I started that rumor to weaken the competition in the trailer category, you weren't supposed to let anyone know :shock:

oh I guess well forgot to tell you.. the winner of each category has to kill the other members (of the respective category) in order for you to receive your award/prize/certificate/whatever.. so I guess that means if you loose to yourself.. you have to kill yourself.. and if you don't win at all.. someone's still going to have kill you. hehe j/k :D ..you can pay someone to do all your dirty work for a fee.. no no no.. I'm still just kidding :P :wink: :D

I doubt that. Unless I've been lied to all these years, we have the same mom.

I'm confused. This is a good video but not what I would consider upbeat, and definitely not "light/happy peppy stuff".

Hmm. You seem to have a point :D The only thing I can think of is that the song is fairly uptempo, but you're right, the video isn't really all that happy :)

Wait you got that wrong. If he doesn't win at all, he get to be killed twice. (Grin)

Thank you Vic for running the contest. So far it sounds like things are going smoothly.

Oh and if you could privately mail me about my other video. I'm just curious what category you would call it, as I'm kind of confused on it myself. So looking for other opinions. Thanks!

Looks like bribing the judges was worth it after all! :wink: Though someone must have been a bit unhappy about theirs, since 'Little' was misspelled. :P

I'm kind of surprised that you ended up with two videos in one category Q C- but then I also glanced through the rules and realized that unlike most, there wasn't a condition that I could see that you couldn't enter both videos into the same category. I feel for you, though- I ended up with two trailers competing against each other at Tekkoshocon this year (It's Tricky to Make a Trailer and The Powerpuff Revolutions), and I would have much preferred having just had one (ITTMAT was supposed to be in 'Comedy'...) so as to not split the votes and be competing against myself.

Good luck to everyone! I wish I could be there to see the contest, but it's just not in the cards (or the finances) this year. :?

Coolness, I made the cut - I was worried, 'cause I had to change my planned entry at, like, the last minute (no lie, I finished uploading it at 11:45 PM on Friday, and I really wish I had the time to beta it, some small glitches made it through). I'm scared, though - my little horror video is going up against some killers in action - I gotta remember not to genre-hop. :wink:

Best o' luck to everyone in the competition; I'm really looking forward to AUSA.

See ya there!
