I'll be there... as staff (though I will have some break time to do non-staffy things).

Speaking of which, any word as to whether or not there will be an AMV creators panel this year (I assume there will be)? I kinda would like to be on the panel itself, if the other panelists don't mind, though only to give pointers on making AMVs on Macs and only if there are no other Mac users already on the panel (they'd probably be better editors than I am anyway).

I just feel there should be some Mac expertise on the AMV panel because the Anime Boston panel had no one who could answer questions from the Mac users in the crowd.

Scott A. Melzer is usually on the Otakon AMV panel, and I know he uses a Mac.

Don't you generally have to be invited in order to be a panelist?

Last year I was on the pannel and I did pretty well for my knowledge. I'm hoping to be on the pannel again this year since I have knowledge of many different editing programs.

Well, if someone who's been on the panel before will be the Mac guy, I'm fine with that and I'll bow out of the way. :)

Also, you don't necessarily have to be invited to be on a panel (I happen to be on panels staff -- but just a grunt, so don't ask me to get you special panel space or anything). You can just send a request for a panel to the Otakon panels coordinator and she'll figure out whether or not to grant it (I don't know how she makes the decisions. As I said, I'm just a grunt).

Of course, I assume that you mean "invited by Otakon staff" by "invited," not "invited by the high priests of Otakon AMV editors." :)

I repeat: don't you have to be <b>invited</b> in order to be a panelist [on the Otakon AMV panel(s)]?

Cool. Hopefully I'll see ya there (I'm going to try to be the staffer assigned to the AMV panel, if possible. If not, I'll try to get break time while it's going on).

Well, invited by Otakon staff or whatever AMVers are in charge of the panel, is what I meant, yeah.

Fair enough. :)

That's partially why I posted here. I already know that someone's trying to organize an AMV panel, but I don't know who (though I guess if I pressed for the info, I might have learned). I figured whoever is setting up the panel may read these forums and I wanted to volunteer as a Mac "expert" if they don't have anyone else already.

Still, if Scott A. Melzer is already on the panel, it's all moot anyway.

Last year the pannel consisted of VicBond007, ANTDrakko and me. Some how people couldn't make it and I knew I had some knoweldge and I could have been of some help so I decided to help with the pannel. The pannel last year gave me even more inspiration to create videos. Just being able to help people out with their questions is a great feeling. So yeah I'm looking forward to this year.
