At Otakon 2005, an event was held called the AMV Iron Editor Competition. Two AMV editors go head to head and have 2 hours to create a music video using at least 3 of 5 pre-determined sources, plus 1 secret ingredient that all must be edited to a specific theme using any audio the contestent comes in with. This contest is done live in front of an audience. This year, it was myself against Victor Boruta. The judges were Hsien Lee, Scott Melzer, and Senta Miller, and the event itself was hosted by Robert Babcock.
Somehow, my video ended up winning over Vic's. I don't have any misconceptions about whose video was edited better (Vic's, easily), so winning was truly an honor (and a shock). I don't know if he'll be posting his up anytime soon (or at all). Anyways, I hope you all enjoy my video and maybe get a good laugh out of it
