Otakon 2022 - AMV x Theater

Post by VicBond007 » Thu May 19, 2022 10:13 am

IRON EDITOR
Image
Who:
BecauseImBored1 returns to Otakon to defend her Iron Editor title against JMI Productions...who is also defending his title win from last year...it's complicated.

What:
Two AMV editors spend two hours editing an AMV in front of a live audience. No pressure. There will also be plenty of audience participation events.

How?
Each contestant will be given 6 anime sources, and all 6 must be used. Each contestant is allowed to cut their audio ahead of time and bring it with them to the event. They may bring multiple tracks if they so desire, as no audio will be provided during the event. In addition, each editor must use at least 1 second of EACH secret ingredient.

Sources:
Keeping with Otakon's theme of "Time Skip", Iron Editor's theme will be "What's old is new again", with the sources being classics that my old-self grew up with, and their modern re-imaginings.
End of Evangelion / Evangelion 3.0+1.0
Sailor Moon SuperS / Sailor Moon Eternal movie 2
Dragon Ball Z: The Legendary Super Saiyan / Dragon Ball Super: Broly
Plus TWO (related) secret sources!

When and Where:
Saturday, July 30th, 4:15pm, AMV Theater (time and date subject to change).

Why?
Free badge if you compete. Free medal if you win!

-----------------------
AMV THEATER INFO
Otakon 2022 is back open for business, and so is AMV Theater, now 100% bigger. No seriously, we moved rooms, and now it's twice the size. Unless things change, we've relocated to Room 202 (formerly "Panel 1").

AMV Theater will be running all convention-weekend as-normal. Supposedly we do NOT have to run with reduced hours this year, so we will be back on our regular schedule, closing at 1:30AM instead of midnight.

-----------------------
THE AMV CONTEST
Like with 2021, the AMV Contest will not be simulcast to a second room. Also like 2021, we are going to still hold 3 showings, all in AMV Theater (1 on Friday, 2 on Saturday). There will be voting at all 3 screenings. AMV Theater seats 700 people now, so this should accommodate everyone who wants to see the contest. The AMV Contest Awards Ceremony will also be held in AMV Theater.

AMV Contest Winners
l33tmeatwad banged out a very nice list here: viewtopic.php?p=1576653&sid=913ceffd911 ... f#p1576674

AMV Contest Rules:
https://www.otakon.com/activities/amv-contest/

Very important takeaway in regards to our "anti-trolling policy". We've always ignored awards issued by online contests, and that doesn't change this year, but it's especially important to note that this also takes into account cons that would have normally held in-person events, but couldn't this year. Ex: Otakuthon is normally an in-person con, but Otakuthon 2021 was virtual-only. Even if your video won "Best in show, life, the universe, and everything" at Otakuthon 2021, since it had no live in-person screening, we're treating it like any other online contest. I don't know how many other 2021-2022 cons were "online only", but we want to still leave that door open.

AMV Contest deadline is July 4th. I'll be celebrating with burgers, beer, and MP4s :?

AMV Contest Entrant Perks:
If you entered a video in this year's contest and weren't disqualified, you're entitled to 3 ribbons (one for you, two for your homies). You can pick up these ribbons at PROGRAMMING OPS (WEWCC 209A-C, there's a sign outside). Bring some form of ID that says you're you (you will pick up all 3 at the same time).
These ribbons entitle you to reserved seating at any of the 3 AMV Contest screenings, and the AMV Contest Awards presentation. Because we expect each event to completely fill, we will start giving away seats in the reserved section 10 minutes prior to each event starting, so be sure that you show up with at-least 10 minutes to spare.

Already got my entry sent.

BTW, does the con need anything for the fan parody blocks, as I was thinking about submitting my Runaway Anime video for that.

"Anime" footage is loosely determined by the animation studio that produced the art for the show. If it is an Asian studio, then the footage will likely be allowed. If it is not, then your entry could be disqualified. Sorry, but by this definition, "Avatar: The Last Airbender" and "The Legend of Korra" are not "anime" and will be disqualified. We have to draw the line somewhere.
I hate to break it to you but...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar: ... _Airbender
Avatar: The Last Airbender was co-created and produced by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko at Nickelodeon Animation Studios in Burbank, California. Its animation was mostly done by South Korean studios JM Animation, DR Movie, and MOI Animation.

OK...so maybe the rule is worded incorrectly. Been using the same verbage for 14 years, but then again, people can still be wrong. After all, Pluto isn't a planet anymore. The focus was on the fact that it was created by Nickelodeon Animation Studios, an American studio. Maybe it'll get rewritten for 2023, but the idea behind the ruling still stands. Math is math, anime is anime (I'll let someone else make the gif). If we have to ask "is this anime?" then the video could still get chucked. If we opened up the contest to every animation that used South Korean tweeners (that sounds way more derogatory than it should...) then pretty much nothing is off the table. I'm down for a G.I. Joe X My Little Pony Gen3 crossover video, but while it might hold a special place in my heart, it might not have a place at Otakon.
