Otakon 2004 AMV Contest Finalists

[Fungie½]

I hope to be making it. Just found out i might not be able to even get into my room until 4 which was not what i had planned. But i hope it isn't so bad that if i get in line semi-ealry that i wont get out until after 7:30. But with my luck thats how it will work.

anyway i whis all the finalists teh best of luck and if anyone wants to see my crap that didn't make it in its on the 5th screening. Not that any of you will go and see it just though i would mention.


anyway hope to see some of you there

oh and if any of you do decide to watch the 5th screening mine is the video created by Bryan Moon (Me wheee) anyway just though i would add. If any of you see it there plz let me know what you thought. if you dont mind that is. Ok im done wasting your time now.

Look, it's a huge step to even consider *entering* a contest. What you're doing is giving everyone else a huge slap in the face as well, saying that overflow's are all crap. Well I'm on overflow, and I happen to like my video. Excuuuuuuse me. Go see your video, see the reaction, and be happy. Don't get into some silly sympathy plee here.

Anyways, I'll see everyone at the con. Look for Miki from Utena along with an Utena from, well, Utena ^_^;;

I know I said I couldn't before, but by hook or, quite literally, by crook (don't ask), I am going to be there.

However, since I didn't pre-reg, I won't be getting my badge until tomorrow. Does anyone have plans to wait in line all night? (I know some folks did last year - crazy fools! 8) )

I wouldn't if I were you. Chances are Staff will chase you off.... or maybe a bom might try messing with you (which is why staff chases you off).
They really don't want people camping.

"My video is on the overflow tapes" + "My video is crap" != "All the videos on the overflow tapes are crap".

Yeah, prolly not the best idea - we'll just come up super early instead. Hell, I don't even know where the at-door reger's are going to line up anyway.

Oh, my kingdom for another $200 to spend on a room!

Well he has a little bit of a point though everyone is different. You know I needed a little bit of a push to enter my video in a contest (especially since some of the pushing came from hyour general direction). It's a bit of a step to try and muster enough confidence to show something in public at the risk of a bad audience reaction. Some people just gain it faster then others.



Toji...you know you must have liked your video at some point or else why the hell would you have sent it anywhere? You know it's not as bad as you are making it out to be. So it didn't get in...join the club. Although I'd be a liar if I said that I wouldn't have wanted it and I didn't get in either. But I'm not about to break down into an inferiority complex because of it. I still love my video anyway. And I know it's not crap. It's different...maybe a bit weird to some people...but it's not crap. It's just not a finalist that's all. It really is not the end of the world and it's not going to ruin my weekend.

It's over....I've had my time to shake it off...and now I'm ready to have some fun.

Yeah, just because you didn't get in the contest does not mean your video is crap.
There are a number of videos that are GREAT and still didn't make the contest. I happen to know some great vids didn't make the contest because of a mear 0.01 point difference in their review score, from one that did make the contest.

Hell, DokiDoki didn't get in the contest this year (sorry Tim, but ur a good example for this). And this is someone who has made it in, and won first place in his category years in a row.

We woul LOVE to be able to put everyone in the contest.... but who wants to watch a 14 hour contest? That's why we have pre-screenings. It's the most fair way to sort everything out.

Just because you didn't get it does not mean you or your video sucks...

*yawn* Hey guys I've been up all night and I need to leave for down town in an hour or two.
If anyone is interested a bunch of creators are getting together at the Pratt Street Lobby tonight at 7:30pm to go out and get something to eat. You welcome to come.

Is there any official word yet on whether the winners will be announced/played at the Masquerade or at the AMV creation process workshop (or both)?

You can depend on the annoucement happening at the AMV workshop.

I don't want to really get into the gossip. So I'm not going to disccuss any knowledge about the whole cosplay fiasco.

*shakes fists in the direction of the sky.. and screams.. cooooooooooossssssssssssssssssssssssspllllllllllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyy! (in an angry manner)*

[Toji Fujawara]

Hey everyone sorry i cant shut up about how much i seem to think i suck. I understand where all of you are coming from (sorry i dont think im making any sense yet) its just that i dont think any of my videos are good. I like them. In fact i dont have a video i dont like (ok so i dont like my first video). I just dont find my self to be a good creator yet. Ill stop telling everyone that my videos suck and just keep that to myself from now on. I would have posted this earlyer but i didn't had an internet connection due to me not wanting to pay $10 a day to get one at the hotel i was staying at.

Anyway thanks to everyone who convinced me that my video may not suck.

It's been a good 3 days since the last day of Otakon. Is everyone waiting for the official announcement or do you just not know who won?
