They did hand out pencils at the first amv showing this year but there weren't enough so the people beside you had to share them with you, but Geoff didn't recieve many of them back.

Congratulations to ALL the winners, To Seen for placing 2nd in his Category AND getting best themed video (Score one for the South Jersey editors!), And VicBond for winning his first Otakon (A close victory though... Kusoyaro's video was very good competition as well, I thought)

All in all though, I want to say I'm personally downloading EVERY video on the tracklist this time around. The entire show was in my opinion, full of great videos. It's given me renewed hope of actually getting a video in for next year's con... And yes, I'm shooting for the finals. ^_^

0_o....

How the heck did I get 2nd place? Wow, I feel all kinds of loved ^_^.

Gee, thats one heck of a suprise. Hmmm, Thanks for the info Gene, however, I still want 100% from Geoff whenever he decides to post it. I honestly still believe that William Milberry (Aluminum Studios) should have won the Drama catageory. From what I heard he was a bit unhappy that the Eva/Linkin Park video won. ::shrug:: , I thought it was a crowd pleaser, but like someone said before "You never know with audience voting".

Go South Jersey Editors!

What's with the segregation? I'd say Central Jersey made a pretty good showing as well, what with <a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... 708">first place in Upbeat/Rhythm</a> and <a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... 60">second place in Humorous/Satirical</a>. 8)

(At least. If any of the other winners are also North/Central Jerseyans, I apologize for not knowing it.)

Problem with handing out penceils was that you have to announce at the beginning of the contest for people to return them and have someone collected then as people leave or else they just take them with them...

In terms of the contest, yest it went fine.. Gnerally I find the audinence will also take into consideration anime they can relate to... This does not mean that the most popular anime will win, but it is an influence... Regardless of the results, everyone hadf fun and it was great to see all the fine videos on the big screen.. That's what is important anyway...

I just didn't want to win in front of such a huge crowd without being there and that with a video I did just for fun which could've been better.

Anyway, congratulations to all the winners and finalists, I'm sure it was a great contest.

Out of couriousity, can anyone tell me how my video was recieved by the audience? It was "Strike On" set to Princess Nine (Baseball stuff)

your video actually made my friend matt go to the dealers room to buy the Perfect Collection edition of Princess Nine.

so i would have to say, one person thought it was bad ass!

(now if only i could use AE like some people can...or else my entry would have had more flair in the contest) ^_^;
