Anime Expo 2012 AMV Contest Thread - WINNERS ANNOUNCED!!!

[BrokenMetronome]

I'm confused. I thought results were announced today. I can't find a hint of them anywhere.

Seriously though couldn't the list have been posted? Castor Troy is trolling me by not telling me and it's been becoming extremely ridiculous that we have to wait this long after the finalists were broadcasted.

[Ryvannis]

I mean this with the utmost sincerity:

You are an inspiration, and I would be so severely bummed if you stopped submitting vids to AX.

Fiercer competition should always be a reason to work harder.

Not to sound like a douche but that's easier said than done considering the outcome of these results.

What, nobody looks at the first page anymore?

Congrats to all who entered!


Some pre-emptive answers to any questions:

Q: There's more vids in Action & Drama! Yay! But why?
A: The reasons are simple. We had enough surplus time to add several more vids this year, and it seemed appropriate to use that time to enlarge the Action and Drama categories since we receive more vids in those categories BY FAR than the other categories. Lots of exceptional vids get chucked each year because the category is just so packed. Now some of those deserving vids will get to be seen.

Q: Why is "Fun" called "Random/Fun"?[/i]?
A: That's a bit more complex. The "Fun" category had originally been intended as a Parody/Trailer category. However, this year and last year it ended up being a category for "orphan vids," or vids which none of the other categories would fit. Heck, before the Fun category, the AMTV category ended up being the home for orphan vids. This issue holds true again for this year, so we figured we might as well embrace it. Next year though, that WILL be fixed properly, and those orphan vids will have a welcoming happy home. Stay tuned.

When I usually sleep, my dreams tend to be so vivid that I never realize I was in a dream until I woke up...to another vivid dream.

I couldn't watch the live, so I took a nap...until suddenly, my friend yelled my name and woke me up and said my vid is in.

I thought to myself...um....yeah, this must be a dream. Of course, this is a dream Like no way in nine hells, my vid is gonna be one of the finalists.

That is...until I saw the official list....and....corny sentence, dream became reality?

I mean...wow....just...wow....I...totally never expect that my entire life since there are tons of many wonderful AMV creators out there. (I'm major bummed for my friends who didn't make it. I'm still surprised at that!) I mean seriously, after seeing so many of you guys' AMVs, I don't think I'll ever make it to the finals at all. So huge congratulations to you finalists! I'm seriously scared of all of you.

But I'm a dreamer. I gotta have an impossible dream. So I made AMVs in hopes of seeing only one of my creations ever touch the gigantic screen of the majestic AX. So today, an impossible dream became possible. That's rather corny.




I still think I'm dreaming! Why am I posting at 4:00 in the morning?!

Don't think like that, I didn't worry about Fate Matrix at Kawaii-Kon, and I won best in showcase there with Fate Matrix coming in second ! It's all about what the crowd likes and votes for
