AnimeNEXT 2016 AMV Contest (It's Over!)

No action.....?

No action.....?

Like I said, a very difficult balance. There was only one finalist that I could really call an action video, and that's not enough for a category.

Schedule is out! Barring any unforeseen changes, the schedule of AMV events is as follows:

FRIDAY
4:00 - 6:30 P.M.: Friday AMV Overflow in Video 305/306 (see below for full schedule)
7:00 - 9:00 P.M.: AMV Contest Screening in Panel 302 (seating should begin at least 15 minutes prior)
10:00 - 11:00 P.M.: AMV Sing-Along AFTER DARK (17+) in Karaoke 401

SATURDAY
12:00 - 2:00 P.M.: AMV Contest Screening in Panel 302 (seating should begin at least 15 minutes prior)
3:00 P.M.: This is your deadline to turn in your contest ballots to the Info Desk, if you did not already hand them in at the contest screenings
4:00 - 6:30 P.M.: Saturday AMV Overflow in Video 305/306 (see below for full schedule)
8:00 - 9:00 P.M.: AMV Contest Awards Show in Karaoke 401

SUNDAY
9:30 - 11:30 A.M.: AMV Contest Encore Screening (non-voting) in Panel 405
2:15 - 3:15 P.M.: AMV Sing-Along! in Karaoke 401
3:45 - 4:30 P.M.: AMV Contest Winners Replay in Panel 302

Some important things to note about these:

1) As we did last year, we will have preshows for the two (voting) contest screenings, showing some of the best videos that did not make finals. So arrive early if you can!

2) The Awards Show is new for this year: for the first time, we have a dedicated block for the AMV contest winners, rather than showing them before or after the Masquerade. But the Karaoke room will not hold more than 250 people (probably fewer, given the karaoke layout), and there is not a room clear scheduled before the Awards Show. So if you are a finalist: please arrive early, we will do our best to hold seats for you, and we hope you like watching karaoke. ^_^

Overflow schedules in a separate post because this is getting long.

[Scintilla]

Here are the overflow block schedules, as best I can derive them. Within each block, the videos are arranged in alphabetical order by title.
IMPORTANT: Because of the nature of the hardware used in the video rooms, the playlist must be set in advance, and it runs continuously without intervention; therefore these times are only approximations. I suggest arriving a few minutes early for any given video if you want to make sure to catch it! The staff will NOT be able to repeat any video.

Edited the schedule post to reflect (1) the room assignments for the overflow blocks and (2) a change in the time and location of the contest encore screening on Sunday.

[Scintilla]

I've been waiting a long time to be able to make this post. Finally, here it is: the medal design for the 2016 AnimeNEXT AMV contest!
(To go with our convention's 2016 theme: the beach.)



Rider4Z's got two shots this year to keep her collection a complete set. Can she pull it off?

[Rider4Z]

I love these things!!
