Eh, if I was really pissed, I would'a e-mailed you privately. Next time ask first.kholaras wrote: Sorry Matt and everyone else. First year on staff and I guess I overstepped my bounds. It was a long two weekends of judging and an even longer con weekend, so I'm not really sure where it got messed up. Probably just read off the wrong line of my printouts.

That would be jasper-isis (Helen) and krzT (Kristie). It was a collab.MCWagner wrote:Best Instrumental
Goes to Helen of Allegretto Productions
For the Video “Absolution”
To the song “Allegretto” by Bond
To the Anime Ah! My Goddess Movie
Here's something that I'm curious about: Since the video was created by the two of us, does it mean that we both qualify for the Masters contest now? >__>

To anyone who's interested, I posted a download link to this video in my journal. Can't really make an entry on the site since it's completely unrelated to anime.MCWagner wrote: Best Live Action
Goes to Hsien Lee of Kusoyaro Productions
For the Video “Peninsula Pomegranate Pendegrass”
To the song of the same name by Halley
To the film “Lost in Translation”
I have no idea how to use this new forum.

I'm not sure it's gratuitous, but there are definite similarities. I suspect Dreamer got its theme from Native American legends about the gods creating the world on the back of a turtle.Lostboy wrote:And did anyone ever notice that the movie Dark City borrowed gratuitously from Beautiful Dreamer?MCWagner wrote:Yeah, while announcing the winner I asked the audience to all raise their hands if they hadn't seen UY: Beautiful Dreamer. Then I demanded that they all go out and find the film, since it's easily one of the best Animes ever made....
A quick Google search brings up several articles comparing Oshii (director of Beautiful Dreamer) with Proyas (director of Dark City). Dark City vs Avalon; I, Robot vs Ghost In the Shell, etc.

Actually no, it's based on a legend of an Emperor who, upon saving a turtle, accepted an invitation from the turtle to visit the dragon king's kingdom (or something like that) and rode on his back to the mansion under the sea. When he finally returned, he discovered that he'd been gone for thousands of years instead of just a few days that he'd thought. There's actually a sidelong reference to this in the film, but you've got to watch out for it...TaranT wrote:I'm not sure it's gratuitous, but there are definite similarities.

Interesting...I want to watch the movie again now, so I'll look for that (IF I can find my DVD; couldn't locate it last night).MCWagner wrote: Actually no, it's based on a legend of an Emperor who, upon saving a turtle, accepted an invitation from the turtle to visit the dragon king's kingdom (or something like that) and rode on his back to the mansion under the sea.

With Google, I came across another city-on-turtle reference in a review of an anime "Amon Saga" - which I haven't seen.
