Phew. That was some intense judging we had. About ten and a half hours of judging....Well...Atleast it's over now and we have all the finalists set. I'm proud to say we have a awesome contest this year. It's also the first contest for CSUN Anime so I'm glad to see it's going great so far.
Now we should move onto the finalists. But before we do that I'd like to thank all the judges for the contest....TheRealNeoHentaiMaster (Tony), Castor-Troy (Ryan), Anneke (I know her name but if I say it I may not be alive tomorrow...=P), And Travis.
Also, I'd just like to say that we have chosen "Most Artistic", "Best Editing", "Best Special Effects", "Most Technical" judges awards. We will not be announcing them till the contest...but I must say, We have one video that didn't make the finals but has still won a award....
I'd also like to state that Comedy and Parody/Fun had to be merged due to the lack of videos in the comedy category...And one more thing...We are going to be recording the entire contest through a MiniDV camcorder...I personally will be editing it for organization and then make it public on my server so you can all see how the contest was run and the reactions toward each video.
Now onto the finalists!
