hey, i sent you an email but i am posting here incase you get this first. I am submitting a movie trailer and at the end it has a kind of bumper. But its supposed to be like the end of a movie trailers credits. Do you want me to remove that from the amv or is it ok to submit it with it. Hope to hear back from you soon.

So, um... Are the finalists going to be notified, or what? The con's next weekend, and I'd like to know whether either of my vids made it...

If I hadn't just gotten back from Wisconsin I'd post a giant list of complaints about this, citing examples, but as it is I'm too bloody tired so I'm just listing the major ones.

1. Lack of communication on the coordinator's part, in just about every aspect, including but not limited to FTP information in a timely manner, finalist notification, TELLING US WHETHER OUR VIDEOS WERE EVEN F'ING RECEIVED, etc...

2. Drama and romance were clumped together into one giant 12 video category? What? Whose bright idea was this?

3. Winners in each category were chosen by a judge's committee, which is fine, but the audience choice award... um... I'm told that it was done by loudest cheer, and that not all of the videos were available to the audience to cheer for. Who decided this? Who gets to decide which finalists the audience gets to cheer for?

If you "didn't have the time" to dedicate to running an AMV contest, you should have handed it off to someone else who was willing (and able) to do so. Communication with the editors is key, if you can't even be bothered to respond to emails or forum posts then we can't be bothered to spend months working on a video in order to submit it to a substandard contest - and possibly not even have it be shown because "it was never received" when we get no notification from you that it was not.
