So what did you all thing of the "New and Improved" Video Events this year? This was an amazing year. I felt the contests were very impressive with such a high(er)
quality of entries and no problems during playback, now that we're digital. There were a bunch of really great videos and everyone should check them out.
However, Chris and I really want/need your feedback on any and every aspect of these events. Things are changing fast and it is only 2 years before Akon's 20th Anniversary. We want to do something special that year. So give me your comments, ideas, suggestions, criticisms .... we would also like ideas on new kinds of events you would like to see and participate in. So lets us know!

It "was" and "is", but we got that video and no body knew what the hell to do with it because it is a live action video using some japanese soap opera tv show set to a japanese song. But it was edited so well, we all thought it was a real professional music video.ScoobINSMDBZ wrote:Congrats to all!
though I thought it was only going to be Best of Show and Runner Up for Fanworks
I don't know what this person was thinking sending us a full live-action video with no anime or anime references in it, but since we didn't know how to categorize it, it was decided to simply be given an honorable mention instead of being completely omitted.

I knew I should have thrown in the series somewhere...or something...lol
thanks
EDIT: I sent in the vid to just try it out though I thought it wasn't going to be accepted....I was surprised when it was accepted.
Thanks again though

Oh, that was your video?! Thanks for sending it, but I just have to ask why? I guess Chris never bothered to email you anything about it so he decided to give it to the judges and make us go ... WHAT THE F_CK IS THIS DOING HERE!ScoobINSMDBZ wrote: lol

If that was your intention, it worked, because we were dumbstruck as to what to do with it. It was just too good to completely remove simply for being a live-action music video, even though it has absolutely nothing to do with anime. So, congratulations and well done.
