Who?
Bryce Winant of "JMI Productions" and "Bryce and the Fat Man" ghost-rides it back to Otakon to defend his title against Dave McKeen of Dark Side Productions.
What?
IRON FREAKIN' EDITOR. Each contestant will have two hours to create an AMV that doesn't suck and adheres to the theme "Magical Girl".
How?
Each contestant will be given 5 anime sources, of which at least three must be used. Each contestant is allowed to cut their audio ahead of time and bring it with them to the event. They may bring multiple tracks if they so desire, as no audio will be provided during the event. In addition, each editor must use at least 1 second of the mandatory secret ingredient. It's a secret because the competitors don't know what it will be until it's showtime!

When and Where:
Otakon 2008. August 9th, 7pm - 10pm in panel 3 (subject to change). This is directly after Jeff and I present "AMV editing, a cross-platform approach" and we won't be clearing the room in between events, so come for the learning, stay for the fun stuff!
Why:
So that they can get into the con for free. But, they're not the only winners in this deal! Yes, Bob Babcock will be hosting as always, and will bring his infamous clipboard of games along with him so that the audience will have chances at winning FABULESS PRIZES!
