Re: Releasing AMVs before a contest?
AWA Pro is almost always Do Not Open Until After Christmas kind of thing. Generally people still know what video is mine, since often I am not sure which one of my whacky experimental projects will end up as the Pro entry until I have already likely discussed it with someone, but it does not get released until after Pro is completed.

I meant that I only release it until after pro is over.Kitsuner wrote:But AWA is in September...Kionon wrote:AWA Pro is almost always Do Not Open Until After Christmas kind of thing.

Re: Releasing AMVs before a contest?
for me as I've said it depends on the contest and the video...
for something like AWA Pro wait until all the voting is over. If I make the video specifically for a contest then I'll wait until after that contest to release it. If its a general video that I send out to a few cons then I'll just release it when it's done...
Just don't troll your videos at cons cause if you are a person who goes to several cons you get sick of seeing the same videos over and over again...

Re: Releasing AMVs before a contest?
I don't wait with releasing. basically because I can't really tell which vid of mine is good, I usually recognize it after few (tens to hundreds) rewatches. So, in fact, I try to release and see which vid is more popular ^^
Which doesn't mean it's the same as the one I find good, I just like to have some comparison ;x

Re: Releasing AMVs before a contest?
I think it's fine to release it whenever you feel like it. The urge to release and share is strong so I think it's better to get it off your chest and let it go. Like stated before, unless your a super popular editor, it probably won't affect much of anything.

Re: Releasing AMVs before a contest?
In special cases I wouldn't release a AMV before a contest especially if it's something that you have been working on for a long time. Like me, I'm working on a secret project that I don't plan on releasing until after Anime Expo. That's if I actually make it in this time.
