Oh, I took no offense. :) Just debating is all. Honestly I think that the Ke$ha vid had the audio working AGAINST it. When that one came up I heard audible groans all around me. It got my vote though, because despite the Ke$ha, it was amusing and well-edited. It's rare to see funny romance videos.

Yeah, I had a hard time getting my friends to watch it because of that, but they really enjoyed it once they watched it, lol. Even when I came up with the concept, I was wondering how audiences would react to it.

I had the same issue with my Hetalia one. "Ewwww, HETALIA?"

Great video, and congrats on the win! I particularly loved the motion zooms on the held notes and the lipsyncing on the "bitch about this and whine about that" parts.

When I get home I'll take a pic and upload it. :) They're very pretty.

Can I just say again how much I love love love Extraball? What program did you use to make it? How long did it take you?

Awesome sauce. :)

I used Sony Vegas Pro 9 and 10. I started making it sometime late January I think, and finished it on the deadline for Kawaii-Kon sometime early March. But I made Prelude to Dreams in that time frame too and really procrastinated on Extraball, but I spent about 40-50 hours on it I would imagine.

Ah hah, I've heard that Vegas has a super shiny rotoscoping tool, that must have helped a lot? I am honestly shocked that it only took three months! That amount of work in AE feels like it would have taken FOREVER. Maybe I'll have to look into getting Vegas after all.

Yeah..I was a little surprised that won..I mean I understand comedy but I don't understand why romance. Would you happen to know how many people pick the finalist for the con? Only one person? Or a few? Well..no use arguing whats been done. Hopefully next year their will be a better selection of videos and winners for anime boston.

I'm assuming you haven't seen Toradora...
