Hey hey!!
My first time on this thread I'm currently working on a entry for the comedy/humor category! I believe I'll have the video sent in right before the due date.

I've used very few audio from the actual anime to add to the comedic effect, but I have done a tad bit of keyframing as it's how I like to do my transitions. I was wondering if I entered my entry in, would I be notified if there would be anything I must change if there's a potential disqualificator factor about it?

I think it's good, and i've read over the rules thoroughly. I tried to find entries that used similar zoom in transitions the way I do, but I haven't found many and just wanna ensure my entry would meet all rules! If need be, it's also ALMOST done, so I can send a general render over to ensure it meets all qualifications before I submit entirely! Thank you!!

Hi there,
Go ahead and send your test render to: PTWorksAMV@gmail.com
and I'll get back to you.
Thank you!

[alexdoesall]

Radical!! I've since sent it, and with an inquiry about another potential entry of mine! Thanks a ton

Question. There's a section about a proxy to pick up a prize. This isn't clear. If I click yes, it wants a name. If I click 'no', it makes it sound (to me) that I'd be in attendance, which I would not be. Do I still click 'no' even though I won't have a proxy and won't be there?

If you won't be there and have noone there to pick up your prize, you can select no.
Cheers!
