32 videos were shown. The first showing was last night, and a second showing took place this morning. Winners will be announced tonight, in about 30 minutes from the time of this post.
There was a noticeable problem with the videos' playback - the contest was shown from a single DVD, and the DVD slowly desynchronized more and more as the contest went on, so much so that not a single cue in the last video appeared to have been synchronized at all.

You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.

According to the video info, kayko4578 didn't actually do that video; s/he's just hosting it by proxy for a friend.turboneko wrote:Novice: Animescopes by kayko4578

Congrats to all the winners, and can't wait for next year when Anime Boston won't have to worry about capping attendance.

TaranT had a Porco Rosso video, and Tom the Fish had two videos (No Need To Feel Down and another FLCL vid I can't remember)bote wrote: Who else entered in "Masters"?
Hmm, Tom winning Best Comedy and Best in Show. Sounds familiar...
In any case, congrats to ALL the finalists AND all the winners.
Also, there were TWO, count'm, TWO Iron Chef events between myself and OtakuForLife:
<b>Round One (late Friday night)</b>
Song: The Pillows - Hybrid Rainbow
<b>DOKool</b>: Teknolize Vol 1
<b>OFL</b>: Kino's Journey Vol 1
<b>Winner</b>: OFL by a margin of .4 (Note: These were both purchased the same day in the dealer's room. OFL watched his disc once beforehand, I didn't watch mine at all)
<b>Round Two (Sunday afternoon)</b>
Song: Bjork - Hunter
<b>DOKool</b>: Azumanga Daioh Episode 1
<b>OFL</b>: Abenobashi Episode 11 (first episode on Disc 4)
<b>Winner<b/>: DOKool by a margin of 1.3 (Note: Neither of us had seen the shows at all)
For something that was thrown together in a matter of hours, both events were damned fun, and next year we hope to do it right! Check out the AMV Announcements section for our vids soon...

Main Events was *FULL* on both Friday Night and Saturday Morning.Skrasis wrote:So how many people attended the event on friday night? And what exactly was the problem with the DVD synching? was it really bad?
Skrasis
As far as the problem with the DVD synching, that was a problem with the DVD itself, in my opinion. At the Behind the AMVs Panel, Patrick said that it was most likely a problem with the mixing board. Which would make sense, except that the delay was VERY much present in the videos off the AB2004 disc that were shown.
