Oh, I definitely agree. It's just that some people are impressed by cool-looking FX even if they are meaningless (as BogoSort set out to prove (and satirize) last year) -- usually, when I hear people talking about "easily impressed" concerning AMVs, they're referring to shiny happy <s>people</s> effectsy videos. That's why your statement struck me.rubyeye wrote:Impressive FX are meaningless if they don't surve the video. If the point is simply to "look cool", it's pointless.

It was great to see you there Dan. Thanks for being there at the awards. I never thought I would make AKON history like that.rubyeye wrote:This year was a milestone.
** First time every that a single video sweeps ALL THE JUDGING AWARDS: Artistic, Technical, Judges' Choice.
That honor went to Carlos for his Drunk With Love video.
But I'm happy with the three awards I brought home.
I was surprised by the reaction everyone had to Naruto's United States of Whatever as well.
They showed the Fan Favorite and then after that, people started yelling for Naruto's United States of Whatever. Turns out, my Naruto video was short only a few votes form winning Fan Favorite. Still, hearing the crowd react the way it did to my video made it all worth it. It was such greatness!

I would have figured they would just give you one BIG trophy. They are being hand-made like he said.Machine wrote:But I'm happy with the three awards I brought home.
Is it any surprise? How many entries were there anyway? How many even know about it? Oh, well...just have to wait to see what it is.Machine wrote:Oh I forgot to mention:
MexicanJunior won Best Hentai Video as well.
He won't tell anyone what it is until AWA.
