We showed a big block of multi-editor projects, which included AMV Hell, AMV Hell 2, Reflections of Style, the Jet Set Radio Project, The Children Project, Mission Improbable 1 & 2, and even smaller ones like Soul Glo. Overall, the projects were well-loved, each being followed up by applause, and later in the con there were repeat preformances of all of them. In particular, AMV Hell + AMV Hell 2 were shown a total of 5 times over the course of the 4 days, due to people requesting that they be shown again.
The showing of DDR3 went well. Nobody was dancing, but there were plenty of people singing along and tapping their feet. The AniMix Project was well-recieved as well, with similar foot-tapping singing along and laughing out loud.
NES Project, sadly, didn't draw as large a crowd, but those who attended all seemed to like the project a lot.
late nights were full of AMVs, which viewers requested be played in place of regular features. Here's a list of features that AMVs are better than, according to Archon anime fans:
-Escaflowne the Movie
-Dogtato-kun (Which actually got plenty of laughs before we stopped it and started up AMVs
)-Shamanic Princess
-Millenium Actress
-Interlude
So yeah, overall, it went well.
Outside the room, I had a questionaire for people to fill out and voice opinions. By the end of con, someone had taken it, or thrown it away, or something - cuz I couldn't find it - but there seems to be large interest in an AMV contest at archon, as well as a 24 hour AMV video room.
AMV and Anime stuff aside, the con was the great drunken bash it always is. Room parties all over, the best dance room setup in the con's history as far as I'm concerned, good programming, lots of free booze everywhere you look, and of course, the best costuming in the midwest.
I'll post cosplay piccies if anyone's interested... but otherwise, that's it for the subject. In short, for a mid-size con, Archon in a crazy fun convention, and this year was fnatastic.
