Is it actually going to happen this time? I heard about it back in 2003, but it never happend, I'm pretty sure. If it does, it's pretty easy for me to be there. I could enter the contest. I'm skeptical right now.

Wait, what the <i>hell?</i>
I mean, a cash prize sounds pretty sweet, but... there's the seeming contradiction (barring really short videos) I just pointed out, and also... am I reading this right, or is the only way to submit videos by <i>e-mail?</i><a href=http://www.anime-la.org/anime-la/amv/>The Anime LA AMV contest page</a> wrote:No AMVs over 6:00min in length, please, and <b>no AMVs over 100mb in size</b>.

We tried to get off the ground last January, but we couldn't get the hotel contract we wanted, and decided to postpone it for a year. And the result was we have a signed hotel contract giving us single/double rooms for $79+tax a night ($89 triple, $99 quad), which is a darned good rate. You get the convention rate even if you reserve at the last minute, or show up without a reservation and get a room -- if they're not full, and you get a room, you can get the convention rate. Sweet, eh? Rates are good for 3 days before and 3 days after the con, too.narcted wrote:Is it actually going to happen this time? I heard about it back in 2003, but it never happend, I'm pretty sure.

Longer videos
(Educate me, please, I'm new to all this: about how many MB or GB is a 6-minute AMV likely to be?)Scintilla wrote:Wait, what the <i>hell?</i>

I believe that we'll also be accepting AMVs via uploading, eventually; Mikal just relocated from up north to So. Calif. and I don't think he's got his new server up and running yet, which is why nothing's been announced about uploading monster files on line.
Or you could burn it to a cd or dvd and send it to our PO Box and I'll get it over to Mikal, that'll work too I suppose.

The answers
I wanted the 6:00 minute rule to eliminate long AMV's,
Does it really need to be over 6:00 minutes? AMX had a 7:00 minute
limit, but we don't have the security to hold people that extra minute
if they get restless!
The 100MB limit is there to prevent my e-mail server (gmail, or my new
one I am thinking of releasing) from becomming full from ppl
submiting. Its happened before.
With Divx, no movie should be over 100mb, even 10+ minutes.
If you have a diff format, u can always ask if We will be able to accomodate you.
Thank you,

P.S. contradiction is b/c of my obviously inferior knowlege of video editing tools,styles and most important codecs. If anyone wants to educate me on the style that are easiyist to play: be my guest[/quote]

which implies I CAN allow longer movies. (but PLEASE no 20-minute DBZ/Sailor Moon retrospectives based on "Dark Side of the Moon" by pink floyd)Larger file sizes will only be accepted at the sole
discretion of the administrator, and all of Mikal's decisions are
final.

So, you're telling us here that we're supposed to use a format that the rules say we're not supposed to be using?<a href=http://www.anime-la.org/anime-la/amv/>The Anime LA AMV contest page</a> wrote: Recommended Formats for AMV submission are as follows

Seriously. I have no faith in a contest coordinator who doesn't even try to learn how video works until after he's posted the contest rules.
I also have no faith in a contest coordinator who uses 'net-speak and who doesn't publicly communicate using properly-spelled words, but that's another issue entirely.
"If someone feels the need to 'express' himself or herself with a huge graphical 'singature' that has nothing to do with anything, that person should reevaluate his or her reasons for needing said form of expression, possibly with the help of a licensed mental health practitioner."
