I'm curious to see if I made the finals or am I still in my Katsucon drought. lol. See you guys at the convention I'll be the energetic off the wall Gene Starwind without the dyed hair. Maybe I'll die it I'm not sure.

But we do have TheFinalAct.net, MeriC, Alan Chaess, and Jeff Heller (I believe) in the list this year. (and me too, after being shut out last year) There's no lack of talent in this year's list, even without Hsien and VicBond.

The final cut list awaits....

I'm really excited about seeing the final of MeriC's video! The beta was frigging awesome - I can't wait! It's going to look great on the big screen!

Hey, whoever sees the finalist list first and decides to post it to a-m-v.org, start a new thread. That way we won't have to scroll through and members won't initially confuse it with the entry list.

Good luck to you all. I'll be staffing at Katsucon registration. I'll see you there.

Girl, I haven't even seen your finished video yet, too! If you're gonna be around this weekend, I'll send you the final MPEG.

This morning there was an announcement by CXI on the Katsucon forum about the Final Cut List:

The list of music video finalists has been available in the Announcements section since the beginning of January, but apparently not everyone realizes that. Here is the information duplicated from those posts. Sorry for the confusion:

And then he proceeds to list all the participants that submitted to the contest.

Whatever happened to what Keith Mayfield said back in mid-December?

Please get your entries in. Pre Judging will take place January 15th 2005
On January 19th the final entry list will posted.

So apparently all the entries have been pre-judged, and no video was rejected due to content, score, or time constraints. Also, apparently there is no time limit for the AMV contest showings this year; in the past 2 years there was a 2-hour limit for the contest.

If that indeed was the case, it's all fine and dandy, but honestly, if in the past 2 years there was a Final Cut List, and there was an announcement saying something to that effect this year also, there should be something indicating that it is a Final Cut List. Can we have a little consistency here?

So this means everyone made the contest by default. Okay. I wish this was more clear to everyone. Brakus, apparently you and I are not the ones confused by all of this.

I guess that makes me happy that my videos will be shown, but at the same time it makes me sad that there weren't a whole lot of videos submitted which would nesesitate a preliminary cut. This could be either very good or very bad as it could be a great contest or a overall crappy one with only few decent videos. Considering the entrant list I don't think its the later case. I just hope I don't feel like clawing my eyes out while at the contest ^_^
