Sakura-Con Feedback

[Illia Sadri]

Really nobody can help if a certain show gets used multiple times. And well.... in this case a problem showed up as one of the shows with multiple entries happened to be a 24 minute movie. You watch two hoshi no koe vids and you will unfortunately end up seeing most of the movie.

Oh yes and for the record I was one of the several Hoshi no Koe vids. I wasn't competing, it was in exhibition. And I had seen burntoast's video and it was damn good and probably deserved to get in.


But yes as yet another coordinator (Ohayocon and Tekkoshocon) speaks up, we have no say on what kinda of videos we get. I've had 4 or 5 Naruto videos in Tekko's contest..... a con of 1300 people. They made it in because they simply were good enough and also they followed the rules specified.

And this coming from someone who is absolutely sick and tired of naruto amv's.


From what I understand is that a panel of 5 staffers went through the videos submitted and voted what ones should have gone in. I think it was a 3/5th majority but Dinger knows better than I do on how the voting was conducted.

So if your video did not make it in, it was not because of a single coordinator. Obviously it was not good enough to pass a full panel of judges or the other entries were so good that it just could not fit due to time constraints. Simple as that.




So really stop whining on such matters. Feedback really has to deal with how the contest was presented and handled. Not whining because so and so's video didn't make the cut.



And since I was not in attendance for the contest I can't give much for feedback only that I do know that a number of videos in drama (by the way Shinsei, Vlad and I both had videos that had this problem) had playback issues where the audio lost synch with the video slightly. That can be troublesome for videos that rely on synch but it can certainly be worked on next year.

Can't give any suggestions though since I don't know what the playback equipment was.

yes it was a 3/5 majority and of the pannel there were 3 who were convention Executives. The reason I asked Executives to sit on the panel was because they have overall say over the convention and how it is run.

I didnt want to cut any videos but when faced with 5 and a half hours of AMVs... well cuts had to happen
