...do people have any idea as to what the term 'originality' means when leaving an opinion...?

If an AMV gong show ever happened, I'd actually go so far as to raise my hand in order to put myself out there as a possible embittered judge. I think that would be entertaining, but what do I know, I actually enjoy myself.

To answer the question seriously, some ideas:

Advanced panels. AE, Blender, AVIsynth, Premiere (hey, it can do some advanced shit), how to rip DVDs properly (with the amount of DL footage around this could be called 'advanced'), etc. Looking around the org I see many people who figured out how to use WMM and downloaded footage but don't know anything above that.

An open Iron Editor. Load up a few computers with footage and a few songs then allow anyone to signup for a two hour block to edit a video. After the contests award show you could show all the vids made during the con with an informal voting and cheap ass certificate to the winner. Disadvantages are it'd require a few computers and some space.

A bishi kissing booth. A dollar to kiss trythil in drag and all proceeds go to the org. If done on Friday the pics from this could be the secret ingredient for the Iron Editor competition.

That's an awesome idea, I'd be so onboard with this.

The AMV gong show is a serious suggestion :P

That reminds me -- I was planning on setting up a sort of "how to make an AMV with Free Software" panel...

I doubt anyone would care, though, so.

Actually, I'd totally consider an AMV Gong Show as being a serious suggestion as well. We already effectively run one AMV-oriented game show during the Iron Editor, and there are plenty of other anime-themed game shows at conventions these days, and AMV-themed one would make quite an interesting event. I'd definitely be all for this- including asking Greggo to host it since ACen is one of the few cons he still attends.

It would make for something amusing for everyone to make a video to as well- we always strive so hard to make videos as perfect, clean, and appealing as as we can, it would be a lot of fun I think to try and do the opposite (while keeping the content within what could be shown). And it would actually serve as two 'events' in one- you could have the actual game show where the panel 'gongs' the videos when they get fed up with them, and then for those really masochistic people you could have a block later on when you show the videos that were submitted in their entirety.
