Thanks for the info, even if it is off it'll help a bunch with planing our non-con events... I totally feel your pain though. I had to fight tooth n nail to keep our contest at youmacon in main programing, and stealing an extra hour away from cosplay events wasn't an easy task either. Sadly, I lost the fight to move Iron Editor to a bigger room because cosplay was using it. I feel I will also loose the battle once again this comming year in that respect, despite how cramped that room was this past year.VicBond007 wrote:I'm reconfiguring the firewall at work, so right now I can't download the latest schedule, but I believe that the contest screening is from 7pm to 10pm Friday. The contest is only 2 hours long though, and we will be using the first hour for setup/random stuff. We're trying to get a second screening in sometime on Saturday, as well as an overflow screening, but unless I figure out some way to integrate cosplay into the event, I doubt the staff will even acknowledge my requests...again.
Great job with the work anyway. I know there's a lot involved. And I look forward to some good competition and a great showing at the con ^^

First off, I'm not going to be a jerk and complain about this; I'd just like to find out what went wrong.
My video, while listed here as a finalist for the contest, did not make it onto the ballot. I was unable to attend the showings so I cannot say if it was ever shown at all. Truth be told, I entered the contest merely to serve as a springboard for getting my creative juices flowing again and didn't expect to be a winner but to find out after the fact that my place in the finals never actually happened is an annoyance.
But like I said, I just hope to get an explanation and bear no rancor towards either the results or the work of those who did win, nor do I seek to go on the warpath towards those who ran the contest--absolutely not. I understand the constaints and obstacles placed in this contest's path.

Apparently what happened, was the contest was mis-timed, so after I made the announcement, I had to drop the lowest video on the list, and yours was it. I intended to sneak it back into the playlist at the con, even though it'd push us over the 2 hour mark because I felt bad about it afterwards (seeing as I've been critical of Otakon in the past for releasing "the list v.1...v.2...v.3...") but with all the cleanup work I was doing, I forgot. It's totally my fault and I am sorry, for what it's worth
