who else is upset by the events of AX 2003

Actually yes the Iron Chef competitors are my call. Quu did make the request for ErMaC, but Tim was partly my call, SpPanda was my call for my "on deck competitor".

Tim is the Fanime "IRON CHEF" of 2003

If we have Iron Chef return and if Tim returns he will have to defend at Fanime against a competitor of my chooseing. If he doesn't I reserve the right to select an "acting" champion until Tim returns. I have talked to a few people regarding my personal wishes for "1 of " the possible upcomming Fanime Iron chef events I have planned.

currently Fanime AMV is beign re-tweeked to be even better than this year and with a 4 day show adds the possibility of several expansions to our improving AMV programs ( perhaps even a dedicated "Henati" AMV contest )

Nothing for Fanime has yet to be arranged or confirmed.... mainly becasue I am taking it easy for the time being since it is a pain to organize a large event like this in any regard.

But good job to all of the AX AMV creators, AX staff for a pretty good show, a bit bumpy, but I know more than most how hard it can be behind the sceens to put together a monster of an event like this.

Oops! Sorry. At least with ACen and AWA I know it's his call so I thought it would be the same. Guess it's wrong to assume all cons would do it the same. Anyway...

Man... Fanime is sure shaping up to be the west coast AWA. If we really can push this whole AMV scene at Fanime I would be extatic because it is my home convention. It would be great if we could have more contests and AMV related events.
Splendid, Scott. Thanks again (even if you didn't recognize my face at AX. ~_^)

nah its just that we didnt withdraw from cons we previously submitted to after winning

Nappy wrote: It wasn't booed at Fanime for trolling, I think it was booed because of the Yatta song, it also got applause when it said the yatta song is the music in the title.

thanks for that info, id much rather believe that lol

Ashton wrote: First off, that damn Yatta video is a troll. How many contests has it won? It should have been disqualified before it got there. I was pleased with how Fanime Con handled the situation: it was booed out of the contest without any awards.

well gee, thanks a lot.

ive defended myself enough, even attempted to withdraw from fanime, but oh well. personally, i would never boo the work of another nor would i want others to do such a thing to a fellow creator, regardless of its performance at other conventions.

and congrats to all the winners of AX, wish i coulda been there

You're right, it probably shouldn't have been booed. But it was, I don't care what Richard says, I was there, there was very loud booing section. I'll stop speculating at that group's reasoning, but it happened.
In terms of the judging at AX goes, can you really support what this guy said? Were the judges were unfair? Should we go back to the sound meter gig so that the louder chearing core audience gets to select the winner?
Richard made a good point after the masquarade: there was a certain well known AMV creator that sat in front of the AMV group of seats at the masqaruarade and made fun of the people coming on stage, so Richard said to me, "What if **** ****** were to show his video in front of the crowd, and everybody around him sat and heckled it? How would he feel then?" So, yes, BaHaRa, you're right, booing is unnacceptable. The only acceptable audience response to a creative work should be clapping or nothing.

i dont know what the best way of judging is, and so i am fine with leaving that up to people more experienced than i (the ax crew). im sure the judging was just fine, and i have no right to complain nor any reason to.

The Best Form of Judging is the Magical Duck Method.

A duck is put onto a stool and allowed to watch the videos.

The duck quacks when a winning video is played.

Simple, efficient, and unquestionably scientific.

Actually his vid was shown at closing it ppl heckled and booed it remember o_o but I doubt he was there.
