So you don't even know what you won against? That's just swell.

'Mwa ha' is more like 'With this, I can finally defeat super man and steal Lex Luthors gold!'. It wasn't a person attack or anything to spite you. I'm sorry if it came off like that.

I'm terribly sorry I misinterpreted a sentence fragment.

Your silence when I said "How could I have guessed that you would be a poor winner?", your further talk about "vengeance", and your whining above belie your apology.

That's not vengance about winning and who's better. That's vengance over the removal of subtitles!

So how do you know you deserved to win? Obviously you aren't a gracious winner, not only do you shove it in someone's face, you also aren't willing to watch the competition.

(sigh) I feel bad for the other winners. Their moment is being overshadowed by all this babble.

Who cares if I deserved to win? I slapped a bunch of cartoons together with sound from a movie to make something that would entertain me for 180 seconds. It's not like I'm curing cancer here.

You, as an editor, should care if you deserved to win or not. Winning when you shouldn't, doesn't mean you're a good editor. As an editor, you should be striving to become better, and if you honestly don't care if you deserved to win, then you probably shouldn't have, and probably shouldn't have entered, hell, you should probably quit making your "AMVs" altogether if you don't seem to care.

But making trailers is fun. o.O

trailer parodies aren't AMVs in my opinion.

Well here's something different... (I wanted to do this in a separate post anyway)

I thought the quality of the finalists this year was great. I was pleased to see an increase of comedy/upbeat videos. I was also surprised (but not in a negative way) to see several Weird Al videos. (three, was it?) There used to be complaints of overuse, but I haven't seen him used this much in a contest for a while.

I was just a little confused when the awards were announced. After years of showing the winning entries last, hearing that videos shown early in the playlist won awards was strange. I thought Jethro had won grand prize at first. (and there hadn't been time to make title slates, or something)

So congratulations to all the winners.

Congrats to the winners. It would have been nice to make it to the finals, but next yeah, ehh? ^)^

Where can I find the links to download the videos in the comp? I'm guessing the anime north forums?
