Katsucon 15 AMV Contest FINALISTS

[NightMistress85]

Yeah the badge idea is cool, but I have like 3-4 friends that I hang with and also want to go. We're peas in a pod at these things. I forget how many badges each finalist for Otakon got last year, but I was generously offered one from a finalist, though I couldn't take it. Luckily we just walked right in and sat down. There were a lot of empty seats towards the front. I think it was because of the concert.

Otakon, you got two badges for friends... And how small do you think the main events hall is? I don't recall the main events hall being that much smaller than other conventions, or are they using a different room as the main events hall this year?

Thanks. So you got 3 overall then? Yeah, see I'd still need more. Maybe one of them should enter a video (in a different category than me ) and hopefully everyone makes the finals. Then we'd all be good to go.

I remember it being about one half to two thirds the size of Omni's main events hall. Maybe they will open up another hall though for Katsu to make it longer. It definitely won't be getting any wider.

Yup, right on about the size issue. Main events this year is a lot smaller. The size estimate of about 1/2 to 2/3 is about right. I would lean towards the 1/2 myself. Unfortunately, preferred seating is not being utilized this year. I have been discussing with the Katsu Con staff about doing that for K16. If it pans out, man oh man, this thread has given me ideas, and I thank you all! There will definitely be Finalist badges of awesomeness in the future!

(Although I would really prefer the awesome badges where after effects installs in your head ALONG with premiere. I'll take a side of Photoshop with that, too!)

Sorry about the seating. And yeah main events is smaller. And since our Friday screening finally has a later time attached, people will (hopefully) be coming on down, instead of waiting in the reg lines. I've already warned the Katsu staff that we may need an emergency overflow room if things get busy!

So C'MON DOWN if you're gonna be at con, and LET'S make this joint MAD MAD BUSY!!!

Finally, I'll be leaving tomorrow morning for con, so if anyone does have any questions, I won't be able to read them. HOPEFULLY my laptop can find a temporary online home while at con!

Thanks again, everyone, for everything you've done for the K15 AMV Contest! Hope to see ya down there!

WOO HOO!!!!!

Yeah, I would also lean more towards 1/2, but I figured I'd try to be a little more generous since it's been a while since AUSA.

Thanks for trying to work out the preferred seating. Just gonna have to get in line this year. Next year should be great for new beginnings. A new hotel (hopefully) and a new contest format. Fun times fun times. Have a safe drive down!! I'm trying to recall if I got any internet for free in that hotel...

Guess we're gonna be getting to the AMV contest early, aren't we? I'm good with that - builds the kinda suspense I enjoy.

[ForeverZeroo]

Man ...i guess that means you gotta get there like an hour early or so....like Otakon @.@

Yeah, sounds like it. I will try to get din din early and then monitor how the line looks. If you guys spot a Claire Redfield cosplay (Code Veronica version) walking around or waiting in line, that's probably me, so feel free to say hi since it looks like there won't be any official meet and greets .

I'm not gonna be there on Friday, sadly D=, so hopefully the second showing on Saturday won't have as long lines XD

Well, well, today's the big day, people. Everyone set?

Huzzah! I got net power! (Had to pay for it though. . . . BLEH)

Nice to meet ya at con!

And yeah, I may not be able to say anything specific yet. . . . but, yes. . . new hotel is in the works for next year. Think big, people. BIG. Gonna be something, I'll tell ya that much!!!

Time to get back to work! To the dealers room!

Nah, I think lines should be stable. Saturday starts around 3-ish and it is in both Vid 1 and Vid 2. Should be safe, as there are other activities going on at the same time in the con.

Hope to see you there!
