Itīs a VIEWERīs choice award. Ever dealed or lost in such an award? Yes? Than you might think different about what viewers actually like to see. So this is what the viewers wanted and itīs good though.
Results that bug me (only mentioning videos I watched):
Best Character Profile Spoil Darius GQ (+2)
Sry, but I think that there were much better ones this year for a chracter profile.
Most Artistic Video Magic Pad Nostromo_vx
Disagree.
The rest: Who cares. Itīs viewerīs choice award and editors have theire JCA so whatever. I still want to win an VCA no matter how much people bitch about it. -
Project prognose + possible release?

Deadline for the ftp submission of the Tekkoshocon AMV Contest for 18+ content. Good. I donīt know if this amv might be heavy enough for this contest or too heavy to host on the org uncensored. Mhm... Letīs take this as a deadline. Around one month. Should be in the possible.
My prognose:
People will love and dislike the vid, because itīs again my special taste. Well maybe it gives me a surprise like Deus Machina? Anyway: I donīt really care. In the end I have to like it ;P
Iīm more interressted into how good I can fullfill the concept on an editing and effect base. Right now it feels a bit slack. A lot of details are missing and without the effects for colours and atmosphere the vid just looks too randomn and well... crappy? I mean: The harmony of the colours of the scene isnīt there yet.
I would like to make my next project with a song of another of my favorite bands. Maybe with Marcross Zero. It seams to fit to this great song. Mhm... I should get and watch it first though xD
Or maybe with Ergo Proxy? That would work too. - 2008-02-23 07:38:54 Alright. I recovered my project successfully with an older version. *phew*

I canīt believe. If I wouldnīt have made a security copy of my project file, months of work would be wasted now. I canīt believe it... this is just too... argh. This was soooo close! .-.
I still feel stones in my stomach. Anyway: There MUST be a way to recover it somehow even if the damage is easly fixed.
Do me one big favor kids: Whatever project youīre working now just make a savety copy of it now. Seriously =|
Yesterday I asked for the blankclip.avs file in #AMV, right? DONīT try to fix it yourself by searching the net for such a file. If you do it like me, you import complete wrong clip properties and you might never link back to the original ones because theyīre different.
I might find a way to fix it, but this method will only work for multiple scripts only with a lot effort.
Ah screw me. The end of the project was very close. Too close. Just today I realized that the basic editing isnīt that far away from beeing finished. -

omg. This titelscreen is pure fail! I hope I can make a much better one. Well letīs paste this little piece of clip into the timeline. As dummy it is good enough.
Mhm... The vid looks fine. Itīll be hard to compress. I guess the filesize will be a few MBs under 100. It looks sexy as lossless encode :3
85% of the intro is done. Just have to find a good soundeffect for the beginning and I have to fix the titlescreen.
At least I work on the project even if Iīm on it since october. I better finish this one and make work-breaks before I drop it though. This is still something special for me.
