You have to find the balance between putting on a fair contest and giving the audience the best show you can. i think this year's contest accomplished that, and a good chunk of credit for that i think goes to the number of quality videos entered the judges had to choose from. It took a step towards...

That just leads to catering to your audience, which i have a problem with many times. There are reasons major blockbusters typically don't win academy awards, even though they please the fans. The question is, what is the purpose of the AMV contest, and what makes a good AMV need to be more widely a...

Here is a great example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tS-gd9eT30 Lord of the Rings Trailer music to Totoro. The video was made not to MOCK the original but to make something NEW. This is probably a little late/petty but can i say your entire argument is invalid because you said twice that the vi...

Audio/Video Quality You need to elaborate on this heavily, because I've seen videos in the finals that have some pretty awful video quality. Tends to be more common in comedy than any other category (also Fun/OVA this year) But i don't think that they should be DQ'd because of it, but there is obvi...

Since Yue mentioned my name, let me throw in my 2 cents... *snip* 1) Does the judge understand what they are going to be watching... Do they understand the basics of editing. Can they differentiate between a video that consists of simple edits and one that consists of many layers of compositions. C...

Would it be possible to know how the judging is based, (ie a score system or point system or RT-style meta-number with a threshold) as well as how the people who didn't make the cut scored relative to the other videos? Maybe a little more transparency? I know this would be asking a lot but i think i...

I spoke to Ryvannis about running a panel like this in the future (probably not next year, but maybe the year after) which covers more of the creative aspect of videos than the technical and how to help people connect with audiences and win contests. My tentative title is "How to make winning AMVs ...

21 pages to siphon through. Some things i want to comment on and i'm not sure where to begin. 1) AMV contest was great, i wasn't able to get to the pre-show because i had to man a booth, and maid cafe right after that chained into the contest, grats to the winners and overall a great show. 2)What is...

I see what you did there...
