We have 50-60 minutes of time and a video showing room with a DVD player and a video projector. What we need is basic information concerning AMVs and recommendations of what videos to show. We are going to talk about the history of AMVs, making of AMVs, legal matters and the current situation in the field of AMVs. I couldn’t find any web pages that had general information about AMVs. Are there any (if you leave the a-m-v.org out)?
If we have enough time we'll show some of our own AMVs and some from other people. We will of course ask for permission from the creators and try to get a bigger copy to show at the con. I have thought about this a lot over these past few days and downloaded more videos that are generally con sidered to be good. I think that we pretty much know what videos to show from Arctic Tribe's videos (3 videos). Choosing what other videos to show is much more difficult IMO. I think that at least we should show these videos:
Odorikuruu by aokakesu (Aokakesu Digital)
Engel (Kevin Caldwell) by Kevin Caldwell
Right Now Some-one Is Reading This Title by dokidoki (Doki Doki Productions)
I'm not sure if there is a bigger version of Caldwell's video. Maybe Quu has a bigger version of Engel? If we still have time left we could show these videos:
Sappy Self-Indulgence by Kusoyaro (Kysoyaro Productions)
Euphoria by Koopiskeva (Random Variable Productions)
Always by Trythil
I'm not picking these videos out of personal preference. I would need hours of time to show all the videos that I would like to show. From the various occasions that I've shown videos to people at home Sappy Self-Indulgence has always made a big impact on people. The goal here is to make as many people get into AMVs as possible. Maybe we will get more time next year. Are there other videos that would be good crowd pleasers?
We're going to give out CDs with our studios videos in it after the presentation. Shameless self-promotion.
Do people want quantity over quality? Should we have a CD with many videos (in mpeg-1 format) that are bad quality but don’t require any codecs or a fancy computer or fewer videos with better quality and put the necessary codecs with the CD?We’re also going to print out papers to give out to people at the con with information about AMVs. I know that we’re a bit late in organizing all of this. Now I have even more respect for people that run AMV screenings and competitions. It’s a lot of work and there are so many things that you have to take into consideration. Thanks for reading.

How did you know that Apocalyptica is one of my favorite bads? Endure is IMO the best of Fluxmeister’s videos. I’ll do that review for it some day Fluxy. I promice.

Because of that video I now own Bastard on DVD and two albums from Kamelot. If it were just up to me, I'd be sure to show one of your videos. I don't know how this always turns to reviews but I've been meaning to write that review to Dark Legacy all over again. I'm not satisfied with it right now.
