It was the best video there and you know it :p

My other faves, The ELO/Metropolis and the Afro Ken ones also got diddly.

On Always, I never noticed the different eye colors on Rei in the video early on until I saw it on the big screen. The use of colors in Always is just amazing.

I did shout out "Go The Rock!" when Will's video was about to start, though.

Maybe the question is when you actually Stopped the Rock.

At least in the first showing- unfortunately at the showing on Saturday in Video 1 it was damn near impossible to see anything properly because of how washed out the images the projector was showing were. I think this hurt Always more than anyhting else I saw because of how it destroyed the overlays...

Actually, it would seem that you were the one who Stopped the Rock...

I'm glad a number of you enjoyed WLtFO so much.

It was a rather hard one to categorize, though- I submitted it as Upbeat but the prejudging changed it to Comedy, and I think it fit equally well in both categories. I really can't complain that much though- for a video that was pretty much just made to showcase a silly show and to get my wife to stop pestering me about making an Afro Ken video, I'm really happy with how well received it has been.

And as has been said before, there were no bad videos in the contest- I think just about any of them could likely have won someplace less cutthroat than Otakon. And even the videos that did not make the contest got a good amount of play as well- I don't think I ever stopped by the video room where the overflow tapes were being played to find it less than full.

Hmm...I just wanted to point out that I didn't wanna create this thread to have people bash other videos. We all have our own opinions as to what should've won and what we voted for, but it's not that tasteful to start comparing and so on.

Given, praise is fine, but let's not get into a "Video X got screwed" or "Video Y shouldn't have won." The vote was based on the audience and the audience has spoken. I fundamentally don't like audiences determining "Best of XYZ," but that's what Otakon chose and the only thing we could do was vote ourselves.

Sorry to sound a bit bitchy, but I'm sure some of the people whose videos we have mentioned might be a bit angry. Again, nothing wrong with praise which most people have been doing.

Given, I didn't entirely know if I was hearing it right (yes I was THAT out of it and nervous), but after Quu confirmed it, it would appear the audience was clapping to the beat in my song.

I might add that my song is a VERY slow Love Ballad and I am a bit perplexed as to why anyone would clap to the beat (which is like once every two seconds).

Don't get me wrong though, I had a blast and enjoyed every minute of it.

Isn't the name of Nappy's video "Stop the Rock?" with a question mark? It would appear that your question has been answered Nappy

Was hoping to retire it undefeated ;_;

Easiest way to do that is to never enter it anywhere. =P
