Otakon AMV Contest Results

[EBwiz]

Go South Jersey Editors!

What's with the segregation? I'd say Central Jersey made a pretty good showing as well, what with <a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... 708">first place in Upbeat/Rhythm</a> and <a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... 60">second place in Humorous/Satirical</a>. 8)


(At least. If any of the other winners are also North/Central Jerseyans, I apologize for not knowing it.)

With Vic, You and Seen, we basically covered *all* of New Jersey. (Least, I think Edison is torwards the north... I dunno) Either way, you guys all represented the homefront damn well. One of the only times I'm proud to be a New Jersey resident!

(Wow, sad huh?)

VegettoEX and I are also from New Jersey, and we were also finalists in the contest, so... yeah, more Jersey coverage! There are more people from there than I originally thought.

All the talk about Jersey, but eventhough I didn't win I have to say that I think I made a good stand not only for my home state of Maryland, but Pasadena right outside of Baltimore. Anyway, I really enjoyed seeing my amv on the big screen, plus I was moved that the crowd interacted with my video, clapping along during the black and white part of the video. This here gave me even more insperation to strive for the finals next year. I hope I can do it again. I know I can if I put my mind to it. I want to relive the experience at Otakon XII next year. Well everyone enjoy the amvs that are currently out from the contest and keep checking for the ones that aren't in the future.

Remember making amv's is about having fun. Tell the story as you want it told. Everyone has there own technique just go with what you feel is right and if a scene isn't right then its not right. Don't force it, don't rush it. Keep your same motivation throughout the whole video and don't lose sight of it. Well everyone I'm glad that the amv contest was great this year I look forward to more contest in the future.

I honestly still believe that William Milberry (Aluminum Studios) should have won the Drama catageory. From what I heard he was a bit unhappy that the Eva/Linkin Park video won.

I was disappointed. The Eva video was very well done, but it was nothing new. I'd like to see more original and creative or artistic videos winning. Naturally I would have liked to have won but I would have also been really happy if Versailles Paradise had won. That video definitly required some thought to make. Unfortunatly audiences tend to gravitate towards things that they are familiar with and are easy to understand rather than thinking about the video before judging it.

I also would have liked to have seen Scintilla's Eva/Bebop opening win because it was very unique - it was something new to my eyes which is something that I prefer to see in any type of fan art. I was happy Vic's video won though.

One of the best things about fan art in my opinion is seeing new things. While well done, the Eva/Linkin Park video didn't really represent anything new or an aspect of Eva that hasn't already been explored several times.

I would like to congratulate all of the winners and everyone who made it into the contest. I heard there were 209 videos sent int - being one of the 15% to make it in is no easy task.

I agree the Eva video didn't show anything new, but I voted for it personally because it presented it extremely powerfully. Don't get me wrong, Every video was just as awesome as the next this year, that was just how I felt.

that Eva/Bebop video was fantastic. that personally was my vote for Best In Show.

a few months back, Vic sent me his video and i proclaimed he had a winner on his hands...of course his modesty wouldnt allow him to believe it. congrats on that man, great work.

the Eva video set to Numb by Linkin Park of course got alot of pop for two reasons...1) Eva...2) Linkin Park. combine them both with good editing and of course you have yourself a potentional contest winner because the crowd would be able to understand everything about the video and be like "omg." im not taking points against it, but i seriously enjoyed the Ayashi no Ceres video that went against this one. but in the end, the audience decided on the best video.

i am still just happy to represent CT in the contest thou =)
did my job, now i just need to do it better next year.

Yeah...that really was a great video. Just the fact that it came from a Dreamcast "dating sim" makes me love it. Overall a wonderful contest. I wish my video had made it but after seeing the competition, I now know that I need ALOT of work *_*!
