I just knew Senta was going to win. He really deserved it.
<mumbles> grr...why did Senta's video have to be right after mine?

j/k

I'm also surprised Tim didn't win. But yeah, that DDR video was really cool.

About average. Some videos got the requisite half second of clapping and some got serious applause (even non-competing videos). The only real notable event during the overflow screenings was on the second day. When Light of Day started to play, nearly half the room walked out. Beats me why.

Wrong category? I must have done that by mistake -_-;; oh well, I'm glad you guys liked it ^_^ it's up for download on www.otakuproductions.org

Too bad no one has a "Braindance" category at any convention.

Aww, thank you fungie

Actually I saw Digital God's video and I really liked it better than my own. I got to party with mckeed, jbone and digital god. You guys were really fun to hang out with

I learned one of mckeed's new favorite phone activities at the amv awards announcements

...won't say what it was though *snickers*

Matt Pyson said the honorable mentions and 2nd place videos should be released in about a week by email. I'll post the results here if someone doesn't beat me to it.

Quu saw my amv badge so I met him and saw Duane. And I saw someone in the 1:00 Saturday showing of the contest with the badge...but I didn't catch them to ask who it was.

After I rest I will write a full con thingy report. But after I sleep.

The Otakon contest this year was quite nice. Mad props to Matt and Duane for organizing it. Hopefully their reward for doing a good job includes a good night's worth of sleep. Finally met both Matt for the first time, and he looked extremely tired.

I wish I had the resources to print out Misty's badge, but I had already gone to MD by the time that it was posted and was out of luck. Wound up meeting DIGITALGOD, mckeed, jbone, and a couple others even without the badges. After seeing Hsien on the panel, I think he might've been the one that I sat next to during the first amv contest that I watched at Otakon 1999. I remember commenting to a friend that it'd be cool to be able to get a copy of the tape, and I think it was Hsien overheard and made a comment to the effect of "I used a great way of getting a tape of the contest video, I have a video in the contest and get a tape for it." This started me on the road of amv creation, so when my videos bore people or cause people to wince just remember that I wouldn't have started making them without having the incentive get the contest tape.
