"LIVE IN '05" contest

You know, this whole live action contest thing is weird. I mean, Kusoyaro, Garylisk, and a bunch of other really kick ass editors are in it. I haven't seen their live action stuff. I am REALLY curious about how this is going to turn out.

Kham...I would say that this is the most ground breaking idea to come along in a long time.

Thanks for dragging some of us away from the giagantic multi editor bandwagon for a while. The whole editing community is a winner if only for the fact that so much attention was taken away from damn DDR ten million and ROS umpteen thousand, and fsking Animix one billion. Screw multi editor projects. Fresh ideas are what's needed!

ONE DAY LEFT!!! as for the posting of the entries. i will post the winner. Due to the lack of people actually entering im not gonna go through the hassle of hosting the other vidsm so only 1st and 2nd place will be announced. Although i am happy with the entries i have recieved, I am however a bit sad that the people who said they were gonna enter never did. It would have been good to see entries from some of you guys. Oh well

Hsien, i could have sworn you told me to not submit the two you gave me cause you were gonna make a couple more. But if you want the two you sent to be in it. thats cool , its just , couple of judges have seen these vids prior to this contest and it migth not score well if they are all like OH IVE SEEN THIS ONE. But its all good

Rut, I appreciate the backup in all this shit man. unfortunately I just couldnt get this contest out there like i thought I would. Maybe me and you can organize this shit for a diff contest later one.

So we pretty much know who won with what we have recieved so far. but if anyone has anything up their sleeve NOW IS THE TIME .

Sorry...life, work, and such interfered. But the "blind" judging didn't come up until way after the contest had been announced, so I hope you take that into consideration.

Well, I think that the most important elements of this contest are, regardless of the number of entries, a very large amount of interest in an underexplored genre of editing was generated. Before you came up with this idea, I had never done a live action video, or seen one (other than actual pro commercial videos, of course.) Since you came up with the idea, I have edited more live action videos than AMVs, and gotten a lot better at both.

The other very important element is, I hope that these few live action videos you received made your birthday special. You kind of slipped away from the editing community for a while, but you obviously never left the hearts of your fellow editors. I was a little worried about you, since the last time I saw you, you were playing with big weapons while, errr....sorting some substances on the Kham-cam...but you are back and uninjured and un-incarcerated, so it's all good.

Finally, I would guess that your first live action contest still went better than some other people's first attempts at running a contest. I'm excited for the next Khameleon808 sponsored contest, and judging by the live action vid you just released, the standards are gonna continue to be high.

Good luck everyone!

Rut, Well said.

I was very happy with the submissions, new and old. I am really excited to have a better organized contest next time. Perhaps you would like to help run it with me o.O

Hsien,

Yes the blind judging was a bad idea and I wish I hadnt been approached by the question on how it was gonna be done about halfway through. and next time it will be public more than likely so everyone can view each persons vids and either be inspired or shotdown to making one

It might be later today when I talk to the last judge and see what they came up with.

Everyone that entered , THANK YOU !!! I really appreciate it , same goes to those who were inspired to work on theirs as well. I hope to see ya vids next time.

even tho i didn't finish mine, i still want to finish it. the contest was a great challenge for me to try something new. live action videos are a different beast (to me at least). hopefully i'll finish my video sometime soon so you can at least see what would've won the contest

BAH!! If Aqua would just set up a live webcam feed from Florida, it would pwn us all in terms of live action camgirl hawtness. I think that would have been just the thing for Kham for his birthday. Unfortunately, Aqua was busy editing the most emotionally scarring AMVHell footage I have ever seen, and could not bring herself to dress secksy.

Oh well, I guess I will have to ask Farlo for some footage from AWA.

Well, Kham....I have heard some results from you and the other editors in the contest, but nothing official on here...so I have a request.

Could we see a list of who entered, how many videos were in the contest, etc? I read through all ten pages of the thread, and saw a buttload of "I am TOTALLY entering this contest" and even more "Oh NOES, deadline!!!!! Sorry Kham-dude, that I didn't get a video in to you in time. Do this again soon, but like not for a couple of years, because I have teh editors blockage!!!111one"

I am just curious how many people entered, and how many videos there were in the contest. That way, I can start soliciting the other editors for copies of their LAVs. I'm sick of watching mine...
