Nice. I showed up a little too late for the primetime seats. I loved your video, btw... I had a really tough time choosing between it and "Business Time."

Ugh me too. I tried to solve that problem by voting one for Best Comedy and the other for Best in Show.

Chris Brown beat Rihanna haha. Although honestly, it went very well and Scintilla did a great job MCing. T'was awesome getting to meet so many editors too!

What showing were you at for the AMV Contest Corsair? I really enjoyed your video btw (I had actually already seen it on youtube and showed it to a few ppl, really impressive

!)

Hmm...I hope the videos for iron editor get posted soon, I wished I could have stayed to the end of iron editor, but due to scheduling snapxynith and myself had to split to go setup AMV 101 right after I picked up the trophies our video got. Was an honor to win both Best in Show and Comedy, and it also made it easier on snap and myself to share, lol...As the head of that video project the trophies got to spend one night together in my room before getting split up, lol...

I have to say it was a bunch of spectacular videos in the contest and I enjoyed the contest very much. Congratulations to all the other winners, real awesome job!

1st Place - Stupid AMV Title by Lucia Studios

I finally watched this video. I was really hoping to be the first person to use that audio in a AMV. Oh well. My idea is kinda similar, but I'm gonna go ahead and make my AMV anyway.

Awesome Con guys. Some cool finalists to watch. Had a very fun time meeting some editors in person. Can't wait till next year.

IT'S BUSINESS TIME!

I went to the Friday showing, which went very well in my opinion. Fantastic job on Business Time (Too lazy to call it by it's full title haha). It had me singing along and laughing all night! It was the perfect comedy vid this year that had the audience Addicted. (See what I did there?)

Oh cool, I was there on Friday too! Snap and I, as well as a friend of his, were up on the front row of the editors section all the way on the left side. Hope we weren't distracting, I tend to whisper a lot during shows cuz I get nervous, lol...

Also, to everyone, thanks for the compliments! I am just glad that everyone enjoyed it and I was super hyped to hear all the laughs and cheers for it. When they announced that it won, everyone around me was like "oh, go get ur prize" and I was like "nah, I'm gonna sit here and enjoyed the video and audience reaction one more time" lol...It was truly an honor to win at Otakon, definitely made my first trip there memorable...

...also, I think I win the longest title competition, lol...it barely fit in the box on the contest intro video, haha!

1st Place - Angels Made from Neon by SSGWNBTD
Runner-Up - Your Perfect World by irriadin

Congrats sir! They told me it was pretty close between your video and mine. I have no problems losing to you, though, because Angels Made from Neon is really good!

Now you know how I felt last year with my Gunsmith Cats video

Although "Fallen Souls" won by daylight and the battle for 2nd was much closer in my case.

It was nice to see the morning line (his and yours finishing 1-2 in pre-judging) dictated the actual results (his and yours finishing 1-2 in the popular vote). Makes for some lousy paying exactas in horse racing, but still, two well-deserved placements indeed.

As for the other results, I was shocked to see some morning line favorites get beaten out, and in some cases the top 2 in the pre-screeners didn't finish in the money in the popular vote (see Romantic/Sentimental). Plus, Scintilla's videos seem to get the most votes in its category every year he enters something!

I did get to see my video in the overflow on Sunday morning, and only a few souls saw it in that big room, so there was virtually no crowd reaction. Still, I was happy to see it play on the big screen. Makes me want to try harder for next year so I can get back in that finalist list!

You weren't distracting, I sat behind you +/- a seat.

It's a struggle for me to stay quiet too... I needed a 7th Inning stretch or something.

Congrats on your win, and congrats to everyone else!

Congrats to everyone, what a great contest this year!

I especially loved "Maya and Company." Normally I HATE videos using that show, I think this is the only time I have ever voted for one. It made me tear up.

Also, kudos to Chris on a well-deserved win, you trounced me, good sir!

Iron Editor was a very fun experience, thanks Vic for letting me compete!
