That way the effervescence effect of watching in a huge audience can work to the fullest, as the video will be new to everyone there.
THAT i can actually understand. I even thought about it after i posted.

For me personally (as I clearly and respectfully stated on facebook) I don't like to hold onto projects. It could be my OCD, but having that constantly in the back of my mind aggravates me. Once I finish a project I want to be done with it. I don't want to carry a vain presumption over my work and assume it'll make finals (in any competition). All I would be doing is setting myself up for disappointment. Chances of making finals for AX are (relatively/statistically not taking into account the talent factor) 1 in 10 - Disappointment #1. And if I do make finals, what if the audience doesn't react like I'd hoped? Disappointment #2. I just spent 2 months in meaningless anticipation. It's not worth the stress to me. What's so terrific about premiering a video at a con anyway? How does this benefit the creator? Is it just the coordinators who want never before seen videos so their contest will come off all that more fantastic?

These are just my thoughts/opinions. This is where I stand and why I do what I do. I'm sure everyone else has their own reasons for doing what they do and all the more power to ya :up:

/drama :ying:
AMVs should all be about self-appreciation in your own work not from the audience's perspective in how they react to it. I understand the thought but I just can't grasp my head around it. I personally like to withhold my work on the basis of anticipation and proper release. But that's how I see it since everyone has different views.

For me it's whether the audience will like it or not. I like all the videos I make (for the most part) but for me I like that validation I get from the audience when they laugh or cheer when it's over. (or in the case of one of my hentai AMVs, vomit which has happened twice now)
Gimme a minute, I'll make a cool one....
