Nan Desu Kan 2018 AMV Contest *Finalists and Winners*

[TheLightMusicClub]

Did mine happen to be shown at the meet and greet? It was the "We Rock" one.

It was my first time doing one so would appreciate feedback.

[DopplerDo]

Hey I'm not sure what you submitted, Pemblem, but if you want feedback, I'm happy to oblige ! What are you looking for as far as feedback goes?

Happy Thoughts! (The one with 140 animes)
Just trying to get some second opinions. I’m aware of the typo at the beginning, but anything else I can do to improve?

I can't find Happy Thoughts on YouTube or the Org! Maybe post it in the feedback forum and DM me the link to the post?

I don't think names were called out. So I can't tell which one was yours. But if you send me a link I'll give you some feedback on it if you'd like.

[Pemblem]

Oh yeah... I probably should have mentioned that I only submitted my amv to the convention... sorry about that. I wanted to keep it on the down low until after the con, but here’s the Dropbox link that I gave to a few friends and family for their feedback. I don’t want to put this on YouTube or this site until I fix that typo in the beginning.

(Boo hoo I have crippling anxierty lol)

[DopplerDo]

Boom. Just dropped you some feedback via DM. Welcome to the community, Pemblem !

[PieandBeer]

ok so this may be jumping the gun a bit and i apologize! but i saw some photos of the ballots and it doesnt seem like editor names are included alongside the videos. if this is true, i can see this being an issue, as sometimes reupload channels have the only copy of mine and other editor's videos online due to copyright issues. additionally, theres a risk that people might misremember the video and think that a video with the same combo is the video they saw at the con. Is there a way in the future to have the editor names included? or are they included currently somewhere else on the ballot than where the vids are?

The editor names are shown before and after each entry during the contest.

Also, here's an unofficial post of the winners from today's award presentation:

Best Action: Are You Ready - chiikaboom
Best Fun/Upbeat: Down the Road - dopplerdo
Best Category X: Dango Dango Literature Club - Marikoamv
Best Drama: Dream the Impossible - Becauseimbored1
Best Comedy/Audience best of show: A Dying Bread - Kisanzi
Best Local: Betrayal - The_Mclaughlin
Best GMV: False Shepherd - Pieandbeer
Editor best of show: Reprieval - Ryuu-dono

Congrats to all fellow winners and hopefully the full finalists list is posted soon!

[Trevorius]

I'd like to second PieandBeer's complaint about editor's names not being on the ballot. When I'm watching the contest I usually try to make dots on the take-home portion of the ballot next to which videos I like so I can look them up when I get home. Having the editor names on there would make it a lot easier to find the video I am looking for! For instance, it took me a couple tries to find Dopplerdo's vid thanks to 'Random Road Trip' and some other older things. (Though I will say, what the contest has now sure beats out the old system of not having a take-home portion at all!)

Congrats to all the winners! And Kisanzi - hurry and upload your best in show winner!
