You know...I feel like he has just completely destroyed the magic of what I love about Haibane Renmei. It's a technically superior video (great, he knows how to do After Effects, whoop dee doo). And it's a wonderful depiction of the darker side of the story but ... it's just so wrong.

Something about it is just not right. Too much of a 'Euphoria' clone maybe - seizure inducing flashes? I totally disagree with his opinion that this music should have been for the series. But it's certainly deserving of winning the Masters.

Not to be a party-pooper, but I suggest we keep this thread positive instead of talking about who should've won or what video was a clone of what. This is just a thread about winners, nothing about who we thought should've won or if we thought a video did something "bad." Those comments should be kept to ourselves or in an opinion.

Just my two cents and I apologize for the comment, but I'd like to steer the thread away from such things like every "award" thread seems to go these days.

It just boils down to the fact that I'm selling out...

Nothing wrong with it. It just gives me a bizzare feeling when I watched it. Like I said, I'm glad it won. It's just a weird video. I loved Vic's Noir video, but I know some didn't. He did what he wanted and that's great. More power to him.

I could be wrong or perhaps they just didn't show them because of time. I am 99.9% sure they didn't show them and announce anything at the ceremony like they did for the videos they couldn't show b/c of content (Moneyshot). I'd imagine he would've announecd it with those. Then again, Paul did work with Wagner so *shrug*.

Hopefully I'm wrong.
They played everything except Moneyshot and one other (Excessive gor??) because of content. They played everything else that won something.

However, they didn't have enough time to show all the Pro or Masters videos because of time...
Yeah, but were you saying Doujin Addiction and Fire were shown or not? Because I was there the whole time and thought I saw all the awards other than the two you mentioned (due to content). Maybe I fell asleep or something *shrug*.

Doujin Addiction and Fire were not shown at the award ceremony, and they weren't one of the three videos not shown but announced, and I'm 100% sure I was awake the whole time.

Alrighty. I just wanted to steer clear of the negativeness that almost every awards thread goes down and wanted to catch it early.

A Vandread video won best techo, not sure of it's name, and I don't believe they showed a various award for Expo, only for Pro I think, and I can't quite remember what video it was.

The best Various for Pro was Vlad's "We Want You" video to "In the Navy" by the Village People.
