If we accepted up to 2 hours of videos from each submitter, I think I'd STILL be watching AMVskholaras wrote:Lightweights, getting woozy and lightheaded after a measly 8 hour judging session. Try AWA's Expo sometime, which surprisingly only weighed in at 15 hours and 17 minutes back to back runtime. 2006 was a slightly more respectable 18 hours.
...man, I really shouldn't run statistics like this, it just depresses me.

Don't be. That's the point of contests like that.Pwolf wrote: having entered expo both of those years, i'm so sorry. I didn't know! I DIDN'T KNOW!
Kinda wish I could get to one of the other other cons, especially this one. It was a friend showing me the Otakon finalists back in (further back than I'd like to admit) that ultimately got me out to AWA and have been hooked since.

In his defense, on poo-on-you.tube, he says "animated music video" contest instead of anime, so perhaps he really had no clue at all that his obviously wouldn't qualify.Parodic Productions wrote: Not to start a flame war or to judge anyone, but WHAT THE FREAK WAS THAT!?
Now that has me thinking. Do even the top rated amv makers out there have enough amvs to tip the scale of 2 hours?VicBond007 wrote:If we accepted up to 2 hours of videos from each submitter, I think I'd STILL be watching AMVskholaras wrote:Lightweights, getting woozy and lightheaded after a measly 8 hour judging session.

That's his reply to a comment.rehdogg (1 month ago) wrote: I here you but this is for a anime music video contest
"an" "AN"! XD
...I actually think I could (not in videos posted to the org, I only upload about 1/4 of them...and regret even that much XD)NightMistress85 wrote:Now that has me thinking. Do even the top rated amv makers out there have enough amvs to tip the scale of 2 hours?

Looks like this year will be quite a year. The AMV contest has always been one of the main attractions for me, but this is the first time I'm in it. I actually thought there would be more in the Comedy/Trailer categories. Well, you know what they say. It's harder to make them laugh than it is to make them cry.

Yeah, participating definitely makes it different for me. Honestly though, looking at so many videos together like that, especially multiple ones for one series, it definitely speaks volumes when watching two totally different videos give you completely different vibes for the series before you've seen it. It's all in an editor's vision.Davis 51 wrote:Looks like this year will be quite a year. The AMV contest has always been one of the main attractions for me, but this is the first time I'm in it.
