Another Anime Con 2011 - Final ballot posted - winners: pg7

[BasharOfTheAges]

The 2011 AMV contest rules for Another Anime Convention have gone live: http://www.anotheranimecon.com/?page_id=99

As you may be able to tell, our con theme this year is "70s Soul Train." I know it might be difficult, but I'm incorporating the con theme into the contest again. Our theme category is a go! Trippy vids, Psychedelic 70s dance music, even 70s anime are all fair game to use, but combinations of the 3 will increase your chances (and our enjoyment).

Feel free to drop any questions / concerns / comments here in the thread, PM me, or shoot an email to amvcontest@anotheranimecon.com

I have a small complaint....

1. All entries must have been created on or after October 14th, 2010.
2. The deadline for submitting videos VIA MAIL is September 23rd, 2011. The deadline for ONLINE SUBMISSIONS is October 1st, 2011 (23:59 EST).

I assume that these dates are the same every year. What happens to AMVs that are created within those 13 days, after the October 1st deadline and before October 14th? Are they just shunned away because the editors don't wait two weeks to finish their amvs?

I made an amv and finished it on October 3rd, 2010, so I had no chance to submit it to the con back then due to the deadline being passed...and now I can't submit it because it wasn't made after the 14th? Seems a little...unfair.

[BasharOfTheAges]

Our con's dates change a bit every year based on hotel availability and other factors. The start date is the date of the convention last year (plus or minus a fudge factor), and the end date is a point in time far enough away from the con date to facilitate a pre-screening with enough interested parties to render a fair list of videos together.

That said - this was a copy-paste error on my part that managed to sneak in. There shouldn't be a dead zone of time in there. I'll work on getting that sorted out. Fixed!

70s, eh. Maybe I'll finally make that Speed Racer video I've been wanting to do for so long. I assume the American Live Action remake would be against the rules, yes?

Yes. My contest isn't as cool as yours in that respect.

But... but the delicious eye candy, Justin! So many bright flashy colors!

I kid, I kid. I do have the first season of the original Speed Racer on DVD. And my boyfriend has all of the original Astro Boy, but I think that was 60s, not 70s...

[BasharOfTheAges]

I'm also looking for Extreme Iron Editor contestants and judges for this year. I'll supply more information as to the exact make-up of this year's EIE events later on, but the premise remains the same as in years past - 1 part competitive editing event, 1 part Japanese game show.

[kiarrens]

I'm willing to compete in EIE again if you'll have me, if not I would love to help Katy host, or judge.

I'm willing to compete in EIE again if you'll have me, if not I would love to help Katy host, or judge.

And I'd love to have you compete again, but there's always a chance a new challenger might appear.

That said... anyone interested in competing or judging should PM me or send an email to the above address (1st post). I'm currently stuck in the planning quandary of level of interest dictating format right now. This will be the 4th year of running this event, and each successive year has been run differently (1v1 with no judges, 2v2 with audience judging because of tie, 1v1v1 with champions and a panel of judges).

I'd like to keep a judging panel, so I need judges. I'd also like to keep teams out of it unless they were agreed upon beforehand and the people were comfortable working together. I liked the champion idea, and I was toying with the idea of having teams of editors where only one person edited and the other was a champion or where they could switch at their own pace.

[CorpseGoddess]

I just got an awesome idea for a video matching your theme. Whether or not I can actually pull it off it another matter. Let's find out. MWAHAHAHAHAHA.
