I kinda wanna watch fairy tale just so I can enter the fairy tale category, but I have too much stuff going on to catch up an that series. I'm about to start a new AMV for the Drama/ Romance category though. It would be awesome if I can make the finals for the third year in a row.

It's always a joy seeing your vid there every year too. I, sadly, won't be entering this year even though I wish I could be a finalist for the third year in a row.

I'll definitely be joining this year for the first time ^o^ I'll also be attending. I plan to make a video for the Drama/Romance category or Action, haven't decided yet.

Entering my fairy tail video this year. Can't wait for nyaf.

I've always wanted to work on a fairy tail amv, maybe this will get me motivated enough to do one.

[TritioAFB]

shit, I don't have something new
Might think about entering anyway

Go for it. Now you have the motivation, now you just need to put in the effort. (Hardest part, least for me)

I've edited a video in 1920x1080. I have a these resolutions also:
640x360
960x540
1280x720
1440x810

Footage from Five Centimeters Per Second
23.976 Frames per Second
H264 (x264 encoded)

Audio from Pendulum's Watercolor
1080 version contains FLAC audio - this is a specific area of interest, can you support FLAC or shall I use MP3?
other versions contain various MP3 bit-rates but If I can I'd like to submit a FLAC encoded variant.

Length 5:04

The opening sequence during the song introduction/build-up has dialogue from the first episode, with the characters having a light conversation about cherry blossoms before one of the characters runs off.
The full video also has karaoke subtitles and a Japanese translation as I created the video with the intention of showing it to a few friends here and there, including Japan.
I was recommended to enter it in a competition, and was pointed to newyorkcomiccon.com.

TL;DR:
I can upload a 640x360 with any audio format, depending on what you support.
I spent a day on the timed karaoke subtitles. Leave them or remove them?
Dialogue: yes or no?

If these two last aspects are likely to hinder me, I may as well not bother as I'd have to re-edit the whole opening and recompress the whole thing.

I've tried to e-mail this to them as well, but it keeps saying the e-mail doesn't exist. I really just want some critique on it as I just had the idea out of nowhere then two days later it's done.

I'm so entering this
