Iron Chef cook off

So what exactly do you do for an AMV Iron Chef Cook Off? Is an anime or song announced and you have so much time to make a video with it?

Within the context of Ushicon, we all went to Wonka/Beowulf's house and 2 of us brought computers (MJ and Machine). That gave a total of 4 computers. There were 9 editors (I stayed out to make it an even 8 ) and 4 of us could edit at a time (two 1:1 matches). The remaining 5 editors were judges and would choose the song while the contestants could choose any anime within Wonka/Beo's collection. The editors are given 1.5 hours (not including ripping DVDs and final renders) to edit what they can. The remaining 5 editors judge the 1:1 battles. Make sense?

Would notebooks help? I am thinking of bringing mine. Or does it have to be a PC

I'm thinking about doing the same thing since I am gonna buy a notebook in about a month or so. However, I do think it'll be a bit more difficult editing on a tiny screen with a crappy mouse (although I could buy a mouse). I think I'd miss my uber-computer to much. Maybe I'll be dumb and bring that along with my LCD

...but also extremely stressful. You should've seen the 8 of them editing. I have never heard curse words used that way (in a not-making-sense sort of way). I am very glad that I passed (since I was already becoming sick...which I still am after a week

)

I am a bit frustrated though since the song Jonathan (Adiamante) and BigDave got was a good one and I think if I did participate it would've been against Jonathan. Maybe I'll make a video to that song anyway...a real music video

Looks like Ushicon might be known for its little IRON CHEF square off with multiple editors.

Will the Wonka Casa be big enough to hold all of us?

I doubt the con would give us any room.

ph34r the buffer!

Mi casa es su casa

It was alot of fun. Perhaps Ushi will donate a room to us next year, as I think we made a good impression on them at the Expo and at the advanced amv panel. If not, my house it is.

Im not sure, but I dont think we are gonna Iron Chef at Akon, as the only people who live in Dallas are MJ and Bige Dave, so computer transportation may be a bit more difficult, but we will see.

What Im disstressed about is the appearence of so many org memebers who said they attended Ushi, but I never met

I agree. I think they quite enjoyed our company and entertainment and hopefully it will be enough to get a round for 2 hours or so for the competition. I mean it won't AWA in terms of audience or organization, but I'm sure a few people would watch and it'd be nice to have more room. We'll see next year!

P.S. Willem - I think Brad (AtomX) wants to do an Iron Chef some time soon...possibly you, me, Brad and your brother. <shrug>

Yea what was the deal with that? I only ran into Non-Professional a few times and chatted with him but I think he was scared away by J-bone because of the whole EK/Account Hi-Jack thing.

Who else was there?

Me to Wonka I wish I would have met more that just the one guy that saw my tag. but it looks like I did meet one (Danny Wilson) but I did not know that he was an AMV'er.
