AMV badges? Are ye referring to special seating, or is there a new thing now with cons, where AMV finalists are presented with the AMV Badge of Valor, which possess awesome powers?ForeverZeroo wrote:Woo for making it.
Anyone know if we get AMV badges?
No, you *still* didn't make it in. Entry #7 is *my* video.Castor Troy wrote:I totally didn't make it in... oh wait..
I think he means like the kind they gave out at Otakon to the AMV contest participants - they (well, we *obligatory self-plug*) got a special badge that allowed us to bypass the AMV wait line and get into special seating- though I think you've heard about that, or if not, you've heard of a similar situation. Since I haven't heard about them, I doubt these exist for the contest?Editinghermit wrote:AMV badges?

If yes for the second question, then I need to acquire these badges!
I want awesome powers!!!Editinghermit wrote:AMV badges? Are ye referring to special seating, or is there a new thing now with cons, where AMV finalists are presented with the AMV Badge of Valor, which possess awesome powers?ForeverZeroo wrote:Woo for making it.

Especially considering how small the main events actually is. Yeah the badge idea is cool, but I have like 3-4 friends that I hang with and also want to go. We're peas in a pod at these things. I forget how many badges each finalist for Otakon got last year, but I was generously offered one from a finalist, though I couldn't take it. Luckily we just walked right in and sat down. There were a lot of empty seats towards the front. I think it was because of the concert.Miracle_Falcon wrote: I think he means like the kind they gave out at Otakon to the AMV contest participants - they (well, we *obligatory self-plug*) got a special badge that allowed us to bypass the AMV wait line and get into special seating- though I think you've heard about that, or if not, you've heard of a similar situation.

As for the case of the second set of badges, however, if they don't already exist, you're the one in charge of the contest, dude, does that not grant you the magical power to create such AMV Badges of Valor? Either way, might I suggest the power that it grants be "instant video editing," where it magically installs adobe premiere into your head?
Otakon, you got two badges for friends... And how small do you think the main events hall is?NightMistress85 wrote:Yeah the badge idea is cool, but I have like 3-4 friends that I hang with and also want to go.

I don't recall the main events hall being that much smaller than other conventions, or are they using a different room as the main events hall this year? Thanks. So you got 3 overall then? Yeah, see I'd still need more. Maybe one of them should enter a video (in a different category than meMiracle_Falcon wrote:Otakon, you got two badges for friends...

I remember it being about one half to two thirds the size of Omni's main events hall. Maybe they will open up another hall though for Katsu to make it longer. It definitely won't be getting any wider.
There will definitely be Finalist badges of awesomeness in the future! Yeah, I would also lean more towards 1/2, but I figured I'd try to be a little more generous since it's been a while since AUSA.Editinghermit wrote: Yup, right on about the size issue. Main events this year is a lot smaller. The size estimate of about 1/2 to 2/3 is about right. I would lean towards the 1/2 myself. Unfortunately, preferred seating is not being utilized this year. I have been discussing with the Katsu Con staff about doing that for K16. If it pans out, man oh man, this thread has given me ideas, and I thank you all!
(Although I would really prefer the awesome badges where after effects installs in your head ALONG with premiere. I'll take a side of Photoshop with that, too!)
Sorry about the seating. And yeah main events is smaller. And since our Friday screening finally has a later time attached, people will (hopefully) be coming on down, instead of waiting in the reg lines. I've already warned the Katsu staff that we may need an emergency overflow room if things get busy!
So C'MON DOWN if you're gonna be at con, and LET'S make this joint MAD MAD BUSY!!!
Finally, I'll be leaving tomorrow morning for con, so if anyone does have any questions, I won't be able to read them. HOPEFULLY my laptop can find a temporary online home while at con!
Thanks again, everyone, for everything you've done for the K15 AMV Contest! Hope to see ya down there!
WOO HOO!!!!!
