Videos should have a max length around 4 minutes. Over 5 minutes is right out

Nobody will even bother to submit to this thing...

Tell the Ushicon staff to fire the person running this!

I met these people. They blew myself and some others off like it was nothing. They are very self important and evidently, pretty elitist as well.

Jbone, I would definatly agree with your point...if they were applying it to a competition. But this is a showcase. What the fuck kind of showcase restricts its video length to 5 minutes or less and dosnt allow certain music and anime?
Maybe Im just sore, because these people were very very rude to me, treatment I was most certainly not deserving of.

If Ushi wasnt a large gathering of good friends that I only get to see a few times a year, I wouldnt even bother attending.

Carlos even voluteered to run it as a contest for crying out loud! and they just blew him off. Oh well maybe 2 months will be enough time for them to pull their heads out of their asses, Wake up and SMELL THE MAPLE NUT CRUNCH! Denis Leary moment, sorry. Anyways, since its only Austin, I think I'm gonna try to make it. ROAD TRIP!

wqhat the hell kind of contest is that. i mean restricting Linkin Park is understandable but there are still some good DBZ vids being made, like father and son, and a time length restriction? what the hell is wrong with these people. are they trying to look good in front of all the experienced AMV creators or something? god damn elitist assholes

and I thought Ushicon was a good con to go to.

Actually, most cons have time limits on videos. It makes it easier to fit more videos into the contest if they are shorter so more people can compete. 5 minutes is about what Otakon is...or 6 minutes.

MistyCaldwell: Yeah. Most cons to have time limits. Otakon's was 6 minutes and Shoujocon's was 7 minutes.

I still feel however that these rules are not needed. My friend Meridith "Meri" Cantoni did a video to the song "A Place for my Head" by Linkin Park and it's a very good video, considering it won 3rd place at Shoujocon. I will not be entering the showcase.

Looks like we may need to have the Mindwarp contest there and hijack some video rooms.
