Oh.... now I can't troll in the forum :aimkissyface:

But even the first time I joined ever AC, I was already aware of the presence of the thread of the entry. Oh well

Anyway, since we're talking about VCAs and not AKROSS:

It's been 10 years, and many things have happened during that time. Many editors, many videos, and the same hobby of always.

Although this was my first time getting involved into the VCAs I guess this edition was very decent. Hoping to see next year :awesome:

The funny facy is that I even didn't need the translations. I got them all :awesome:

But while in the amvnews several clips will get enough attention, when they come here, people is like: Should I watch it or not? or they will save the clips for watching later. That's very curious considering that there were a lot of editors that didn't know about Ru.Comix, and watched it until the VCAs started the nominations.

Bill, what about the Version 3? When it will be released?

TritioAFB, now we have only one good joke (14sec) and need for project about 50-60 (20-25min). Old makers haven't new good ideas and random noobs too. Most likely we will be able to make the 3'rd project only in 2013-2014 because didn't want to take everything like ssgwnbtd in AMV HELL 5.

Don't worry Bill Ein, it's not a matter of translation, it just doesn't make me laugh but the same thing goes for any parody MEP (even MEDNess which is French)

MimS, but you didn't watch Ru.Comix 2 is completely and the most interesting in the second half...
This is not what I call MEP in fact...
1 organizer of the project, 32 editors, 30 judges (organizer + some editors + some website users) - what is it if not the MEP? Maybe AMV HELL projects have 1 or 2 organizer = judges = editors and random editors clips, but not Ru.Comixes.

Yeah, I give you the point that I didn't really try to watch it but honestly, it's just a matter of taste : this is not what I expect from people working together. I don't have anything against comedy video, I love lots of them. Fact is, I love them where they're quite short (I mean, 3mins more or less), about a single and precise idea... Like Shin did it in Safety Dance, CrossFade in Under!Where or even Kosmit in many of his vids (Darkest of Places, Gay means Happy, Japanese People Flacking...) for examples.
Also, what I say this is not MEP to me it's because I just feel like there are gags put the one after the other and it's kinda... uninteresting for me. That doesn't mean you shouldn't do it, you do what you want, this is exactly what you claim earlier. But I would honestly prefer seeing you Russians making Vortex² than a 3rd Ru.Comix :rofl:

Though, once again, you got a point, I didn't really try to watch Ru.Comix² but I honestly doubt it makes me change my mind about that kind of vid. Just not my cup of tea.
My first MEPs as a viewer were RoS3 and Memory Flash you know, it just doesn't have anything in common with project like yours ^^

It seems like you prefer your MEPs to be collaborations, which is something else entirely.

MimS, in our project we help noobs and each other, we say what need to fix or fix themselves, we help with technique and story, we estimate and vote. Not "put the one after the other and it's kinda" only.

P.S.

Still "put the one after the other and it's kinda"?

Bill Ein That's actually true about the russian community, that's the reason I always choose a russian mate in the betatesting of clips: You guys always goes extra detailed.

But what's the general thought about the MEPs in the russian community? And the Collabs?
