Not once... but it's good you have that philosophy.
I don't want to edit with overpopular anime just to get in... but it seems that really is the case for these things, huh.
I edit with DBZ and Naruto which are the bane of every AMV judge.
I'm quitting while I'm ahead since I can't keep it up much longer.
Lol but you overlook something....
you're
teh Castor Troy!
Anything Castor Troy edits isn't a bane to the Judges. Cuz he's Castor Troy. And Castor Troy be awesome. *nods*
A good contest recognizes good editing regardless of the sources.
If an editor has honestly done everything possible to make their video excellent then they should be a finalist. That means beta testing, listening to feedback, completely reconstructing entire segments from scratch if need be, tweaking and fixing it until the dawn, etc...
If you believe you've honestly done everything that you can do to make your video phenomenal then you should have no regrets. If the judges don't recognize your hard work, it's their own shoe eating that is responsible and there is nothing you can do about that but move on to somewhere you get the respect you deserve.
Otherwise, you've just got to keep trying and not give up hope.
