Anime Expo 2014 AMV Competition - Finalist List POSTED!

[Chemix800]

Lol man all cons are made for profit do you think I was born yesterday ? Come on. For example one of the owners in my country makes at least 3000 to 5000 euro every year! That money is besides renting the space and so on. That money goes directly into his wallet. Let's not start here a serious discussion than cause will inflict some damage to the owners. I just wanted to say what I had to say up there and this is final. It's AX topic for god's sake lol.

AX is the only successful anime con in north America that I know of that has paid execs, and I think its just one person at the top. For-profit cons tend to not do well in the anime con scene. Most of them have to deal with rental rates that scale to what corporate trade shows can afford, but they charge their attendees $40-$60 to get in instead of the $100-$1000+ trade shows charge to businesses that just write it off as a cost of doing business.

Man AX has 40k peps every year. How do you think they can afford to invite so many big names ? Actors, @cosplay and so on do not come for free not in million years from now. They charge a lot trust me cause I know. And one more thing. How do you think they had so much money back in 2010 or 2011 ? I hope you guys are not blind. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/bbs/php ... p?t=155396 And besides AX everyone is doing it because this is really a business in the end. We, editors don't get shit. The organizers do.

Chemix, if this is a topic you're genuinely interested on and you aren't just trolling, feel free to message me privately (or open a different thread elsewhere) and I'll give all the gory details about AX's financials and profitability (or lack thereof, particularly in the very same years you cited) as it's a topic I'm well informed on and I actually enjoy talking about, just not in this thread.

You're also welcome to open a separate thread regarding the topic of trying to "go pro" on the AMV creation hobby or on trying to turn it into a profitable thing, but again, not here because that's a volatile topic. To be honest, that's a thread I'd find very entertaining as I think you'll find a lot of people on this forum will hand you your ass on that topic.

I will request moderators to delete any future posts in this thread regarding those topics. Again, take them elsewhere.

I'm not trolling bro, stay chill. I was trying to stop but you see the people from this community keep the subject going because it's really interesting. Hope you won't ban me now because I started to talk about financial stuff @AX and all the cons as well. That would be so lmao.

Why would I do that? As I said, it's a conversation I enjoy discussing, just not here.

I can confirm that I made the same style of face, me and a friend on fb when we saw that xstylus put me in silenzio stampa because this will make some bad image @topic. Well I must flee. Don't want to see people that I am obsessed with AX financial stuff as well as for the other cons.

You can hit CTRL and + on your keyboard to make the page bigger (CTRL and - to go back to how it was before) if you wanna read it more easily. Or copy n' paste/quote it.

I can't say I've gotten a chair, but I'm pretty fond of the trophy I got in 2010 and wouldn't mind seeing something like that again.

that's not a trophy, it's a deadly chunk of resin designed for the zombie apocalypse.

Is there a pic of this weapon- I mean, trophy somewhere?

Hey Castor, you're slacking, man! You missed several cues for "drama" the past few pages.
