Anime Crossroads 2015 AMV/MV Contest *WINNERS*

[Fay-Sa]

Personally I have had editors forget to add a blank space in the video so in order to create that gap I just make 2 second blank video before and after. I don't touch the editors video, but they are indepent from the video when I burn the DVD or put them in the playlist to give it that gap.

As far as credits I had editors that left them in before and it is easy to fix that with VLC, the Tekkoshocon crew was able to help me out this year and we had no video issues.

So I'm not sure why these are still issues when there are easy work arounds.

I use to add the blank spaces if people forgot when we used a burned DVD for the contest but we don't use that anymore so I rather the editors add it themselves since it's not that hard to do and honestly not a big deal.

As for a 'easy fix' with VLC I shouldn't have to fix what I clearly state in the rules isn't allowed. I have made exceptions for videos in which the credits are PART of the video but that because the editor asked and explained why they weren't removed and that all you have to do. I'm pretty easy to get along with but I'm getting a bit tricked off here. This isn't my 1st time running the contest but unlike you lot I don't have a lot of help. For what we have right now this works and I don't see a need to change it. Changes will happen if they need too but right now it's pointless. Maybe next year but sure as hell not this year.

I was under the impression that asking those to submit their videos to AMV contest via ether the contest own server or a file sharing site instead of using the Org was common or have I been wrong this whole time?

It's about 50/50 for me between cons that have you upload to their servers and those that just ask for a link. But either way, I wouldn't link to an Org video information page as a download - you're completely right, that's my distribution copy, not my "con" copy. Some of them do have a blank space, but that's where I write my name.

-slow clap- well said. Yeah coordinator, I know it must be extremely difficult running a con and stuff, it's just I feel it might have been a bit easier to have used one of those Google docs entry forms other cons have used. But I'm not gonna complain, I followed your submission rules just fine. ^^ don't stress yourself out

Anyone can enter from anywhere. The only issue may come from mailing prizes which are light but a bit wide. Still we'll work something out in the case you win a award so please send your video to the contest. The deadline is Feb 7th at 11:59 PM EST.

[Fay-Sa]

3 days till deadline. We still need more entries for both the contest and the showcase.
