Anime Expo 2015 AMV Competition - WINNERS POSTED!

[neko kitkat]

yay! I cant wait to see the entries this year! I am working on a new amv for AX as well XD. Although I must ask since I am using a videogame for my vid, and some clips aren't' very high in quality. What quality is acceptable it comes to videogame footage? I can't get a higher res for 3ds footage

Video quality is a subjective thing, so it's kind of case-by-case. The universal no-no is if compression blocks are very clearly apparent. As for resolution, my knee-jerk reaction is to say that anything below 640x480 should be avoided, but there can be exceptions such as if a video game blockyness look is actually something you want (Ace Attorney, for example).

I have confidence that you have a good eye for determining what's usable. Evaluate it carefully and trust your judgement.

You're also welcome to contact us privately and send a small sample if you'd like.

Aww thank you so much! I am flattered you think I am that good XD. I am not 100% sure on the footage so I will more than likely send a sample just to be sure. lol I don't trust my judgement XD Thank you so much!

Vlad had been expecting far more drama over the AMV-Hell rule, actually. Hardly anyone's even mentioned it.

ALA is a much smaller convention, but we had our first AMV-Hell rule this year. Either no one had a problem with it, or the ones who did completely passed on us.

Either way, all quiet on the western front.

You might want to check your back for invisible daggers!

Good thing Troy will be shielding us from them at AX as that is the Mangers Job

I think I'll have my first entry for this year done tonight... we'll see since I still have to watch it after it finishes encoding, but I think, I think its about ready, so if not tonight by the end of the week at the latest I think.

No rush. It's not a race. Take the time you need to make sure it's just right, and don't upload it until you're 100% satisfied that it's as good as it can be.

Though on the other hand, uploading early means that you'll have more time to fix a problem if we encounter one with your entry, so... good on you for that.

You should really make up your mind, troy, and stop confusing everybody.

I cover all possibilities so that I'm never wrong. Or at least only half wrong. Or maybe half right? Maybe I'm getting the whole idea wrong.
