I technically could afford to go to AX if I canceled Otakon and ACEN but I'd rather do 2 cons rather then just 1. Plus I've had a great time at both ACEN cons I went to and Otakon was a blast year.

As for videos, I hope to have my second video done for that one, so maybe if I get lucky that'll make it into overflow. Before I worry about that video, though, I should finish #1 which I'm submitting to ACEN.
Well, from what I hear, AX isn't all that great. It's too commercial to be any real fun. It's more like an industry con. Kinda like how E3 is for games.

I personally enjoy the smaler cons like Neko (big fish in a little pond). Went to that in 2002 and had a ball! Before that al I had been to was Otakon(little fish in a big pond). Oh yeah, AX is like (fish out of watter), lol.

Yea, this year I probably will not be attending AX, but I will be going to Otakon again and will have a video for the contest.

I'll be making the 10-minute drive on all three days again :) I doubt I'll have a video done in time for the contest, but you never know!
I have no idea how to use this new forum.

Very cool. I look forward to seeing you again? I am working on something now that might actually make it to the contest this year. After my first two vids (if you can calll them that) I took some time out to learn the software a bit, and learn about vdub and huffy and all that to help me improve.

I'm using superimposing for the first time (so this vid will be a learning experiance). So my superimposed images are nothing like yours. I have no clue how you got the stuf to superimpose so well. Anyway I'm using After Effects for masking (only thing I really know how to use it for asside from 1 or 2 effects). Guess eventually I should buy a book for it, lol.

I'm worse. I was asked ot be staff for Otakon last year but turned it down because I had already made plans for the weekend. And this year, so I can be in the AMV contest, instead of pushing the subject with Joe (the current con chair, and the guy who recommended me last year) I just decided to gopher. That way I can get a feal for being staff withough commiting to anything.

I'm going to get a $35 check from my mother so I can send it in to be pre-regged for Otakon 2003.

I hope I can meet alot of you guys at Otakon 2003.
