Best New Creator

[Kwasek]

Well plaid on both sides

Yes, well plaid indeed!

^_^


Seriously, I hope this thread points out to everyone just how important even getting nominated is. Don't think to much yet about who will win the categories, your jumping the gun and missing out on just enjoying have made it this far.

Now is the time to that everyone is viewing those that were nominated that they may have never seen before. I know I've started to see some good videos I never saw before. This is the best part about the VCA's, in my opinion, because everyone has an opportunity to watch them all.

point I was trying to make: that video was created SPECIFICLY for the "Best First Video" category. I wanted more than anything when I came into this comunity to earn that award. I even went out and advertised to people to nominate it. Friends, family, whoever would create an account (I refuse to box stuff, or create a whole bunch of accounts or anything, I was getting honest votes, in a sort of in-honest way) but lo, and behold, I didn't even get nominated in that category. It's just a very humiliating thing to have something that I worked so hard on seemingly trashed, and in some instances to videos I thought OBVIOUSLY inferior. I guess it can all just be seen as artistic difference. As style. It just seems to me like there should be some universal goal... like... the scenes fit together... or... the timing is right. Maybe I'm exagerating, but it feels like that sometimes. And it's hard to deal with as an artist.
I don't mind begging, I just want some freaking recognition. But hey, even if I don't get the award, I'm still going to be at AX with my vids, and fanime, and elsewhere I'm sure. I apreciate those of you that took this seriously, and I'm saddened by those that took it any other way.

I think you are taking this way too hard on yourself. If you know you made a great video and others have seen it and told you the same, shouldn't that be enough?

I don't know. That's just my thoughts.

You are not me.

I have a bloodthirsty desire to win everything I attempt. If I don't win, there was no point in having played the game. That is just how I think.

I would agree under most normal circumstances... but really, none of my videos got nominated. -_-
I'm only pissed about the nominations because I didn't get a single one of the nominations I wanted. In that respect I agree with jbone, this particular award is kind of... odd. (at least it's not "Most Improved" though -_-) The only reason I want it so bad is because I have NEVER won an award. And I wanted a VCA from the moment I stepped into the comunity, which was actually even longer ago than a year ago (the math is funky because I'm still working on videos I started working on two augusts ago.)
Anyway, the point was, I just wanted to let you know that I want that award. It's my own shameless advertisement, and let that be that.

When I'm winning, I'm having fun. So far, my AMV carrier has sucked.

You obviously make videos for the wrong reason. I honestly do pity you now.

It seems to me that if you really try to win, you'd be busy improving your skills and letting your skills do the advertising work for you, as opposed to the other way around.

IMHO, anyway.
