Fanime Contest Results

[Machine]

The AMV contest was a sad bunch of politics and BS.

Overall it was a good contest... but there were ALOT of bad points...

Second... Mindwarp's United States of Whatever! Oh my! That was shown at the Semi-finals. It some how didn't make the finals. The reaction it got at the semi-finals was amazing. If it was in the finals it could have won the comedy category, based on the reaction it got from the semi final audience (they almost gave it a standing ovation). It could have easily beaten half the videos in the comedy category, so why the heck wasn't it in the finals? Alot of people were wondering this.

Wow Really? That's amazing! I saw the finals list here on another thread and saw that only my Drunk With Love had made into the finals.

I was wondering why Naruto's United State of Whatever

Shit I hit the wrong button.

Anyways, back to what I was saying. I saw that Naruto's United State of Whatever had not made it to the finals but I really didn't give it much thought since Drunk With Love had already made it in.

I just simply thought there were better comedy videos than mine and didn't think too much about it.

Almost a standing ovation? Neato!

Fourth... The Action winner of the viewer's choice... It was one of the last videos shown. Due to the crappy time slot of the contest, alot of people came in at the end of the action category and therefore didn't see all the action videos, and only voted on the last two or three they saw. When the better action videos in the catergory where shown much earlier. The 1st video was one of the best (and even if it was miscategorized). If people missed videos from a category, they should not be allowed to vote for that category.

That should be mine... actually I don't know much about american conventions, but this is just the thing with viewers votings and there's not really much the coordinators can do about it ^^
I've still got to see every video entered in action and according to other peoples comments to my video at conneko it was possibly pretty hard to judge for the viewers, too.
And beside those facts, according to the list of entries my video was the only fun one in action, maybe that affected the viewers a bit more.

All I can do is assumptions >_<

Well, after thingking about if for a while, I suppose "Love is a Battlefield" is basically a Drama video with action... Originally I was making it as a pour action video, but as I worked on it, more and more dramatic elements pervailed..

As long as people enjoyed it is what counts.. Expecially since it is an older anime to an 80s song

To counter what Anneke said, you did get an Honorable Mention in Action at Anime Central and that was based on Judges, not viewers. That basically means another video got more "first place" votes at ACen, but the judges did agree it was a "second" or "third place."

I wasn't at Fanime and don't claim to know the quality of the videos there, but I saw this video at Anime Central and certainly can agree it's a top-notch action video. It's one of *me looks* three videos I've downloaded, watched and kept in the last three months.

At the same time, I don't understand why people feel the need to degrade videos in a contest in a public forum. I can understand praise, but degrading them and saying things were "robbed" isn't very courteous.

Anyway, congrats to all the winners. Maybe I'll submit one day, but that'll mean I'm coming up and I don't see that for awhile .

JCD, I am not surprised at all your video won best action. It was my 2nd choice for best action, and I thought it was an awesome video (see my brief set of reviews I posted to the AMV Mailing list on Sunday). Your award was well deserved. Don't let anneke's crap bother you; I don't.

The perfect blue video was mine. That video has been shown at a few conventions allready without any problems. Its been getting great reviews here at the org. I even cleared that video with the co-ordinators before I sent it in. I had a censored version that I offered to send but was told that the non-censored version wansn't a problem. Your the first person to really complain about it that I've heard of. I'm sorry it offended you but you just need to chill out. Its just animated. You missed the whole point of the video, but i didn't expect some people to get it as they would have gotten to hung up on the nudity as you did.
