It's true...

SATURDAY AUG 27 10:00AM - THEATRE 1
SUNDAY AUG 28 11:00AM - THEATRE 1 REPEAT

I wonder if they're going to even have an amv contest next year....

Well at a quick glance, nothing else is in the John Basset Theatre until 4pm, so I'm hopeful that the comp will be longer than 1 hour this year.

I just got back from the CN Anime AMV comp, and it was very disappointing, not in video quality of course, but in organization and technical aspects. But more on that later, right now I just wanted to point out the winners so people who weren't there know.

BEST COMEDY: Love Hina - Mood Rings
BEST ACTION: Spriggan - Die another Day
BEST DRAMA: Vampire Hunter D - Hunters Requim
BEST MISC - Various - Otherside (yay, me! lol)
BEST IN SHOW - Cromaite Rhapsody.

All The videos I saw were great, congrats too all!

Ah that stuff was great. I personally think Dedicated To Sammy was the best comedy but people who don't know about the .org didn't get the joke as much as some others did. But damn it was still a riot they laughed hard. Lol

HOLY CRAP! Dude, I was already on a high because I managed to get Angela's Autograph but this is awesome

I missed the contest because of the no-schedule-ness

But anyone that was there, mind if I ask you what the reactions to my vid was? (was there any at all?

)

I'll probably miss the review tomorrow too, I'm busy at the Wyldstar booth...come visit me

I'm the one whoring out the $10 table

Awesome job, congrats Moonie

Heh, sad that I didn't make it there this year... again.

I do hope they have a proper contest next year. Hell, from what I remember, it's usually been... well... about the most popular event there. Dunno how it was this time though, but I hope it was.

Cheers.

Hey Moon, Mood rings had a good reaction, alot of people laughed at all the key moments.

Onto the rant...

Yeah, CN did a horrible job of running the comp this year, even though I missed the first half of it. I mean the comp started at 10 right, it wasn't in the scheduele, so when I finally got into the convention, around 10:15 because the line was so long and they didn't open the doors til like 10 exactly, I ran straight to the John Basset theatre, only to find it empty. So I thought maybe I was wrong, maybe the comp didn't start at 10. So I asked one of the anime volunteers who said the comp was already going on in Theatre 1, when I got there the Sayuki video was on.

At first I was flaming the Sayuki vid, not because it was bad, but beacuse it had these really REALLY ugly lines that screwed up the picture. At first I thought it was an ugly effect, then rendering gone wrong. When the next video started I realized, CN sucks. The lines which distrorted like 40% of the screen were on EVERY video, it was a problem on their end.

I was already pissed it wasn't in the John Basset theatre, that was the only good thing about the comp, now the play it without caring it looks f-ed up. The JBT was empty, they totally could have had it there, and it could either way the least they could have done was have it be 2 hours long.

Last year I accepted excuses for CN, but seriously they don't have that many events to disregard one like this.

Anyone else who went, what do you think?

Oh also, did anyone make it to the masquerade? I heard they didn't even have a co-ordinator for it a few weeks ago.
