I don't cater to all this con-talk. I have nothing to with any cons to date. Maybe I'll enter something someday, just so you noiks will shut up about shitty vids winning all the time.

Seeing the videos at cons inspires me to improve as much as D/Ling the ones posted here daily. I get to see the wide range of quality videos from romance, comedy, drama, etc. and the crowd reactions to them. It really is cool to see one's video being screened in front of hundreds if not thousands.

Of course the AMVs are better this year! This year was the year I didn't make anything!

... Oh, wait...

On a serious note, though, all the shitty videos are being uploaded to sheezyart, and completely bypassing the .org. Blame/applaud of that.

Have you ever been to a con AMV screening? It's nice seeing AMVs on the big screen with a crowd. Gibberishy gook and all.

It sure as hell is! I mean, when that Bleach + Retro Ghostbusters remix anime/song combo came on at JACON, people were like "ZOMG!!BESTAMVEVAR!!" and I think there were about 7 edits. It's only awesome when you see something worth your time. And the only AMVs worth your time are the winners.

I don't see any reason for me to spend hundreds of dollars to go to a convention and get close to a mass of smelly fanatics "ooh-ing and aah-ing" at clips of music mixed with cartoons.

I don't know about videos in general getting better (better = more enjoyable), but effects seem to be getting more necessary. Just glancing around the big con vids being announced, it's 'effects or bust'. This trend has been going since I joined, though, so it's only natural that as effects become more necessary, some people get better at implimenting them.

So as far as 'good = well used effects', yes, there is a marked increase in 'good' videos.

But videos in general aren't getting 'better' (better = more enjoyable). At least not for me. I've downloaded fewer vids this year than any year since I joined, with the few I did get being very well made but not really all that interesting to me. I can only think of 4 vid this year that I loved watching (not including vids made last year that I didn't watch till this year).
