Well only four made it to up beat, guess I couldn't make the cut. Oh well I haven't even been making videos for a year so I'm not too surprised. Anyhow, all I have to say is: Watch out next year, Eru will be back!
This is how I see things:
A bad AMV makes it look easy
A good AMV makes it look fun
A great AMV makes it look hard
However, the best AMVs make it look impossible

Congrats everyone! I'm sure it will be a great contest!
Neither was mine. Flashy != good video. In fact (and I'm not just saying this to make you feel better), yours was one of the higher ranked videos on my prescreening scores. I took a brief look at your profile and immediately remembered it (which is good).

...then again, I am an Angelic Layer fan and am biased >_>.
Ha ha thanks! The problem with my amv was that you needed to know the story of Angelic Layer to get it. So in a crowd with mixed anime viewing history it would turn out looking mediocre.

Gotta try harder next year! haha
Wait... yer AL video got cut?

boo urns. |:
Yeah I don't mean to knock anyone else's video, but that Angelic Layer video I distinctly remember being one of the stronger vids in a fairly weak category so I'm a bit surprised and disappointed. Oh well. I had my vote and others did as well.

...it should also be noted that Koop is also an Angelic Layer fan like me, so is also biased :P.

I have to admit that I'm not too thrilled about being DQ'ed since the cutoff date for winning awards prior to the con was a bit too late in my opinion.

Other than that, good luck to all the finalists! :)

I got DQ'ed for content D: (only one at that, lol.) Oh well, I knew it was a risk when I made my video, though I hold no regrets.

Actually, there was only one flashy video.. and that didn't make it in due to a DQ. |:
Was it mine? D:

I think he was referring to Castor Troy's video. That or going the complete opposite direction and referring to rehdogg.com...

yeah, I was a little concerned about being DQ'd for content cause I chose Persona 3 (an M rated game), and there was some blood in it, I wasn't too sure, but glad it qualified. I knew it was a smart idea to leave out the melting eyeball, lol :D

Everybody in this thread could be interpreting "flashy" in many different ways :nose:
