So, here it is... apparently it couldn't stand up to the might that was a douchebag with a camera, SSBM, and Sandstorm; but no matter, I'm going to retool it and submit it to Anime Boston. If anyone has any constructive criticism it would be greatly appreciated; AB has tougher competition, so I need to step it up :-p. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1J8LQ3GU Edit: Also, just to be clear, I don't want this to spread about the internet too much... keep it to Anime Club please :-p |

Ironically enough, the "douchbag with a camera, SSBM and Sandstorm" was infact.. the annoying Jack Skellington. Your video is approximately a million light years better than that garbage. |

I think there are two things that worked against you at CTCon: 1. A lot of those AMVs were shown [my bet] because it was "well I know the guy doing the AMV contest" (e.g. when that one AMV did not work but the guy said it was alright because he was just doing a friend a favor) 2. Your AMV (although completely amazing) is rather long sporting a run time of over 6 minutes...editing it would only hurt the effect though so it is sort of a lose-lose situation unfortunately. As far as constructive criticism goes, the AMV is quite good however it shows scenes from VIII primarily and if the focus was to be more about the final fantasy series being epic, you might want to give equal time for each. Also you don't mention Advent Children in your title rundown and IX and XII are magically missing from the AMV altogether( X-2 deserves to be omitted and XI does not count). |

IX, I omitted mainly because I have yet to play though it (I know, I know, criminal). In part, I also was worried about meshing chibi with non-chibi. XII... that one, I just repressed XD. You make a good point on the division though; I need to comb over the crisis core cutscenes a bit better, since FFVII is where I"m lacking. (Mainly due to the fact that the original FFVII, while amazing, had limited material for flashy scenes). The run time definitely hurt me; but I double checked with the coordinator and he told me that it wouldn't be judged for time, adding to my displeasure with him :-p. I haven't spoken to Anime Boston yet, but there's a decent chance I'll have to find ways to whittle off a few seconds here and there lest it be disqualified. |

Eh, they should just let that guy who shows all those weird AMVs on his laptop (you know, that guy) run the AMV contest. If nothing else there'd be no more Evanescence AMVs or multiple entries set to the same FFwhatever cutscene... yeah I've been to too many of these
Say what you want about SSBM douchebag, but seeing that inspired me (after getting over my "What The Hell"-induced shock) to point a webcam at my monitor while playing Doom 2, set to "Another one bites the dust". 5 minutes later, I had an AMV, and wouldn't you know it, I got Best in Show at Otakon* one week later. Thanks, SSBM douchebag! * Okay, not really. I got second place - the guy who pointed a webcam at Mortal Kombat to the Mortal Kombat theme won. But in fairness, it was really good. |

You shouldn't have to install anything to download a file from megaupload. |
