I also plan to turn in a video I entered last year but didn't get shown. For some reason. Guy assures me that he liked it, but I smell a conspiracy afoot.
This is a good time to note that there is -NO- age limit to how old an AMV is. If you have a project that fits a current category, feel free to send it in!
Most of this year's judging panel are new faces, and so I am hoping for good results. The only 'conspiracy' I would think possible would be if an entrant somehow individually and privately contacted a sizable slice of this year's gang and they all agreed, jointly or severally, to *do* something, one way or another. But, since all awards except Judges' Choice awards are based on audience voting, the only problem would be if that act was to exclude one otherwise good entry from running against of the all the others in a category, or at least the "conspirator's pick" in that category. Other than that, even if someone were to bias a majority of judges so that an entry gets ADDED, then we all rely on the audience to choose the winner they were going to choose anyway.
Badgers teaming up with the Roman Catholic church to take on Letterman and Leno in a showdown of darkness in Israel!! Totally
Must be a TV show reference I missed?
If it works in Media Player Classic, then you're fine
I second that. MPC is my 'back-up' player, and the primary one is V-LAN, also called VLC.
Why can't we just enter AMVs through online (on amv.org) like Sakura Con allows. It's so much more of a difficult hassle to send it through the mail on a cd.
This is a good idea - I'd like to know if it's possible to set up a PC to retrieve files sent by FTP. If I get to do this again next year, I think it wouldn't be a problem to receive entries if they're already posted for download on
www.animemusicvideos.org.
Another way people could do submit electronically would be to load AMVs onto their own webspaces, and then email me URLs. As long as I could download it without registering, logging in to anything, or accepting cookies, I think that would work, EXCEPT: (and I can see the nightmare now...) It's 4:39PM on the deadline day, and I get 25 e-mails at ONCE!!! Each of these are 85MB projects! There goes my bandwidth for half a WEEK!!! (sizzling, smoldering phone jack...)
Yes, this would be neat and there should be a way to do it while retaining internet privacy and anonymity. (I could even go to a Kinko's and d/l from there if I got good connectivity and the project wasn't too large...)
I am working on the contest OP right now, using Virtual Dub, Sony Sound Forge, and Hash Animation Master.
