Dance/Upbeat is reserved for an After Effects parade like that stupid Dual video that won it this year. Awwww that's harsh...I didn't even use after effects in that vid... *is crushed* :O Sorry. That was unfair. I downloaded the video and caught a few things that I missed before. I left you an op e...

Speaking as the winner of the 'They all sucked but I guess we have to call one of these pieces of crap the winner' award I'd just like to give a tip for anyone considering next year. The saddest part is that I had to look at your profile to see which category you meant. The problem with the Theme c...

I guess with everybody going the emo route and sending in Drama videos, the art of making the comedy video is getting lost..... Hey, I submitted a Comedy last year, and my Drama this year may have been Simple Plan, but at least it was upbeat Simple Plan. :P Unfortunately, I am with you in thinking ...

Help on an Opinion

Okay, I read through the guide to opinions and this seems to be a problem that probably doesn't come up often: I recently received an opinion that was clearly quite favorable. It wasn't anything spectacular and it didn't have any constructive criticism, but it was clear that he liked the video: I wa...

I will add that to my list of programming ideas for next year. I can't say we can devote too much time for a mixer since it will tend to be amv creator centric but it would be something great to try. Wasn't that was pretty much Iron Editor this year? There were in-jokes and references that I didn't...

After reading through this whole damn thread, I found a glaring point that hasn't been raised yet: I have no problem with editing audio, as long as you do it *well*. Just like many other effects, transparency is the important part. If people don't notice it, it doesn't count! If you fade out before ...

If it's AWA, then by all means, keep it quiet. It it's SmallTownConWithTwoEditorsTotal (like mine), then chances are low that any of the audience members are likely to see the video between release and con. Outside of letting my friends beta the first draft, I actually prefer to premiere my video a...

1) If the Next Big Thing does come, it will be truly that- something so far ahead of us that none of us can picture it. 2) Whoever makes it, they either aren't on this board, lurking and not posting, or making relatively innocuous comments that nobody listens to. 3) The Next Big Thing will not be on...

Technically- synching and just making sure the clip makes sense for what I'm trying to do with it. The most important thing to me is how I feel about it. As long as I'm happy with it when it goes public, that's what's important. I want people to like it, and I'm happy when they do, but few of my AMV...

Excellent. I liked the dedicated room set-up last year and I'm glad they're doing it again. I'll make sure to stop by.

Being a fairly new creator, I'm just happy to have my entry screened again. Still awesome to gauge reactions from a live crowd.
