I am a competitive AMV editor. Been for decades now. Been trying for nearly 20 years to get 'a' win at Anime Boston and while I make finals, have never actually won here. I have won at lots and lots of other cons in the past, but AB is like this impossible feat to me since it's my home-town con and a high-want for other editors every year. I am someone who makes my videos pretty much exclusively for AB and if it fails, I just never submit my videos around and just 'whatever' it. This year, I didn't even make finals for AB. I talked to the coordinator, he told me 'it went on too long, just do the joke, get in, get out' and I was thinking to myself 'I don't think it did. The point was the point of the video and I think it was very well balanced.' It hurt and was about to just not submit it around. Then I thought about Otakon. Otakon has strict AMV editing rules and is another golden con for editors. I thought 'Hey, if I submit it to Otakon and it gets in.... the con that's harder to get finals.... maybe it isn't me' .... and I just got my confirmation letter as a finalist here. Not only that but also a finalist at a con in the Netherlands as well same weekend. If I win best comedy at Otakon and I never got a damn chance at Anime Boston with this video I worked hard at exclusively for my Anime Boston win, it's going to hurt knowing the audience never had a chance to see and vote on it. I felt it was pretty good comedy-wise. For those interested, the video is NOT online and will be after Otakon possibly. This is not an advertisement. Just a little vent. >_> .... --- Japanese Crack: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5pzggr ... Copied to Clipboard!

StopBeinMad posted... Anime boston just doesn't recognize talent I guess Eh, they do. But I just feel like they have a hard time with some categories for sure. A couple of the comedy videos in that category this year was draining. BlueBoy675 posted... I had no idea there were AMV competitions. That sounds kinda fun It is. I do AMV competition stuff every year. The feeling when you make a video and hear people next year say 'Your video was classic' is pretty awesome. --- Japanese Crack: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5pzggr ... Copied to Clipboard!

I guess I only like the amvs that summarize an arc etc with music added. Not sure how a joke would be included there. ... Copied to Clipboard!

How about an arc of Spy X Family you never knew you needed? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7X7EagH4yM --- Japanese Crack: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5pzggr ... Copied to Clipboard!

BlueBoy675 posted... I had no idea there were AMV competitions. That sounds kinda fun One of the most famous competition AMVs (at least that kept showing up in my circles) was a brilliantly edited Black Heaven to "Code Monkey." If this was the standard for Best in Show back then, I can only imagine how much better it is now with the more widely available tools to the public. https://youtu.be/5W_wd9Qf0IE --- What has books ever teached us? -- Captain Afrohead Subject-verb agreement. -- t3h 0n3 ...
