Just a reminder to everyone, the deadline is this coming Friday, so we're down to about six days to get your videos in!

Doing well here. My drama entry is pretty much done, and Thursday, I came up with a great comedy video (IMO) when I heard a certain song on my laptop again for the first time in a while. Within three days, it is already practically done. It could pass off pretty well as romance too I suppose. I should have it set tomorrow for uploading. The drama as well if I can figure out how I want to do something.

Just putting the final touches on mine right now. Gonna review it for another day and submit it tomorrow. Been a couple years since I entered but I sort of decided last minute to make and enter something. I think it turned out pretty good!

Cram sessions are what makes the contest fun though. You are missing out on a major part of it. D:

For the first time ever I got my stuff done a month in advance, but I had another deadline I was working towards. Had a plan for another video in the works, but I had to have some surgery done and now it's pretty painful to sit all the time to edit.

Pretty happy with what I came up with. If nothing else, it put me in a good mood.

I hadn't even thought about the contest and was neck deep in my templecon stuff (Demoing my RPG in development)
Then I was like, Well I have 2 weeks. Why not make something?
Skimmed down the AMV idea list for the best workable idea within that time frame.

I experienced it last year and suffered insomnia for about a month after, I opted to not do it again lol. But the 2 videos I made had about 6hrs of work a night for 2 months straight. I am very proud of them. :D

My videos both ended up as labors of love... 9 months of work... I doubt it'll show for either :-)

Well, that was lovely. Watch your video, find a problem, fix it, and render issues ensue. I should still be fine though. Should be submitting after this render is done.


Also, Lantis, has a screening date been determined yet?
