HMV contest deadline?

Post by Sayoria »

Is it the same as the AMV contest?... I thought last year or a year before, that the HMV contest's deadline was like a week later. Maybe my memory is just foggy, and even if correct, I know things could change.

With that said, any info on the date for this particular one? Still finishing up on my two regular AMV entries, and those are taking priority.

Regular AMV's should take priority. Hentai deadline is technically the same as the regular contest, April 12th. but in all likelihood I'll extend the hentai deadline into may.

Okay. Yeah, they are my priority. If the extension happens, that would be great as something to finish up on after the standard entries are done with less force on getting all three done. Whatever happens happens though. Thanks Adam.

Another question. We are only allowed to upload 2 videos. I notice the H contest tied in with the standard contest's upload form. Is there any way to upload two for the standard contest and one for the H contest?

Mmmm, good question. The system was initially designed to be just for the primary contest, and the HAMV contest was kind of tossed in with it. I thought I had worked around it last year.

Oh, I think I found it. If you re-fill the same AMV submission form you did in the first place, https://www.animeboston.com/forms/amv/, it should send you a second login password for that email address. You can use that for the HAMV contest. At least, that's what I *think* will happen. But I'm a bit short on time to tear it up right now.

So, the tool is marked as closed for the year. Can that be fixed for more uploads? I'm told the new deadline for this is May 1st.

Try again. I just turned it back on.

I'll have to make some adjustments to the system for next year. To separate out the contests better.

Well, the form loads. That's about all I can do from my phone. Will try filling the form out tonight. Thanks.

Wait I think that's kinda unfair the deadline should be the same as the contest.
Some of us worked hard to make it by then..

This thread existed before the deadline and was replied to 10 days beforehand. Not anyone else's fault if you didn't read it.

Not my fault that the hentai contest didn't put a separate contest date on the main website.

So,

I have 6 actual hentai videos and 1 video that isn't quite hentai, but was too much for the regular contest. Thought's?

I don't remember honestly. I also can't seem to find the ballot.

Well, my Hentai video was pretty darn short, so this isn't going to be a very long contest I guess, huh?....

Maybe re-do the whole HMV concept. I know as it stands, it is an HMV contest, but why not redo it and allow it to be any kind of videos for a mature audience, as long as the coordinators see the video not suitable for the standard contest? This means, Nudity, Sex, Gore, Foul Language, and so on. Might open this contest up for more videos, but I dunno. All up to the call of the coordinators.

I know cons like Tekkoshocon tried things like this before. People in the audience get, understandably, upset that they're getting carded and expecting to see a hentai contest when most of the entries don't warrant it.

For AAC, I ended up skirting the entire problem and just running a hentai iron editor. :lol:

With all the hassle it took to finish my entry and get it in, it'd suck if there wasn't a contest.

Well, would be a bit too much, but maybe a category thing like the original contest? ... Like one for gore, one for hentai, one for this/that/whatever, but only three videos instead of 5? ... I dunno. Still a year to think up a new approach to the 18+ contest if a new approach is taken. It sounds like (I would hope) that there is enough for the current contest this year.

I wish I had an idea to submit this year. I have one now, way too late :-/

I remember one year we had 11 entries. It was amazing.

Nope I like the hentai contest as is but we need to really pimp it
out more and get more entries. The moment you open it up to anything
that's too rough for the general contest you lose the original reason for it
in the first place.

A better suggestion is to have the contest with the hentai only. Then use the
R-Rated content that didn't make the contest as room warm up material.

What if there isn't any R-Rated amvs one year? I doubt people will make R rated AMVs solely to be an opening act.

I just want to give that as an option so they could be shown..

Maybe an Adult AMV contest not a hentai contest then..
But since most people don't make a lot of r-rated content
that doesn't seem valid ether.

Most people don't make R-rated content because there is no place for it. The main contest, it will be disqualified. The hentai contest, it will be disqualified if no sex scenes.

Chicken and egg problem. One con does it? It's not worth enough people's time. Same with Hentai contests in general. I tried to find other places to send the entry I sent here and only found one other con with a hentai contest any time in the near future. It's becoming not worth it for anyone to bother.

It's more worth wild to, in the future, incorporate the contest into a larger event of some type.

If we only knew someone with huge AMV archives and experience in entertaining crowds of people in AMV rooms across the country...

My archive of NSFW videos is actually pretty small compared to the rest of my archive. I'll see about gathering enough to run a block or two for next year, though.

ngsilver could probably help you with that.
