Posting from backstage at the second screening, here's the full list of finalist videos. I'll post links to them once I'm home from the convention.

Winners will be announced at the Masquerade later tonight. If the network isn't saturated, I'll also post on Twitter as the winners are announced (@lantisescudo), if you'd care to follow along.

My personal taste is usually the Upbeat, Fun Comedy, and Other categories. This year however, the Action category was the star. Congrats to all.

OMG ppplleeeaassseee post those links to the video's soon. I have quite a few freinds wanting to view the "Upbeats" winner.

The ones I just viewed can actually already be found on Youtube/Google. I just had to rewatch The Fangirl Chronicle, it was too good!

Thanks for that, do you guys have "The Pheonix" remix with Soul Eater. I havn't seen that and it was the star of the show. If you could upload it I'd be extremely grateful

Here's Time: https://vimeo.com/124181172

Here's "A boy in funny red boots" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51cssqUYMC0
I just want to say that I very much enjoyed this experience. It was fun, the other editors were great to talk to, and it was all very encouraging. I'm seriously considering doing this again next year.

Here's the other Upbeat winner "Awake to the sky" if you still haven't found it yet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJTfoGJzN1A Fantastic video IMHO

Glad to have meet you Dragonrider, and great to see someone keeping alive the good old series

I made a youtube playlist of as many of the videos as I could find. 27/33 are up so far, including all the winners.

I thought this year's contest was mostly great! There was some meh though as usual.

Can we give feedback here? Because one of the winners I am pretty confused about.... >.>

I feel like that would open up a whole can of worms...people will then dispute any results, such as the winners of the contests and selections for the cosplay games, and it wouldn't be pretty.

Thank You ^__^ That was the plan. As was getting to mingle with the other editors. Brace yourself. If all goes well I may be back next year and I may bring Astro back with me XD
Were you one of the editors? My memory isn't always the greatest ^^;

Thank you to everyone who watched my video! This was probably the strongest contest I've ever seen. If anyone wants a link to mine ("Bleeding Heart Effect") or to give feedback, it's on YouTube here: http://youtu.be/fq_q_tZQGas
The audio is down now, but I'm hoping to re-upload with a pitched version.

Best Romance

It's cool, I was able to get my answer directly!
