Otakon's AMV Contest 2005 (Pretender or Contender?

[GeneStarwind21122]

Well its almost that time again. Otakon is coming around the corner. Well some interesting things to think about. Pretender or Contender? Dwchang this year will be going for a 3-peat this year. He has won Romance/Sentimental 2 years in a row will he make it a third. I will diffidently have to say Contender due to the fact that is his specialty and he will be hard to beat and knock off the top. What do you guys think? Next question Pretender or Contender? Pain of War? Does it have a shot this year at Otakon either in Drama or Action? If it does which category? Right now I'm nervous of the competition. As I'm trying to make my second straight Otakon appearance. I know the video is good but is it Otakon worthy? Next question VicBond 007 finally after several attempts won at Otakon last year in Upbeat/Rhythm. Will VicBond this year win his category or fall victim to second place like he has several times in the past? For VicBond this year if he stays in Upbeat/Rhythm or Action he has a good shot at winning. He's always been on that border from winning but now I think he has found his way to the top. I'm not sure about Romance or Drama because I haven't seen to many of them from him.

Well let me know what you think.

I thought about sending my video in but in the end I was slow and forgot.

I'm sure you'll be a contender.

If Dwchang has won that many times then yeah he is a contender.

VicBond is probably also another contender but it also just depends on the people who go and what interests them the most.

Theres no way to know exactly who will win. Something could go completely different as in Dwchang not even making the top 3. Not likely but theres just no way of knowing. All you can do is your best and just be happy that you did your best. (Which is something I should learn too....lol)

Well Otakon this year I turned out to be a pretender according to the prescreenings but that's what happends when you don't make your video obvious to the audience. Some people said they didn't get the video because they have never seen Samuri X or that they are tired of seeing amv's done to it. Oh well next year will be better.
