Nope, there's ballots for both. There's two showings so that people who missed one (or couldn't get in due to capacity issues) can have a second chance. It's been this way every year we're not across the street in the big auditorium because you can fit so many more people in there than the normal viewing rooms. Tho I also think having it both days means people who have schedule conflicts with one showing can get in for another, unlike when we're @ the auditorium, so that's really great. I wouldn't be surprised if the overall audience size is larger on double-viewing years. Besides, the last couple years @ the auditorium the line for either the musicfest or masquerade was already outside- meaning, all those people going to the musicfest or masquerade couldn't see the FMVs because they had to stay in line during the screening. I think numbers took a hit w/ that and as an editor, it was kind of sad.

Also, yes, you can vote twice if you go on both days. It really won't make a huge impact on voting #s.

I think there was one year w/ two voting-showings and one with no voting, but don't quote me on it.

Once again, Foester, you are correct. Thanks for passing on the info. ;D

Yes, we'll have Staff Badges. Otherwise if you find a volunteer working the show, they will be able to point you towards us. I hope all the info on the ballots won't make it too small to see, but we made the fonts as large as possible. We will also be posting the info on the FMV sign and will be doing our best to get extra ballots printed so that we have enough for everyone. I will also post a copy of it after the show onto the forums. Cheers!

Situation will dictate. If you can, come see us before the show outside the show rooms and we can address it from there. I think even a small group will be just fine though. :D

I'd like to add that those numbers were as we received the entries. After the Judge's Panel, some entries were moved to other categories. Sometimes it's the panel's call and sometimes the contestant submits saying that it might work for multiple categories and then we decide from there. I know this year at least a few were moved into the comedy category because while they were comedic in nature. We had a few other moves throughout the entries as well, however the overall number stayed the same.

Hi everyone,
I'm really excited to read the conversations going on. We're really looking forward to everything at the con.
As far as some of the clarifications go. So far, what I've read has been pretty accurate. We will be letting editor's enter first and get first dibs on any seats they want, as well as having a section set aside in case any show up a little late. After a while though, we will need to open up any available seats to fill the place up. When you get there just look for me (Jose), or the FMV Dept 2nd, Tiffany, and we'll get you set up. We will have an actual printed sign this year so you can look for us near that. Also, editors are certainly allowed to bring guests to get some good seating with them. It's the least we can do. After all, with out you, we have no show, right? Just a heads up, we might go a few minutes long this year as we did squeeze in as many entries as possible... and then added a few more, haha. Also, we will posting all the info every requests each year on the sign (music and footage used), but on the audience ballots as well this year. We hope it helps. :D Thanks again for the feedback. We'll be rolling out more new stuff soon after con so stay tuned!

The meet and greet is open to all at Fanime to come meet the Editors and the FMV crew.
#52
It will be more of a chat and mingle. We could potentially set up a Q&A if there was enough interest in it. We passed the info onto marketing, for program guides and such. I'll look into what it will take to at least get it on the main page.
#53
Also, we'd like to congratulate everyone on their great entries this year. 
Congrats to those that made the show! You really earned it!

As every year, we wish we could put on a show long enough to include all entries, but alas that is not something we can do. The FMV crew and I can't wait to see you at the show. Also, Tiffany, the FMV Dept 2nd, and I will be at the FMV Meet and Greet on SUnday at Noon in the Video Room Main. Hope to see you there!

They're on their way. We have quite a few to go through, but we should be done soon. And by that, I mean definitely tonight, haha!
#57
They are on schedule. We just had the Judge's Panel on Sunday and are now putting together the show schedule. Once that is done, we will be emailing everyone. For those of you worried about deleting your spam folders... no worries. We're sending them all out tomorrow. You should expect your emails by tomorrow evening at the latest.  ;D
#58
Sure thing. Send us a request via email or in person after the show and we can certainly do that for you.

We will be holding the Judges Panel this weekend. Emails will follow within a couple days after that. You should expect something by Tuesday at the latest.

Forgot to mention, we don't get very many exhibition videos each year. Generally less than 3 or not at all. We tend to give priority to the contest editors first, so many times the exhibition submissions to make it to the main show. That's not to say that they can't be shown at Con though.
