Video Programming / FMV Pre-Show videos 2014
May 25, 2014, 03:29:46 PM
We got a lot of inquiries during the show for the videos that we featured in the pre-show this year, and I mentioned to the people who asked that I'd list them here on the Fanime Forums. Not sure where a download is available and I can't in good conscience simply provide a submission for our competition, so hopefully you'll be able to track these down if you want to re-view them.

Killing the Kill - Flame X
Bad Dog - TritioAFB
Deceiving Angels - HiikariAMV
It's Free Real Estate - Chest Hair
Iwatobi Weather Service - Nekokitkat
Ethereal Horizon - Justin Phillip Yin
Pamplemousse - Pieandbeer

The FMVs will begin seating at approximately 1pm on both Friday and Saturday in Video 1 and Video 2 (Film and Industry Rooms). Please arrive at or before 1 to make sure you get a good seat and so you don't miss any amazing videos! The show will be identical on both days, so if you miss Friday's, come to Saturday's! All attendees and editors are welcome to vote for this year's audience winners. Tell us who your favorites are, and make an editor's day! You are also welcome to vote on both days if you'd like to.

The awards show will be held at Stage Zero on Sunday from 2-3pm. We'll be showing the winners from each category as well as best in show and delivering prizes to the winning editors in attendance.

Video Programming / 2013 FMV Rules?
January 23, 2013, 10:34:21 PM
Pretty much what the title says - I'm hoping to get started on my video for this year soon, but I do want to know if there are certain rules and/or themes to keep in mind with the entries.

Also, is Jose still going to be the coordinator this year?
