Contest results here, photos 4 & 5 by Timo Virtanen and Noora Kurko. Turns out he didn’t have enough hands to carry all his trophies (see photo). I was kind of relieved when I discovered on stage that the author of both videos was no other than WhiteDex (didn’t know you could send multiple entries to the contest) who also managed to get his hands on Best Action and Best Comedy. I finally came down to 2 AMVs, both deserving Best Execution and me struggling to make a decision. I called it “Nostromo Cyber Badassery Special Award 2000” and decided I would give it to the AMV I wish I had done. My job was to select the Best Execution and give a special award of my choice to any AMV. 50 videos were submitted, about half were pretty good and 10 were excellent. I was surprised by the quality of entries in the AMV contest. Damn, these people are serious about AMV! The convention was smaller scale than what I’m used to with Japan Expo (6 000 vs 240 000 visitors) but it was much more pleasant to attend with cool events such as cosplay, AMV contest, Final Fantasy concert, game/movie/anime symphonic orchestra/choir and other stuff but I was pretty busy and couldn’t see everything. The highlight for me was the screening of Umbrella Corp (beta™) in the amazing Tampere-talo auditorium. I wasn’t ready for this level of attention, everything was perfect and I hope I delivered a good enough performance. 5 days in Helsinki & Tampere, guided visits, infinite food, taxi, killer hotel, private backstage room with my name on it (!!!), VIP all the way, double Nostromo interview, chat with Finish editors, handshakes and photos with fans (holy shit there are actual people who know me and like my stuff!). It’s been a while since I went to a convention and I wasn’t sure what to expect of this guest of honor business but it turned out to be quite an adventure. Should I bring chocolate, macarons, Eiffel Towers souvenir from Paris? I’ve got a better idea, let’s make a new AMV that we will premiere at the convention just before I get called on stage for the AMV contest!
So I’m being invited, the staff is taking care of literally everything for me, I can’t come empty handed.
I really wasn’t sure I was legit for attending this event and expressed my doubts about it but as the Tracon staff insisted I thought to myself “hey, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that will probably never present itself again so let’s just go and see what happens!”. This is how one of the biggest adventure of my life (so far) began.Īlthough I never stopped making AMV, I know I’m not a big name of the current AMV scene and left the top 10 a while ago. See you with your boy You be making loads of noise Under my Umbrella My Umbrella I see you, ou ou ou I see you, ou ou ou, Under My Umbrella My Umbrella, My Cinderella The one, you call ya man, ain't what I call a man Why you give him credit you can't talk to man Thats why you don't make a boy a ya man He's just picture perfect he's spoils plans I know you had a couple trust issues You no love over lust issues What would happen if I just kissed you Right here right now, like You know what I should find out Blow your mind and your spine out Tell your boyfreind your mine now Mind out diamond girl you should shine now lights out Make her drip like brolley When I give her doggy She's a addicted probably Like it's Whitney Bobby We just lite the broccoli And it's getting foggy Hella sauce on me all dripping off me, Woo Ya girl all on me, come get her off me Yeah Lauren Hill vibes I kill her softly And she knows this Same time I'm the same one She wanna be close with Elope with Hair did did he notice no He don't pay attention to your voice His promises are all void You look annoyed when I.– How about coming to a convention in Finland as guest of honor?
