With one day left until Otakon,
here's Scintilla's new video a little early:
"AMVじゃなイカ? (An Anime Music Squideo!)"
(for those that don't read Japanese, that's pronounced "AMV ja nai ka?"). It's a fun summertime
video about the little squid girl who wants to conquer the human race to get back at them for their
wanton pollution of the ocean... but ends up stuck working at a beach house restaurant to pay off
damages. This also marks the first time AS has released a video in full HD (1080p)!
Both "AMVじゃなイカ?" and Cyanna's "The 800lb. Gorilla"
(not released yet) were selected as finalists in the Dance/Upbeat category of Otakon's AMV contest!
In addition, Scintilla will be the MC for this year's Iron Editor™ competition at Otakon, in which
our two contestants have only two hours to come up with the best AMV they can, out of five animé sources
known in advance plus one Secret Source. There'll also be audience participation games with fabulous
prizes, plus the announcement of the AMV contest winners. So come check it out: Saturday, 6:30-9:30 P.M.,
in Panel 1!
Update: Scintilla's new video "AMVじゃなイカ?" just took home
1st Place in the Dance/Upbeat category at Otakon! Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote on
the videos and make this contest possible. AMV contests would not exist without you, the fans.
6/6/11:
It's summer convention season once again! As usual, we'll be at
AnimeNEXT (June 10-12 in Somerset, NJ) and
Otakon (July 29-31 in Baltimore, MD), and our
new 2011 AMVs will be playing at both cons. (Well, we're already confirmed as finalists at AnimeNEXT, but
the Otakon finalists won't be selected for another month yet, so here's hoping.)
Also, if you're coming to AnimeNEXT, be sure to check out the brand new fan parody from NoN.D.E.
Fanfilms, the same group who brought you "This Is Otakudom" and "S.T.E.A.M.: the Movie":
It'll be showing at 11 P.M. in Main Events -- I've seen the screener myself and it's
hilarious, so be sure to check it out! Especially recommended to fans of Akira, Dragon Ball Z,
classic video games, and other fan parodies.
Also, in case anybody cares, here's 8 years of Aquiline Studios,
by the numbers.
4/4/11: Sorry for being a little late getting the site back to normal. If anyone missed what it looked like for the past three days, I'm keeping it here. (Click any link on that page for even more Engrishy fun!)
3/10/11:
It's just been announced that Scintilla's "And Now, a Word From Our Sponsors"
has won Best Comedy Video in the A-M-V.org
Viewers Choice Awards 2011!
For those of you who don't know, the VCAs are a contest held annually (this was the 10th straight year the
contest has been held!) at AnimeMusicVideos.org, in which ALL of the eligible AMVs of the past year are voted
on by the ENTIRE Org community. For that reason, I'm quite honored (and somewhat shocked,
considering how good the competition was) to be receiving such an award.
A big thank you to everyone who participates every year and makes the VCAs what they are!
11/3/10:
Looks like the Burger Dance is spreading faster than we'd hoped --
Check out this Singaporean Zero cosplayer and his friends getting the fast food fever!
9/13/10:
New video from Cyanna: "Nausea in D Major",
which premiered at Otakon 2010
as a finalist in the Comedy category.
Nodame Cantabile to "Weird Al" Yankovic's "I'm So Sick of You" -- I had no idea
Nodame could be that slovenly.
Consider it an ode to disgusting slobs in your life that you just can't get rid of. :P
Available as an MP4 (x264/AAC) only; if anyone has problems with the file, shoot me an
e-mail and I'll see about getting another
encode available.
Update, 9/19/10: We're proud to announce that this video just won Best Comedy at Anime Weekend Atlanta 16's Expo contest this weekend! In the same contest, Scintilla's "And Now, a Word From Our Sponsors" received the rather fitting "Product Placement Award". Once again we had a blast getting to see and hang out with everyone, and we've already registered to come back next year!
7/30/10:
New video from Scintilla: "And Now, a Word From Our Sponsors",
which premiered a month ago at Anime Expo 2010
(won Best in Show!)
and Japan Expo International 2010
(won the audience vote!), and
is seeing its East Coast debut this weekend at Otakon 2010.
Code Geass supplies the Pizza Hut product placement, DJ ?tzi makes a hit out of a song you might
have sung at summer camp, and it all comes together in this AMV.
Available as an MP4 (x264/AAC) or an AVI (XviD/MP3).
