Highly subjective impressions of Vividcon III (still the tl;dr version)

In case there is any doubt, this is still the con report that is mainly for me as a memory prompt. :)

I've got a *possibly inappropriate* question about vid cons. Do they ever have really not great vids there? I mean it makes sense that all these people you mention are kind of the cream of the vidding crop and are really into it, so their vids are great and all that, but...do newbies to vidding (or even people who love it but kind of are sloppy and choose bad clips and have crap pacing, etc.) find these cons and submit their stuff sometimes? Is there a screening process which ensures some kind of quality and if so, does that make it exclusionary or non-exclusionary? I'm just curious because I've always wondered how they work exactly.

No such thing as inappropriate questions

Ah, thank you. That's all very interesting. :) I have a flister who I know wins monetary prizes at cons for her vids on occasion! It's all very baffling to me. :)

Ahhh! Those would be bigger fandom cons (rather than a specific vidding con), I'm guessing? I know very little about those. I should check them out really but I am lazy. :p

I'm not sure either! Possibly in Europe? She's from abroad.

No idea. I've never been competitive about vidding so have not really looked into such things. *iz lazy*
