さて「CUT & PASTE 2009 Tokyo」の結果ですが…
負けちゃいました……!
でも1回戦は勝ち残ることができ、Cut & Paste3位入賞です!はーーーー、でも今更ながら悔しくなってきちゃったな。1位になってNYの世界大会に行きたかった!!でも悔いは無いです。本当に色んなトラブルが重なって、過去最高に大変で激しい15分という時間だった。
ただ、悔しさと同時に、大好きな友達が色んなところから応援に駆けつけてくれて、そしてそこでパフォーマンスをすることができて、本当に幸せだった。
オレが一番好きな雰囲気を持ってる、夢だったこの大会に参加できて、本当によかった。他の参加者もみんな気さくで、やっぱり「デザイン仲間」はいいと実感。この出会いを大切に、いつかまた彼らと集まってクールなことがしたい。
今日は人生でとても大きな、意味のある、幸せな1日。
大物の審査員達とはほとんど話す機会が無くて、寂しかったけれど、またそのうち近い将来で一緒に仕事ができれば良いと思う。その時に今回の話が笑ってできたらいいな。審査で作品を少しだけ認めてもらえて、握手ができたことは、嬉しかった。
それと、今回は本当に色んな人のアイデアや、修正を重ねることで、できた1勝だったので、それはみんなのおかげ。ありがとね。なんだか思い返すと色んなことが夢のようで、悲しいわけじゃないんだけど、今は涙が出そう。
ありがとう。
今回作った作品や、イベント自体の写真は、近いうちに Cut & Pasteのウェブ、(Tokyo > 2D)で見れると思います。(良い写真があるのを期待!)[Cut&Paste]、[Cut&Paste - Tokyo 2D Contestants]
はーーー
でも、つかれたーーーー
とりあえず今日はお風呂入って早めに寝ます。
もし今日来た誰かで、良い写真が撮れてたら是非送って欲しい!

My result from Cut & Paste 2009 Tokyo was........
3rd Place.... (Semi-Finalists)....!
Hmm. I hope I could win and get ticket for the world wide final round in N.Y., but I couldn't. I think I should have prepared bit more than I did... However, It was really awesome event as usual, so I'm proud to be one of the contestant team members, and now I feel like really happy, and really sad at the same time. There were so much troubles today, such as my fire lighter didn't work during the 15min competition, I fall over and actually it was unplugging my keyboard... wrong short cut keys on Japanese keyboard and so on... haha, It was must be fun to watch me!
The happiest thing was about friends. Many of my friends came from both Nagoya and Tokyo to support me, I could even meet my cool high school mates there. Other competitors are really cool too. I was happy about that I could get connection with them and able to share priceless moment with them. Hopefully we can keep in touch and able to do something cool stuff together in the future. Maybe "Copy & Paste" or "Paste & Delete". Well,... maybe not. haha
We didn't have much chance to talk to judges, but happy to be judged and got a little complement about work. I hope I can work with them someday in the future, and maybe talk about this fun night.
And one more thing, I have to thank many of my friends for giving me critique and help me tonight's my design idea. Otherwise I wasn't able to win first round, I think. Actually everything seems like dream now, somehow I feel like I'm gonna cry, it's not sad feeling though...
Probably Tokyo competition works ans event photos will upload within few days, check it out from link below then. (I hope it includes cool photo of myself!) [Cut&Paste], [Cut&Paste - Tokyo 2D Contestants]
