I would agree under most normal circumstances... but really, none of my videos got nominated. -_-
I'm only pissed about the nominations because I didn't get a single one of the nominations I wanted. In that respect I agree with jbone, this particular award is kind of... odd. (at least it's not "Most Improved" though -_-) The only reason I want it so bad is because I have NEVER won an award. And I wanted a VCA from the moment I stepped into the comunity, which was actually even longer ago than a year ago (the math is funky because I'm still working on videos I started working on two augusts ago.)
Anyway, the point was, I just wanted to let you know that I want that award. It's my own shameless advertisement, and let that be that.
Yea, well you've been around for only very short time so don't get so impatient for recognition. I myself have been making music videos for over 16 years now and never felt the need to win an award. The fact that people enjoyed my videos and gave me compliments over all those years was all I ever needed. I didn't win a thing untill about a year and a half ago and I'm 37 years old! So my point don't be in such a hurry or feel you must WIN something in order to get recognition. Hec, some indivuduals here who have never won a thing have more recognition for thier work then some who have won. I thing some would even be shocked to find out how much thier vides are really liked.
Just to get nominated or be a finalists is an honor and recognition of your work and quite frankly winning really don't make a creator any better the all the rest or even more recognized. I myself love the work of a lot of prople here and they include those that never won anything and have been doing it for a lot longer then you have.... The only thing I can say is that you will probably understand what I'm saying a lot better as you get older and spend more time creating videos or antthing else for that matter that others enjoy...
