personally, having half the videos in the finals, seems like easily enough, bordering on alot. :o

I don't see a problem with having a few of the categories only have three videos, if the votes for those were way higher then what the (would be) fourth had.

I guess counting actually helps for making worthwhile comments. Nice to see such a variety of videos being recognized.

Wow, it sounds like there's a 60% chance to get into the finals and I still couldn't get in. :\ Ah well, at least Deshi liked my vid! :D

Aye gut reaction and perception was a lot different than what was actually there when you go through it numerically. The difference between glancing at a few categories while you're at work and actually looking through them all at home.

I'm a little surprised and a bit sad that none of the H vids made it into the finals. Not even the cateogrys made it. First time I've seen that. I was pulling for #35!

Should be fairly easy to pick the winners for each category with how few choices there are this year. I'll get to if when I get back from Matsuri though...

Tbh, I wasn't that impressed with the H-videos this year. I'm always hoping for more quality videos in underrepresented genres, but this just wasn't a very strong year for that category.

I gotta give that one on the second disc a bit of respect because it almost offended me. It was the closest I've come in years.

But as a video it was pretty flat.

Only 50 entries.... wow and several have creators who have entered 2 (I know from the second point below)...

over 1/3 of them I seem already in other contests and know who made them...

The aspect ratio seems messed up on several... (I know the discs are not in 16:9 as the ones with hard black borders are stretched.. however, in 4:3, several videos that are suppose to be in wide screen are stretched..)

Nothing stood out as much as to say spectacular

Is Pro becoming a bit of a dumping ground or noone had time to make video for it?

Just some thoughts of mine. On an postivie note, there still are some good videos in there...

I'll never send a video to AWA Pro until I have a pro quality vid, hence I have never and may never be able to submit to said contest. :book:

If someone could PM me the results on the weekend there will be much loving to be had. For Masters as well if at all possible.

I'll agree 100%.
Not sure what happened there but final voting was kind of odd.
The first year where I sat back and had one clear choice in each category. No coin flips or rewatches.
