It might be the little Godix in me but I've really tried to stay out of any type of conversation about judging or look at these threads but i'm getting pretty ticked off about you people making up stupid excuses why so and so lost and why so and so won by blaming it on the judges for anything other than doing their job (aka, my job).
Videos don't win because "so and so had a better series to work with", "the file size was larger", "there were more cuts", "the video was longer", "the judges hadn't seen the other video's source", "so and so is popular", or a multitude of other excuses i've seen.
Sources are semi random but you are the one who gets to choose them. That has absolutely nothing to do with how I (or any of the other judges for that matter) cast my vote. It has everything to do with wither or not you are able to use the source YOU PICKED. Everything between the editor picking their sources to when Brad tells them to stop editing is all on them. If they can't make a video better than their opponent based on their choices, that's their problem, not mine. I will vote for the video that I think is better.
Videos win because the majority of the judges feel like one video is better than the other. If you're going to make excuses, leave me out of it. Don't tell me why I voted for a video. Take responsibility for your own loss or recognize that you have a different opinion than what the judges felt and leave it at that. I know why i vote for a video over another, i don't like it when people try to say otherwise.
