Actually I was thinking the same. This is the situation: 'I see what you did here, but then the video X did better'Kisanzi wrote: Also, it's not as big of a deal as the TTT judging, but it did hurt my feelings a bit that some judges commented on their thoughts of the original videos negatively when it really didn't need to be mentioned. Since they are our favorite videos, I can't help but feel a little sad when reading something like "the effects look cheesy or ugly" on a video that I've held in such high esteem for years, and still do to this day. Not to call anyone out, just know that you made me sad for a few seconds.

I just imagine your arm like, the size of a muscly sailor with a pink anchor tattoo or something.

Spoiler :
I like how I mentioned by name for this, especially when I actually felt I scored your video rather high despite my personal taste. Insulting the judges in your comments probably didn't help. However I didn't read the comments until I scored 4 of the videos, and I still didn't change my mind.
I have actually never seen the original video until this contest, so I can't say I have any personal feelings for it. However I could only see your video as a fairly weak attempt at trolling, so I didn't feel the need to score highly overall (15) and why this is the lowest of the scores I gave you.
Your spin, while the antithesis of the original video, didn't seem all that creative because it just felt as though it was only made for shock value. As you say "just a bunch of porn and gore thrown on the timeline" is pretty much what I got out of this.
I didn't watch the uncensored video because 1. it was not entered into the contest and 2. I didn't feel like being trolled a second time. However I don't think that viewing the uncensored version will change my mind much because it was nothing but shock imagery for "black humor" aka "the lulz". You said so yourself in your comments.
This is video that was begging for a reaction and well you got one. I'm surprised that you seem so surprised about that.

By the way, the final round start date has been moved to Friday of this week. This is to give our finalists a few extra days to breathe before the final stretch. It will be posted sometime in the evening hours.

Not everything I say in my comments is what I judged it on. They are, as labeled, comments.

What a fun ride! I haven't been actively commenting but I've been following this competition and there's been a lot of great vids, this round is no exception. Really wish I could have been in this with you guys ignoring the fact that you'd all have destroyed me, like woah. Me being me, the next theme is the one I've been quite interested in and I can't wait to see what comes from it.

/This round made me want to comment, but I've been following this Org Editor all the way through.
First of all, I've been finding this year disappointing compared to last year as a whole if I'm being completely honest.
The quality of the videos just seems lower in some ways. I've been told to be more honest and say what I think, so I'm pretty much doing that for a change.
For me, the videos this round were ok, I didn't love them, I didn't hate them. My favourite was the remake of Shin's video which I enjoyed much more than the original. Though, I do think Kisanzi really did deserve first place since he pulled off the theme really well! The Ouran video felt a little slow at times but it was really happy and upbeat and it really did pay homage to the original video.
In terms of the whole Animated's video should have gotten through/comments on judges, it's a bit hard to be completely objective if the video is not to your tastes. I mean judges are really just giving their opinion in the end and I actually agree with Nya this time around. While the editing was really solid, I watched the video and all I could think of was 'no' because it's not the kind of video I personally can enjoy watching. I get the whole 'doing the opposite' of the original video thing, but I never got the feeling that it was your favourite video because no one (in my opinion) would change a video so drastically that it loses its charm as a favourite video. I honestly don't understand why you would do that to your favourite video. XD I mean, it's good to do something different but to that extent just makes it seem like a troll video.
Good luck in the next round and congrats to the finalists!
