Wish I had the time to make a theme video for the contest too :-/

All the categories look pretty intense, especially that upbeat category... 7 people enter 1 person leaves on life support. Brutal.

So, about that. We already obtained the trophy and prize support for the theme category even though it only had 3 entries - it seemed a bit silly to just discard them, so the category stayed and we took the highest rated videos in the prescreening that did not make the top 5 in each category and used them to pad the contest out to the standard 30 videos total. It just so happened that the top scorers were both in upbeat/fun/etc.

Looking back on my numbers, it seems that 5 of the top 6 scorers (after taking the initial round of finalists out) were all in Upbeat/Fun/Etc. It was a very strong category.

I was planning on posting all the winners in here after the announcements were done, but I had a little bit of an eyeglass mishap and can barely see. They'll go up soon.

Thank you for all that you've done to keep those of us who couldn't be there informed ! With the twitter feed, I felt as nervous as if I was there...

Ileia... that Hellsing video is beyond amazing. I loved it!

I agree! There were a lot of amazing videos this year.

I still say the Lain video was a drama, not comedy, though.
