I think there is an extra layer of intimidation due to the fact that videos use more special effects and are way more impressive looking these days. I'm not sure how many times I've heard newbies comment that they wanted to make a video but they didn't think they could do impressive special effects.

A: I've got the two big ones done already so all that's left is Windows Phone 7.
Wait, what about BlackBerry OS?

A great editor but takes a lot of shit from people no mater what contest she participates in. There's an attitude of "I MUST DESTROY HER AND IF I DO I AM AWESOME!" that a lot of people seem to have. If not that, then worse. CDVV (her studio) gets a lot of crap for being good and winning contests, so much to the point that people have accused them of cheating without any facts or evidence to back it up. Seriously people? And it's not just her. There are plenty of other editors out there that get the same treatment. The sad truth is, this attitude is pushing these people away from the org. We've already seen a number of them leave and other's have thought about, myself included.

But then again, it might have to do with the motivation behind entering the contests. For me, I enter contests to get my AMVs seen (hence why I love it when I get to see audience reaction videos or hear from other people that are physically there), and not so much for the prizes/awards. Others might be into it for the simple desire to "win", and might not be as blase' to losing. (Which is why I usually don't play games like LoL or MW2 online anymore XD)
