So it's over. I'm surprised the rest of judges chose videos I previously mentioned in the nomination phase. Honestly I didn't expect seeing some Action and Drama videos there.

Comments:

What I like of this edition of the JCAs was that it got a variety between the selections.
Action category had several entries I just couldn't ignore. Wished I could select them all :o
Surprised to realize Drama had a tie, I thought the category was decided with a fabolous story like Just Talionis, that I honestly said in its time I didn't like it, however I didn't ignore several aspects behind the winner: A storyline that was quitely different to the rest of entries, not to forget the mood. Jus Talionis represents the perfect example of Drama.
While in the VCAs we had problems about the definition of who is considered a rookie, in this edition of the JCAs, seems we didn't have that problem considering the winners. Props to the rest of judges

Fun times :3

My judges choice would have to go to Artistic Anarchy by Echotrooper. Easily one of my favorite videos of the year :D

If I had to give out a Judge's Choice Award, mine would go to Jadecharm for Fame. The choreography/lip sync was just beautiful and it was a great video that shows us that dance videos can have a pretty solid concept outside of just basic dancing. A few editing "quirks" here and there that bugged me, but overall it was just a fantastic piece. [Also, it's freaking viral at my office. One of my coworkers got into my AMV playlist and saw it, thinking it was a cartoon Backstreet Boys music video from the 90's. xD]

Just comparing notes we, judges, gave in action category, I feel like there should be, if possible, a final discussion between judges to "fix" things... I mean, reading all sheets, I judge feel like Ringleader is a winner by default, judges' ops are just so different.
I give a 7 to Puella Royale when S.A.Robert give it a 2, it's just nonsense, for sure each one judges vids his own way but just considering all marks with mathematics is not enough. I dont' mean I was right giving it a 7 but S.A.Robert and me should be able to discuss why there is such a difference in our common judgement...

Anyway, about special prizes :
"The potential editor of the year that we all forgot" : Kitty&Galia (I blame myself for not having thought to add them in finalists)
"The fucking great vid that uses shitty French song" : Puella Royale - Warlike Swans (read : it's possible to make people appreciate a vid with music they dislike)
"The editor who'll never win best Action despite he deserves it" : Dn@

And MimS' choice : Odissey - Heroes of Tomorrow

Rank voting like the kind used here does allow for some interesting voting strategies. You essentially have degrees of up-votes and down-votes or kill votes to take others out of the running with.
