We had a total of 64 entires and yes competition was very tough...
The judges had a hard time this year and there were so many good videos from Both North America, Europe and all over indeed. In fact some in each of the categories were so close and only a point or two apart.. Even a few tie breakers had to be made.
I really wish we could show more in the finals, but as with any event at a convention, we are limited on time in the main events room and having the audiance sit for more than 2 hours gets to be too much...
But everything will be shown on Sunday in a 4.5 hour block so an audiance will get to see every entry, as was last year, I expect that room to be packed to full capacity...

WOW! There are a lot of great editors in the finals. I am honored that you included me among so many skillful people.
When I saw how many really talented people did not make the cut, I knew that this was a tough competition. If your video didn't make it, don't be discouraged. If you loved making your video, that is the most important thing. If even one other person loves it, it doesn't matter if the whole world hates it. Your video is a success. Winning a contest or getting great ops is nothing compared to the reward of the joy of the work and the appreciation of just one person who "gets it."
Keep up the great work, everyone, and best of luck to all my fellow editors in the finals.
Oh, and many thanks to Vlad for a really professional looking job. I am sure that the event will be wonderful. If I could be there, we could sit around and sip adult beverages and trade arthritis medication.

Yes, I quite agree with you and that is the way I look at contests when I enter...RutKiskasca wrote:WOW! There are a lot of great editors in the finals. I am honored that you included me among so many skillful people.

And thanks for the compliment, as an editor myself I try to run the best contest I can. This year for the actual contest, I got two computers (one backup as the contest is played via a netstream), a DVD set and a good old fasion SVHS backup just in case everything else goes wrong. Rest assured, every video will play in it's entirty (crosses fingers)
Matt Pyson (Otakon's past contest coord) put it the best way... running an event at a con is like going to the moon, if you forget something it's too late to go back and get it

I'm running a convention competition too, and I'm hoping my current schedules in life will not make me have to do this half-assed... oh, and yeah, congrats to all... may the force be with you.
