Here's a better link to the 'top 10%' list - it has 'all years' selected

Koopiskeva's "Euphoria" (which is actually the top ranked vid - uh, whatever) - it's a good example of moving away from simple "preset" effects and using the "preset" effects to combine them to create something quite unique - more "home-grown" effects. I believe that all of the top videos would have unusual combinations of effects.
They're fun to watch, and great for ideas.

Enjoy the comp. ^^
