Way to go to the winners!

Clearly more reflective if good videos than the VCAs. Not the best, but certainly a lot more agreeable to look at.

I agree. :O

Loved the explainations provided too! :O[/code]

Now for some comments:

- Did the judges watched through all the semi-final videos? Cause that's a whole lot!
- The only thing we need is a side-by-side comparison with the VCA - who's willing to do that? (as far as I can see, but correct me if I'm wrong, almost all of the vids here were in the VCA's finals)

- I hope so.

- I posted a little jpeg with the side-by-side on the first post. O:

I think there are only like 4 votes that I can strongly disagree with, but for the most part I like the judgments more in the JCA than the VCA.
congrats to all the winners.

Sweet, I totally beat that other VCA video for best lipsynch.

This was a totally cool experiment, hope you guys do it again next year.

Yes, I was also a judge also (thanks to all those who voted for me)...

AND YES, I myself watched every video in the semifinals of the categories I could vote for and made sure they all got a fair assessment - I made myself comments of each of them as well! (good thing about that is I got a lot more great videos for the AMV rooms I run!). Lots of good stuff!

I agree with pretty much all the choices!

ALSO, I would like to point out I disagree with JCA>VCA.. I think they compliment each other and are equally valid as both sets of choices are good And remember is was viewers that generated the semi-finalist list that we watched to begin with.

I would like to see more original MEP with a bit more variety... I thought pretty much all of the MEPs really had excellent editing and sync, but in many cases seemed to be in similar style with similar flashy effects and pace. That not to say all were like that as there were some AWESOME concepts, just a observation in general. Do keep up the good work!

fix'd, because Daydream is unique and Magic pad is stuff we've seen a million times before.

Congrats to the winners.

x²

VCA = for viewers
JCA = for editors

So every side should have theire big site contest. Fine, right?

Congatulations to the winners and the judges.^^
I also tend towards the JCAs results than the VCAs but still all were great vids.
Hope next year will be even better!!
