I would recommend now that you host your screencaps on a server because the attached screencaps are starting to fill up my hotmail's 2 meg limit and it may prevent others from getting their entries to me. I would hate to have someone not make the deadline because of this.

I may be leninent if you don't send screencaps either since we're so close to the deadline like.... less than 24 hours

I'll try to post the rest of the contestants tommorow or sunday night.

Hey Castor

I'm glad you got my email okay. Looking forward to this contest. Hey guys check out Yoko Kurama's Star Wars Excalibur video, you would never believe it was made entirely with Windows Movie Maker.

I think sometimes people who make vids with Windows Movie Maker get a bad rap. Its not a bad editing program and of course, its not the greatest either. But like all video editing programs, the more you learn the better off you are.

Speaking as someone who has used Windows Movie Mkaer, Ulead, Adobe Premiere, Adobe Photoshop, VideoWave and Cool Edit 3-D I can tell you that there more tools you have at your disposal the only stronger of an arsenal you can have for making kick ass vids.

I want to say good luck to all. Its great to be up against you guys. I wish everyone the best of luck

Here we go yo!

I heart WMM, its the only program i've ever used... though im sure I will try Adobe some day. The way I see it is if you can manipulate the clips well enough with the right timing and such, then you dont need big 3D effects or enhanced editing tools to get the emotion across. Just my opinion though...

Cant wait for judging to start, and thanks for putting this whole thing together Castor, you is da man!

I know what you mean MetalGear. I saw your vid and said "wow, he did this with moviemaker." I have said for years its not what you use to make the video, its who is making the video. Sure, you can use a variety of programs but unless you have a clear direction that vid is not going to amount to anything. I feel that vid creators who do use moviemaker do get a bad rap or are classified as "beginners." When actually they have more sense of direction then some people who use Adobe or Ulead.

So I always say its not what you use, its who is making the vid.
