Never hurts to try. What's the worst they can do? Say "thanks for your entry"? I don't know what the time frame was like there, but it did seem you needed to do some editing. Even my hack stuff can take me <2 hrs.

[StarscreamKills]

Yep, I see why you won. You made a nerd fest look like an epic clash to save the world. Almost makes me feel noble for playing! ;)

It was a great video, lots of HARD editing, not "poetic/lyrical" but "epic." I think Odysseus and not Shakespeare we I experience your vid. Very good packaging, A+++! Gave you a "5" on your vid. Treat yourself to copious back patting, you earned it!

I wasn't too impressed with the winning entry. A slideshow set to music doesn't require a lot of work or planning. I understand how you might not want to choose Cameron's entry because of it's "anti-commercial" nature, but it was more creative, more entertaining, and it told a better story.

the winning entry was a slideshow set to sort of default dramatic music? That's kind of disappointing. The one by Davis was the best - the "counterspell!" scene alone makes it.

14 entries? I should've threw something together!

[dasoboe]

I won, Hooray! My name only got a little butchered ^.~
