It's Your Choice

Our team wanted to create a video that would not only meet the challenge requirements, but inspire our friends and our peers to make the right choice about going to dry grad, and ultimately against drinking and driving. For some people in our group this topic hits very close to home, as one member experienced a crash due to a driver who was under the influence, and another member lost a cousin due to being hit by a drunk driver. We want people to realize that they have control over their choices and the power to be a leader amongst their peers. Each individual has a responsibility. It's your choice.

i was thinkin of the ending being where the drunk girl hits the dry grad girl walking home tho i think it would be hard hitting

@MatthewGorveatte we thought about this, but since it's the same person, it would be kind of weird if the two parallels came together. Also, I didn't want to say "If you go to dry grad, you're going to be killed by a drunk driver anyways."

If there is still any doubt for you guys, let me summarize this for you. Moonlight Sonata was the song used, and its mood summarizes the video; it is beautiful as much as it is sad. Nothing comes close to the honest emotion that this overflows with. Very well done Thomas Ellison and crew on "It's Your Choice".

I don't get how this lost out for first place... This was WAY more creative and had a MUCH better song. Here's to unfair judging!
