Yeah... but according to what you said you gave out points to the videos, so I was just wondering why you didnt list how many points each video had... it would be nice ^_^

I won't be listing the individual points for every video because it would cause a major uproar between contestants. Trust me, it will. Plus I will not give out points to anyone privately, not even the winners.

*burns the paper with the point scores on them*

Maybe because...

There where never any points! It was all a scam to get your beautiful, beautiful videos and now he's gonna make millions off of the marketing for "WMM Videos gone wild volume 3"!

Or maybe it would cause an uproar, ya know, either way.

Plus if I listed the individual scores, some people may complain why they got a lower score than whatever video above them and the ones with the lowest scores would feel really bad for being on the bottom. I wanted everyone to have fun entering this contest and if one person found out he or she was the lowest score in the contest, that would really ruin their day.

I really DON'T want to deal with any whiners and sore losers so the reality of it is, if you didn't win, you didn't win. If I posted the scores, then the bottom people would feel like losers. I appreciate everyone's effort that they took the time and interest to join the contest so nobody should feel bad for not winning.

And for the winners, dongster and Ari, if you don't get my email by tuesday, send me a pm with your addresses so I can get the prizes sent out.

grats to the winners, I thought Dongster's video had a strong chance of winning before hand since I had the pleasure of oping his video beforehand. It is good proof that excellent timing can be acheived with wmm.

Now I need to download the other 2 vids that won ;p

I agree that Dong's vid did deserve to win and I will op each of the vids in the competition. I will start with the winners and work my way down the list. I really liked Dong's vid a lot. I have seen an Ippo vid like this before but not in the way he showcased it. He really did a spectacular job on the video as a whole and I have to say that he absolutely without a doubt deserved to win.

I think what this contest shows most of all is that whether you have been making vids for 6 months or 6 years, you can learn a lot from others. I know this contest has taught me a lot and I'm going to be sure to apply it in the next video.

I also enjoyed Aritoyoma's vid a lot. It was funny as hell, the timing was great and truly did deserve the second place spot because it had humor, bang up direction and excellent timing.

I did not think though tha the third place video deserved third place. All though it was a good vid, I saw a lot better vids in this competiton which easily could have beaten it. I'm not saying that to be whiny or a witch but I am being objective and stressing a point.

None the less, the judges have spoken. This was a great contest. I am glad to have met a lot of you and I'm glad to have spoken to some familar names too

All in all, I had a great time with this. Its been over a year since I entered a tourny and this was terrific.

Peace

And to quote my all too familar tag line.

See ya on the next vid

Best Regards,

J
