I really like #35.

Best Overall:
35 None of the Above

Really?

Really.
I loved #35 and I voted for it *shrugs*

Personally, for most of the categories, there was one video in the finals I was comfortable voting for. I think there was only 2 I didn't vote in.

What's so wrong with #35 anyway?

It's kind of sad how much people insult their friends with out realizing it through these anonymous reviews D:

Still, that's better than someone pretending to like my video because it's mine. It's why with my videos, I kinda play them close to the chest, so to speak. I'd rather get a brutal, honest opinion.

I'd like to play close to your chest 8D


Well, of course I see why they do the anonymous contests and reviews. It is the fairest way to do judging, but it's still interesting at the end of the contest when everyone finds out whose was whose. Then it can get somewhat awkward.

Honestly, I really liked that about the vid discussion posts, I wish we would have got more of them. Even if my vid did get chewed apart by most

It's kind of sad how much people insult their friends with out realizing it through these anonymous reviews D:

You think realizing it would stop everyone? I know who made like a dozen of these, not I'm guessing but I know for a fact who made it. I have yet to feel the need to apologize for any of my comments. That's the idea about pro, it's all about the videos rather than the creators. Personally I find it interesting to read the various comments people have made. Not even the comments on my videos, I already knew what the reaction would be to those before I entered, but the comments on others and how different some of our taste and judgments are.

Well, no, I know you don't feel the need to apologize. And no one even needs to apologize, it's how the judging works and should be, it's just interesting to see how many people insult some of their close friends' editing when it's anonymous. Nothing wrong with it, it's just amusing... in a way.
