Ah, I'm glad my video came across as post-modern and not just half-arsed. it originally had hands in it, doing minority report style editing, but doing a good job keying it turned out to be difficult with an hour left till deadline.

Wow judges didn't really fuck around with tearing my video apart(in terms of scoring). I'll admit I never had any ideas where I would promote the org in a friendly manner but I still don't think my vid is too far off from promoting the org as a home to a selected group of people in general. I can't really complain though since I had more fun compiling the Welcome to the Dollhouse clips than I did with recording myself and everything after was just a bore to make.

And sorry for the lipsync, but... it's kinda hard to present a MUTE community doing AMVs... @_o

I feel I should respond or something. Good lipsynch is something I love, so lipflap annoys the hell out of me even if it has a perfectly good reason to be there - which it had in this case. There could've been a bit less of it or it could've been timed differently or accompanied by other stuff like symbols for ideas and crap like that but hey, you didn't exactly have a lot of time to think this thoroughly through. So, despite writing what I did in the comment, I didn't actually deduct many points for that (I'm judge 5 in this round).

As for sucking up to the co-ordinator I was thinking that if I advertised a competition on the org it would draw more users to come over to take a look...?

I guess I just didn't see the point of advertising the contest you're participating in when the theme was focusing on the site/community. The simple aesthethics of the clip were to my liking if it makes you feel any better

If it's any consolation, the first part of your video honestly had me in utter disgust [never seen that film]. I haven't been in utter disgust in YEARS. You broke my jaded attitude. XD

That's cool - it usually annoys me too, so I know how you feel. It's hard to make lipflap right and my try probably failed for you, no problem with that ;x

After all my bashing of people not knowing their schedules and being able to edit family tore me away from the day I thought I would have to judge these and I didn't get a chance to XD... oh the wonderful hypocrisy.

At least you have Godix pre-flipping you off for skidding past the first round.

Imma sorry about being so uncreative this round, I guess? :>

The lipflap made sense to me o_O Besides, it's instrumental so it really wasn't that big of a deal.

In my opinion, the video wouldn't even feel right without the lip flaps. Its clearly about a discussion among friends that are editing a video. Without lip flaps, it would seem like they were just watching and not actually working together.
