Oh no ! I can't believe it ! i won a brickfilm contest ! lol !

i'm just sad about how this contest was not "played" (?? I don't find the good word) ... I mean, i've got the impression the entrants were not very combattive. My film was not a truly impressive piece of technical animation, and i ended second ! if all the entrants had worked on it sth like, what, 3 hours ? ther certainly could have been much better entries !

but it's the game, so I'm quite glad (and a bit proud too) to have finished second. I'd like to thank my mom, cause without her nothing of this could have been possible.

And Darkman, i remembered I had entered, but, well, that was so long ago...

And Smeagol, thanks for judging, its a good thing this contest is now closed.

And thanks to you randomparrot... I nearly never go on the contests forum!

Wow! This was a great suprise! I don't know how I didn't see this thread yesterday. Congrats to all who entered especially timfee, and Smeagol for getting this judged.

In case anyone's interested, the judges were: 0ldscratch, Leonardo812, Dave, VN, Blue_Ghost, LegoShark, and myself.  Thank you to you guys for sending in ballots!

Personally I didn't like the concept behind this contest.  Technical ability is one of the few elements of brickfilming that can easily be taught and explained; anybody with time and patience can make their films improve technically.  I don't feel like technical ability is really something that tends to be lacking in brickfilms made by relatively experienced directors, so while I'd include as one category of several for judging a contest I think basing a contest around technical ability, rather than, say, all-around good visuals and storytelling, is an unappealing prospect.

I think the quality of the entries validates this somewhat, while there were quite a few entries in this contest most of them weren't all that exceptional from a technical standpoint because people really did just spend half a day or less on them.

Nonetheless I can see the thinking behind some kind of animation-based challenges and it certainly doesn't hurt to encourage people to work on animation.

Oh, and about the prizes: I'm afraid I'm quite busy for the next month or so (school) but I'll try to get the prizes shipped out after that.  I'll contact you guys for shipping info when the time comes.  Thanks.
