Video Manipulations Challenge - Winners

I know I say this everytime but the quality of videos was superb and firstly I want to say that I was not expecting so many submissions when I started this challenge! The idea was to get around five or six submissions and then to create a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place! Getting 17 videos really overwhelmed me but rather than giving out a lot of awards (and I could have because every video deserved at least one award) I kept to me original plan of 1st, 2nd and 3rd place but also added three Special Mention Awards which are also given with the highest regard!

If you didn't win an award, I am really sorry but I only had a few places left and so had to make some really tough decisions.

I want to give an extra shout out to xxloveEdwardCullenxx. I felt that I did not get a chance to judge your videos properly because although your descriptions were AU, I do not know the film at all to be able to judge them. I did however think that what a saw was both creative, well planned in terms of effects and better still has inspired me to watch the film! As soon as I have watched, I would love for you to submit to my standard rounds so that I can judge your work more objectively :)

On with the awards folks and thank you very much for submitting!

 

Absrip - This was absolutely brilliant from start to finish! The video was hot, creative, well editted, kept my interest and the effects were superb! You really have a knack for Sam/Dean slash videos and I would love to see more in the future. Thanks for also submitting to my regular rounds!

 

Jaidenwold - I can't believe you don't create more AU's! This was amazing! I was enthralled with your storyline and I will be watching 4400 in a few weeks, that is how much your video inspired me! The plot was original and well put together, I had goose bumps throughout watching!

 

 Absrip - Very sexy indeed! I loved the looks Dean was giving while Alex was showering! The whole video had a longing sense to it kept up the suspense and this in itself made it quite sensual! Your manipulations were excellent and the quality overal was extremely high - what I have come to expect from your fabulous videos!

 

Tami Brandt - All three of your videos were really good and flowed perfectly with the storyline of OTOSOF, Coming Full Circle and Visions of You (anyone who hasn't read them I urge you to!) Your Breathe Me video stood out because I was captured from the beginning exactly as I was whilst reading and got a sense of loss from Spike and Angel when Dru goes missing and they call on Seeley for help. From then on the video played itself really well and I particuarly liked your use of Dru clips moving the video on nicely.

 

 Teytos88 - From judging this video a few rounds back, I found I was just as captured by it today! The voiceovers to me is what made it unique and the whole video was believable and well editted. I thought the clip I have used for your award was a particular good scene and looked very realistic.

 

Veiriti - Well what can I say about this?! Absolutely brilliant! I really liked everything about it and thought the song was both funny and sexy! You can never get enough naked Angel and Spike in a music video and to pair them up together is like a dream come true! No wonder you have so many great comments on Buffytube! Keep up the amazing work please!

 

That's it folks! Thanks for reading and look out for my next challenge............
