As requested, here they all are folks. The judges are judging, and the winners will be announced here on Sept 15th!

Here is an excerpt from the message to the judges (LithiumDoll, MalNourished, 11thHour, jtskier1200r, and me):

Quote:
Forty-nine entries were submitted...the entries on this ballot are split into 4 categories:
Best Series Trailer
Best Episode Trailer
Best None of the Above
Best Episode Catalog (All episodes by one vidder -- 4 or more entries)

Here are some points to keep in mind that may help your judging:

These vids will be used to introduce Firefly to people who don’t know about the show.

A vid of winner caliber should hold up to repeated viewings, just like any well-made movie.

Please take a moment to write a short comment about each vid on what worked and what didn’t. There is a place under each entry for your comments. These may help if you get stuck on scoring. Also, these comments will be forwarded to the vidder anonymously, so be honest and constructive. The vidders took the time to create entries for the love of the show, and any feedback that could help them improve their craft would be appreciated.

Before you start, take a moment to read the contest instructions for context (first post):

http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=22792&m

Please return this email to me with your scores/comments by September 10. That’ll give me time to tally the votes before announcing the winners on September 15th. It would also give us enough time to do an elimination vote in the case of a tie!

Happy viewing everyone! There is a ton of hard work here. Thank you (and you know who you are)!

You know Hera, in all this you've thanked each vidder, and encouraged them and answered questions and been available 24/7 practically.

You've thanked Jtskier1200r for his contributions to helping us round up folks, inform folks of the contest and just plain scour the web for folks who might like to take part. I want to extend my thanks to him too.

But I also want to thank you for a job well done. This was an awesome amount of information to keep and time to commit. You've done a great job! Thank you Hera!

Hey, for some reason youtube is screwing with my third video, I'm currently trying to reupload it, so I'll post the fixed link back up on this one as soon as it's working. Sorry to everyone who favorited it!

THEFORCEMONKEY

Bingo!

Okay, here's the new one. Sorry about the hassle.

I third that.

I have been truly impressed at how interactive Hera has been throughout this, and how smoothly everything has been going (so smooth that I took it for granted!).

Thank you Hera for heading this wonderful endeavor to bring us Browncoats together and to get the word out into the black!

And thank you FollowMal for dragging my sorry butt out of "retirement", I've really enjoyed it :D

WOW! These are great. I'm sending my favorites to introduce friends to the 'Verse.

To Hera and anyone else that helped make this a reality. THANKS!

When you've watched them all, you might want to check out a very creative (and funny) Serenity movie trailer. It tickles me every time I watch it. The Universal trailer is done with Legos.

Thank for the response Kaneman. Yeah Hera you did a good job compiling and getting everything going well here. Also if it wasn't for jetskier(sp?) I never would have known about this contest. Thing is, if anything I really loved the show and movie and it is very unfortunate to have it never continue on. I had fun doing this, out of the ones I have seen I really enjoyed them. Everyone on here has done a good job.

No worries, FM. I'll make sure the judges have the repaired link. Also replaced it in this post above, in case readers don't get down this far.

You're welcome, Tzegha. I've enjoyed this. Meeting new people is great fun. They all have stories...

And FollowMal is good at inspiring folks to go above and beyond, that is true. She's a keeper!

Best,

A big THANK YOU to Hera for the support and all the shiny Browncoats who have made this contest possible. All we have to do now is get as many people watching them as possible cos they all sell the series really well. Everyone from the organisers to the trailer makers should feel proud.

'Poor little thing. Never even saw the light of day, now its in showbusiness!'

Thanks SunnyJ. Your kudos mean a lot.

Bump. Ow.

Hera,

I also want thank you for all of your hard work. You really are a special asset to this community. I hope to be able to keep working with you in the future...

We try to do the impossible, and that makes us mighty.

Thank you for the thanks, Jtskier. I look forward to working with you again too. But...work? Who said this was work?

-Hera

Sigh. Seems email notification is down again. Bummer.

Very creative. I like how you blended the clips from the different shows. Summer is fantastic in both roles. STAY AWAY from that Academy!
