Somewhere between amazing and how-did-this-one-win

Why are the europeans ones all better than the north american ones? Ok maybe the second North American one was better than some of the European ones, still.

For North America I couldn't understand why the first one won, the third one wasn't really good either.

The one that won in Europe was awesome xD.

the russian one was EPIC.

the german one was really well made.

How did the American video win.... The first one was crap, the second one was laggy as hell, and the rest I didn't bother to watch '

The German #1 video was pretty funny lol. The Polish video was kinda "Meh..." I don't really like Claymation. German #2 was pretty good editing, but was basically a montage of SC2 battles between T&Z. Nothing really special. The Russian video was roflcopter epic. Very well made.

The russian one was pretty good; bonus points for in time to the music. The MULE one was quite nice, but i think that should be second, with the russian one first.
American ones were crap compared to the europian ones.

IDK what to say about the first American video. Bad acting, bad scenes, bad music, bad... everything... Muffins for effort? Nah.

That stuff has cult potential.
Sure, it's cheesy dialog, reminds one of starship troopers and basically cliché all over,
but it's the only one that has you inch closer to the screen so you don't miss anything as the tension and atmosphere slowly intensify... don't tell me you missed that?

 

[Sevion]

I hated the first one...

It had crap dialogue, crap sets, crap costumes, and crap actors -_-'

And yes, I do realize that they don't have professional gear.

The video doesn't really capture my attention. To me, it seems like a bunch of hillbilly rednecks trying to look cool and it reminds me of this:

lol at above.

It had some potential, but they didn't use that well.

???
What on earth (or wherever) are you talking about? I felt like edging away through the whole thing. I couldn't even finish it the first time I watched it.

It's very good for an indie mini-film for a contest. There were a few complaints I had, sure, but I was still amazed at the quality. At least the actors weren't 12 years old.

The last American film was the only other decent one, and that one only because of the unique idea. Overall, much better quality content from the Europeans.

Question: Was the russian one done completly with the editor?
If so, then that is fucking amazing.

 

[NightShade]

um, no? I don't see how that would be possible.

 

[Sevion]

um, no? I don't see how that would be possible.

99% of it was done in the editor. It was just title, credits, and music that wasn't.

 

[Arkless]

um, no? I don't see how that would be possible.

What in that video is NOT possible with the ge?

 

[Joker(Div)]

I really didn't like any of the USA winners :/

 

[Sevion]

IMHO, the last one could have been better if it was less choppy and if sounds were used better. For example, in the very end, the ghost just... says.... too much....
