All the winners are really creative and I am amazing at the depth and breadth of the productions going on here. Some really top notch talent is hanging around here now competing! Congrats also to the brand pro quo: They really picked some great creative here . no hedging bets this time or over thinking it. They just picked A plus stuff! I wish I could have participated - I had a film in Tribeca film festival this year so I was drunk there instead of filming cool stuff! I want to give all the winners a big warm congrats!

Some of these videos that you told us to try to make so they could go viral... a lot of these have 1 glaring flaw or another (in addition to being a commercial, which we cant help). Even though I LOVED the medieval junkmail one, it took 40 seconds for anything to happen. It has been estimated that 8-10 seconds of inactivity will lead to a closing of the window. and i didnt mean to pick on that one, because its one of the better ones, but it did not make itself for the purpose of garnering a lot of views AFTER the winner was chosen... at least not views that will see the end.
