Well I went with number 1. It was a tough decision, as there were some great vids but sooner or later I had to make up my mind.

There are 8 vids and only 6 votes????....wow looks like there was more interest in submitting vids than voting for them!!!!

GOOD LUCK to all and BLUE SKIES :D

OK, Whew! Finished downloading and viewed them all!

First of all, I want to say that all of these videos are a credit to the ingenuity and creativity of the authors.  Good job all of you!

To everyone else, it is definitely worth the time to download and view these  creations!  I certainly enjoyed myself.

I went with #8, I really liked the editing, especially how it synched with the music, the effects were superb.   The introduction and how it built up the suspense was masterful. The use of the Active Camera views was also executed very well.  Overall, a very impressive and striking video.  :D

Honorable mention goes to #3.  Love the winter theme.  If I could have voted for both videos, I would have!  :o

Ok, well, After hours and hours of downloading :D Here is what I thought:

1. GREAT Video, Loved the music!!!! Nice angles too.

2.  Another great video, I liked the Cabin annoucements and the Formations, however It made it kinda unrealistic to have cabin anncements (To make it seem like a real flight) yet have another bird following it. I didn't like it how the music suddenly changed to ditto, It didn't suit it at all IMO.

3. Loved the winter theme!!! Nice FPS, didn't like some panning in VC, some Panning in Vegas (I think that is what it was), Seemed abit jerky.

4.  WONDERFUL FPS and Graphics!! Great angles, I didn't think the music suited it though :o

5. Try using fraps and lowering your settings down :D

6.  I liked this one, The music seemed abit 'nothing' for a loud prop though IMO :P.

7. Very Nice!! I was expecting something bad to happen, with the music etc... Maybe not :D

8. LOVED the beggining!! I think the scenes seemed repetative (Same 'thing') Over and over again though towards the end. If the frame rate were a little better it would have been better, Did you turn AA off?

Probably, It might be because Our phone line isn't that 'newish' and we are sharing this connection over 4 computers, maybe thats why :D.

Well that's a slight overreaction :D Who cares? It is just one person, highly doubtful that anyone else would do it so saying that "this is a disgrace" is going a tiny bit too far.

Qantus, I have to voice my displeasure as well.

This contest is running extremely close and a single uneducated voter has the potential to ruin this contest for everyone.

Before I go any further, learn how to spell Qantas. Q-A-N-T-A-S. It's in my name and my sig, it is not that terribly hard.
Now, running close? Yes, but only 11 votes? There is potential for much more votes later in the contest so saying that is hopping on webeagle12's bandwagon and overreacting. A single, uneducated vote from the FS2004.com population of 4,762 is highly unlikely to ruin it for all of us.
