The first vote goes to Tex.:up: Good vid, sir!

[AVGWarhawk]

Quite the gentleman Stabiz!

[Nisgeis]

Both were great, but I have to choose one and Stabiz gets it by a hair.

[Tex]

Thanks for that stabiz! The second vote goes to you my friend, nice work with all your videos! I enjoy them all, but I really did like your work with the Battle of Midway. Thanks for taking the time to make it for the contest. :up:

[TypeVII-Skipper]

Tex - your video pwns. The others were good too. Great work!!!:up:

[cwelt]

Loved all the movies very much, a very hard choice to make. Good job by all!!

[AVGWarhawk]

Dead even heat for Tex and Stabiz. Come on guys make your vote!!!

[Tex]

Thanks folks! :up:

Close competition indeed! Watch all 3 videos and place your vote people, we worked hard on them. :)

I've always liked Stabiz's films, they are always produced really well. I loved the ending to this one with the boat returning to that song.

For this one though, I would say Tex's film was a bit better in my eye. I felt the intro was very nicely done with the ships and planes passing the bridges. Was very cool and something you don't really expect.

For all three film makers, I say very well done! I want to see more! :up:

[AVGWarhawk]

I finally got a chance to check these out. My observations:

Stabiz:

As usual, quality work. The subject matter of Midway was a good choice and one that turned the tide of the war. Camera work was excellent! Of course the music selection was appropriate and I have to say the last song, A Hero Comes Home brought a bit of a tear to my eye. :cry: I like the comment/dedicated to all the Nutters at Subsim and UBI. You got us to a 'T' :rotfl:


Tex:

Brilliant start to your video. Showing all the forces headed to the land of the rising sun. Showing San Fran and New York gearing up and heading out. Absolutely brilliant. Of course the sound track chosen was great. The sound track was fantastic from the movie Pearl. I see you put a lot of thought into your work. Camera work was great!

Nisgeis:

What can I say bro? The subject matter was whatever the creater wanted. You created a video on the submarine and what it was about. Although yours was short and sweet, it was awesome! I loved the use of the game sounds with the game music! I really did. Your camera work was good. I have to say for your first try, awesome.

My vote goes to Nisgeis for a job well done and entering his creation knowing he was standing in the shadow of video giants.

[Tex]

Excellent review AVGWarhawk! Thanks for taking the time to watch all 3 and leave us your observations. :up:

PS: Check out the end credits of mine if you missed it, I included your name along with everyone else who was involved with the ROW addons so you guys are now famous. :D I figured that was the least I could do for you folks as you guys really did a super job making ROW. I didn't hear the news about LeoVampire until after I released it or I would have included a comment and dedication to him as well, however he is listed in the credits under creators.

RIP Leo and thank you all creators, testers, and everyone else who helped to make ROW what it is today!

[AVGWarhawk]

Yes sir, I did see the end credits:up:. I just got a good laugh at Stabiz calling us Nutters.:rotfl: The beginning of your movie was really brilliant.

Well, I'm a day late and a dollar short as usual. Sorry I missed this thread until now.

I liked them all.

I would have voted for Tex, but really a toss up.

I viewed the Stabiz and Tex vids about a month ago. Have watched them both twice since then. Great work and I really enjoyed them.

Nisgeis, your vid was a welcome sight. Enjoyed it also. Will be watching for more of your work.

Thanks to all for the time it must have taken to produce these films.

[stabiz]

Congratulations, Tex!

A bit dissapointing amount of votes overall, but the best video won in the end.:up:

Thanks guys. ;)

Yea I totally agree, it was a bit disappointing to see so few votes for such a large community. Not sure why, but once again, thanks to those who did take the time to participate and vote. :up:

[Nisgeis]

Thanks to all who took the time to view and well done to Tex.

Hurrah! I got more than 0 votes, so I'm happy. :D
