I'll keep my fingers crossed for all the submittants! For me the most important thing in this contest is to motivate people to make their own U-Boat movies and movies about naval warfare. There are too less movies covering this topic and there should be more!

Cheers!

Agreed! Next year I'm getting in on this, going to use Dangerous Waters to get a nuke subsim movie, to add some variety.

Although we are only permitted to vote for a general favorite, I really think that Torpo's entry should win best cinematography, and best soundtrack. Based on that alone, I voted for him for best overall. I think the entry was just stunning.

That being said, the main reason I voted for Torpo was that I had a hard time deciding amongst the other entries in all other categories. Enigma looked pretty damn cool, but the resolution of the video made it hard to tell. Probably a fault on my end. Dolphin also looked like it could be pretty funny, but I guess youtube removed the soundtrack, which kind of diminished the humor value.
Fate was ****ing awesome, possibly better than riding the waves, except in the categories of cinematography and soundtrack, imo. It was difficult to decide between the two, but Riding the Waves reached me on a more personal level.

2ndBestKiller should get mad props if nothing else for beautifully synching the Das Boot sounds with his video. The only reason I eliminated him from candidacy best overall was because of a nitpickiness towards historical accuracy.

Meeting with History, while really cool, was decidedly lacking in submarines. It's a bit of a cop-out judgement, and I am sorry for that, Chisum, but it was so hard to decide which video was the best, I had to start getting really picky.
For the record, you win the "Most Epic" award in my book.

After seeing all the entries, I'm glad that mine was plagued by technical difficulties and time constraints. I would have been quite embarrassed had I submitted mine

Thank you all for the effort and time you put into your entries. It may not mean much, but you entertained this skipper long enough to evoke the ire of his roomate for neglecting duty in the scullery

Good job, guys

Wow, It's just amazes me the talent these folks possess. These movies are truely professional in their editing, visual presentation, soundtrack usage, and entertainment value. Outstanding job!

A word about my own movie to repeat that I have not make it to this contest just for me and before to know this contest exist. It's only by hazard if I'm in the list and it's without any pretention, just toparticipate.

But I promess, next year I'll be back with a real submarine movie.

Last day to get your vote in. Nice to see some of the discussions on the videos.

I'm hoping to announce all the winners this time tomorrow so keep an eye out for the opening of the envelopes. Mind you the peoples choice is looking a little one sided so far.

Thanks to everyone involved and in particular those talented movie makers!
