DV Challenge #6 - Finalists

In my opinion, everyone who submits a film is a finalist. Just getting it done is a victory in it's own. Talk is cheap and signing up is free, so actually going through with it is the big step, regardless of who wins. So here is to you guys and gals!

If I missed posting your film, email me ASAP!

Ok, out of all the challenges we've run, there has never been one THIS CLOSE. We've had a few squeekers, but usually one film stands way out. Not this time, and this is one of the reasons I'm so glad I don't judge these by myself!

And finally of course big thanks to Chris Hurd for giving us a home here on DVinfo.net, the best darn video forum out there!

Just to drag this out some more, let me count down to the winner. Using the scoring system, I gave 3 points to every 1st place, 2 to 2nd, and 1 to 3rd. While almost all of the top films scored several votes, the big cut off was at 4th place... so here we go!
