DV Challenge #2 - Finalists

[Dylan Couper]

DV Challenge #2 Entries

First, before I announce the winners... I must thank Chris Hurd for letting us run this here, as well as running the best damn video forum out there. Next, Guy Cochran and www.dvestore.com for providing some excellent prizes for the winners. After that, I've got to thank DVinfo moderators Michael Wisniewski, Ed Smith, and Rob Lohman who rounded out the judging with Guy Cochran and myself. Judging this one was tough, and these guys put a lot of work in their decisions. Also a second round of thanks to Rob Lohman for helping out with web rendering questions.

And since all you participants have thanked me at one time or another, via email or the forum, I'd just like to say, you are all welcome! It was a lot of work, but a lot of fun, and it also got me off my own butt to shoot something.

And finally, thanks to all of you for entering. If it wasn't for you all....judging would be a lot faster. :) But thanks.
