			<content type="html"><![CDATA[We selected a few finalists, then ranked from these, so there is no complete ranked list of all the entries.  Honestly, it'd be a little meaningless and silly to rank, say, 30 films, from best to worst, this isn't how most video contests are run though I think some of the THAC contests may have set a precedent like that.  It makes more sense to just rank the top several entries because it's easier to judge how good an entry is than how mediocre it is.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Personally I didn't like the concept behind this contest.  Technical ability is one of the few elements of brickfilming that can easily be taught and explained; anybody with time and patience can make their films improve technically.  I don't feel like technical ability is really something that tends to be lacking in brickfilms made by relatively experienced directors, so while I'd include as one category of several for judging a contest I think basing a contest around technical ability, rather than, say, all-around good visuals and storytelling, is an unappealing prospect.

I think the quality of the entries validates this somewhat, while there were quite a few entries in this contest most of them weren't all that exceptional from a technical standpoint because people really did just spend half a day or less on them.

Nonetheless I can see the thinking behind some kind of animation-based challenges and it certainly doesn't hurt to encourage people to work on animation.

Oh, and about the prizes: I'm afraid I'm quite busy for the next month or so (school) but I'll try to get the prizes shipped out after that.  I'll contact you guys for shipping info when the time comes.  Thanks.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[the more I think about it, the more I think the concept of this contest was really interesting. I think it'd be super cool to have a TEC2. with more excellence in animation, more complex scenes. Maybe a theme could help entrants to be more creative and imagine more complex scenes, with powerful animations ?
      The good thing is that it is a one shot contest. Not a long endurance one, just half a day of animation, no need to have a good image quality or become crazy trying to correct the lightning and get rid of the flickers.]]></content>
