First of all, hooray, I'm rich!

And now to clear something up so there won't be any misconceptions. This is the first time I'm using After Effects, and when I started out I never thought I would've a chance of winning to begin with. I'm learning myself After Effects through the VideoCopilot, so alot is inspired by that, and the sound effects are even from the VideoCopilot Designer Sound FX.

Now when I've said that, I feel it's important to point out that my 6sec WHM promo clip, is almost a complete rip-off a tutorial from the VideoCopilot Riot Gear DVD. To establish the point, here's a picture comparision of the two:

When I made this one, I never intended to submit it, since I want my work to be as original as possible, and as you can see, this is almost a copy with a few differences. Before submitting it, I told this to the admins through PM, but they liked it and told me to submit anyway.

I wrote this in the movie description aswell, when I submitted it, but I guess that's kind of lost right now. So the point being, I'm not trying to claim this as being completly original from my side, and I'm not trying to hide that either.

That's all I had to say. Now I'm going to wait with claiming my price until the dollar raises in value again and I can go off living like a king

Yay! I'm rich too!
And congratz too all you others who won! I've looked at them all and they're great!
Though I won't be rich for long since we're gonna donate our prize money to cancer research. Our grandma has cancer and we want to help : /.

Anyway, it was great that you guys hosted this contest! It's been fun and from us here at Firebolt Productions I want to say congratualtions to all who won!

Ouch

But congrats dude. Your 6 sec clip was really awsome and certainly deserved the first place

The 6 sec WCM clip I submitted was just a short version of the tunnel clip
