REVIEWS

Best Video - Let Go by Kitty
Is a fantastic video that traces the dark & seemly impossible father/son relationship. Constantly fighting each other and at odds the Skillful use of black&white with red filter set the mood instantly for this angst filled action packed study of Angel and Connor. A great choice of song - epic, angry & loud - yet with slower passages used to its full potential. A long vid by any standards but not slow and had you gripped from beginning to end. A great deal of thought and work has gone into this project and this clearly shows.
I love the use of zooms and pans that prevents any sense of 'static' and it enhances the movement of the vid. You have used the music to the full, matching internal motion during the fight scenes and I love the 'stuttering' clips at the drum beats like at 0.55 and 1.02. There are some great lyric matches and the use of mirrored action between Angel and Connor was cleverly put to use.
I also liked the series of overlays at 1.57 to 2.00 with the prophecy and the spin was very effective in conveying the sense of chaos. Also the use of stills from 2.35 through to 2.53 intense and powerful like moments frozen in time. The section at 3.20 where you remove the red and the headlights turn into the shine of the city buildings is a lovely transition into a quieter reflective moment which then shatters as the 'red' returns as Connor strikes the wall at 3.28. The final section back to black & white - almost an epilogue to the main event if you like - is heartrending to say the least and finishes perfectly as Angel watches his son leave. An excellent vid that does my favourite show justice and to echo the sentiments of my co -judge - I miss my show.

Best Video RU - Right Place, Wrong Time - Rae
A fun, action packed vid with heart and plenty of soul. Inspired music choice and a pleasant change to have a 'softer' rock song used for Supernatural, it works really well and all the instrumental beats/sounds are married with internal motion and wonderful facial expressions just perfect for all the sticky situations in which Dean & Sam finds themselves .For a very angst filled show the humour is often overlooked in fan vids and this entertainingly captures that aspect and make you smile from beginning to end.

Judge's Choice - Too Little Too Late - whereistheluv
When a vid suits your mood or just hits the right spot then it will stay with you a long time, the song will stay stuck in your head and suddenly a relationship that perhaps you weren't necessarily keen on takes on new dimensions. This is what happened with this vid.
Edited with care and attention to detail that gives it a real professional feel that would not be out of place on MTV (probably better than most things on there but that's another story) the soft glow on the footage and pacing are perfect and you cannot see where the original music vid ends and VM begins. The clip to lyric matches are carefully chosen and the photos in the frame/on the wall are beautifully done and add a nice touch to the story. A delightful vid that won me over this round.

Best Video - Let Go – Kitty
The music choice and the decision to go monochrome with flashes red help build up the angst throughout the vid. The counterbalancing of action and intense emotion illustrate the sheer drama of this twisted father & son relationship in an awe-inspiring way. A truly heartbreaking look at one of the most complex storylines in the show and a masterful summation. The mirroring of the characters' actions captured in overlays and freeze frames shows a remarkable (and justified) confidence. Wonderful, angsty, heartbreaking. Man I miss this show…

Best Video RU & Judge's Choice - Right Place, Wrong Time - Rae
The use of internal movement within this vid is something that blows me away every single time I watch it. The clip choices are subtle and yet somehow perfect. I adore how this vid manages to utilise some of the most emotionally intensive clips from the show and yet still manages to keep the grin on my face for the entire thing. Kudos!
