Best Video (Editing RU, Drama RU, Overview, Ensemble, Music Use) - Goodnight Moon - By Bradcpu
As I've said before, this is the Halloween tale of 'Heroes Happy Families' - Brad style! Such a spine tingling mood piece that is to date the best Heroes vid I have seen, you manage to combine so many character's story and weave it into a successful ensemble piece.
A creepy atmospheric vid with a suitably spooky song showing us all the dysfunctional family (adopted or natural) relationships in the show, you use some fantastic parallels - DL raising finger to say 'shh' mirrors that by Jessica, Nicky/Sylar sliding down the door, Nathan & Sylar's Mothers touching (eep!) their sons faces - and the transitions are a pure delight. The section from 1.05 'Good Night Moon' through to 1.25 gives me chills, the haitian's hand coming up to stifle this viewers whimper. And the unease and overwhelming 'creeps' increases with the whispered lyrics at 2.54 to 3.09 and and you move into Nathan/Sylar's stories - I adore the frozen clip of Sylar's Mother at 4.00 and the ending is a master(key)stroke.
This vid feels very instinctive and flows (like the blood!) all the way through, building on that undermining sense of unease and creepiness and ends with a huge shudder! (In a good way) Excellent!!

Best Video RU (Editing, Drama, Character, Music Use RU Narrative RU) - The Noose by Meivocis.
Atmospheric music sets the mood as dreamlike we fly over the city ,intercut with Peter falling slowly from the building also as in a dream.
That mood shifts with the introduction Peters visions/growing awareness of 'future' and you build a sense of disorientation with the odd jumpcuts and hard edits that work so well but probably defy my explanation. The section from around 1.10 - confrontation with Sylar to the opening window scene 1.21 is very compelling as is the city scene from 1.52 to 2.20 which has a nightmarish feel.
The final section picks up the pace with a nicely timed explosion at around 3.33 and faster cuts building to the climax and superb ending scene, this is an expertly edited and enthralling mood piece that is a must for all fans of Heroes. Great job.

Judges Choice (Most Humorous, Episodic)- C'mon C'mon by Becca84
You set the scene instantly with the fast cuts at the drum snares and excellent credit sequence and we're off! Such a wonderful song for the show, You used all aspects of the music to the fullest with great use of internal motion with clips that keep pace with the tempo, all adding to that sense of humour, action and excitement.
It felt as if you had really captured the pilot episode perfectly and couldn't help but smile all the way through. I loved the use of all the facial expressions and how you intercut computer stealing ninja scene. Such a fun, well edited video that was a pure joy to watch every time. As the Captain would say - "Awesome" ;)
