    There are a handful of quality renders here.
    But #16 Jason Ritter really nailed it I think.

    Most are pretty average – just doing the photoshop tutorial and animating the objects sliding or popping in. They didn’t give the concept a proper think.

    But I think #13 and #16 are the best.

    So shaky, some bad, some good. But #13, I really like. Sound technique and fun soundtrack.

    Number 17# really stood out the most for me. Nice job.

    I think a lot suffered from creative development, but good for those who took a shot and threw their hat in the ring. Something more of us should have done.

    Creativity wise #16 all the way, Took a good PSD and developed a creative way of integrating it in motion.
    #7 was good but just seemed to end abruptly

    For those talking about redo’s and recalls where were all your submissions??

    13 should be disqualified, in the description for the contest you said psdtuts website ONLY.
    even though it is absolutely awesome, it makes it unfair for everyone else.

    i doubt the selection panel,
    am sure there are better entries.
    #13 should be disqualified.

    #13 nailed our world as it is! That gave us reality, and Patterson’s rainbow gave us hope.

    #17 is actually amazing, the effects are so good, looks like it should be in a film

    No. 13 is “Great.” This person has really grasped this concept.. Does he need a job? :)

    As much as 13 is cool, I think that is a common effect that isn’t even based off of a PSD tutorial. I still give it props, but it shouldn’t be in this competition. My favs are #17, #15, and #7. Those guys nailed it.

    I created #13. I found the tutorial on psdtuts, but didn’t realize until later that it was linked from a different site. Here’s the psd tuts page. http://psd.tutsplus.com/articles/web/53-crazy-good-digital-photography-tutorials/

    Other than my own video #18, my other favorites are #15 & #16. I really think they did a great job with making something better out of the tutorials.
