    ummmmm…..
    can we have a recall?

  • zip

    #18 – Aaron Patterson (Double Rainbow FTW)

    • http://www.aaronjamespatterson.com/ Aaron Patterson

      Thanks, Zip!

  • http://www.ryanhamilton.ca Hamilton

    I also vote for a redo and a second round at this contest idea. Cash or Envato credit only for prizes.

  • Anna

    Votw for #15, Austen Henry! Its really cool, swear!

    • http://www.noisejunkies.net Rafael Guerra

      Agreed. They are all great though.
      Good luck Austen!

  • Jordy

    #6 Raoul van Kammen
    nice idea!

  • mtec

    #2 is the best

  • http://WWW.BADASHAHFX.WEEBLY.COM ALI

    waiting for April :)

  • Ben

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

  • atomo

    #8 is great

  • Max

    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.

  • http://www.dennisocasio.com Justsambo

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

  • James

    Were we allowed to do tutorials from different websites?

  • Ryan

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

  • Mike

    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??

  • Bob Marshall

    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.

  • http://www.kamalkrishna.com Kamal Krishna

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

  • http://www.odium-garrosh.com Chris Slowik

    Double rainbow all the way!

  • CLANCY

    #18 IS REALLY NEAT…

  • Sue

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

  • Louise

    I think #13 did a great job..keep up the good work Seth

  • Ayarit

    the #13 should be disqualified

    The description says:

    #5 Alexander Dohr
    #16 Jason Ritter :D

    BOTH ARE EXTREMELY PROFESSIONAL LOOKING ADVERTS!!!

  • http://www.damianvarea.es/ Damián Varea

    Me gusta el 09 de Jairo Arráez. Los demás tambié están muy bien, pero me quedo con el dinamismo de Roscachapa

  • rosie

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

  • Michael

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

  • Dan

    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.

  • Seth

    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/

    Top 3:
    [1] – #13 – Seth Piguet
    [2] – #15 – Austen Henry
    [3] – #18 – Aaron Patterson

  • http://www.aaronjamespatterson.com Aaron Patterson

    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.

    • Seth

      Double rainbow…all the way. Nice work Aaron.

  • sam buckle

    #13 is by the far the best.
