    If you took the time to read the first post you will see the emphasis in this video contest is to be funny, no where does it say that you have to be the da vinci of video editing. That being said if some one did a better job at video editing shouldn't mean that the others should get special privileges. Part of what makes a funny sitcom is the ability to convey the joke or punchline in a way that everyone can understand it and if it can be conveyed clearly more people will get it. Also look at the calendar contest... there's entries of varying caliber but yet they are all still judged together, this is that case with all forms of artistic-expression-type contests: video, graphics and literature.

    If you're not happy with your video editing skills why not brush up on some tutorials online to be ready for the next round? You'd be surprised what you can do with just windows movie maker =3 That's what I did... I had no idea how to make videos so I read stuff I found on google and various mv communities, asked friends for advice, and watched some of the videos from the previous contest to see what the judges liked and what they didn't in terms of actual video footage. I tried to figure out what made the winning entries last time stand out from the rest. Then I took what I learned and tried to apply it.... dunno if I succeeded but I did my best and put in a lot of preparation.

    Also humor is a very personal subject. Just because I find something funny doesn't mean someone else will find it funny... we have no idea what the judges like in terms of jokes and comedy so that's a large swing factor. One clear clue to their choices in humor was the fact that spoons mentioned several times in the first post that the humor should be PWI related.

    "Through the darkness light can always emerge, it is only when the unwilling come upon this light that fear takes over. Emerging from this darkness takes more then courage, it takes faith in ones own mind and more importantly in ones own heart. To deny the light is to deny yourself the feeling of true happiness and true peace within your own soul. Denying your own happiness and your own soul is denying all that one has to live for."

    Ok maybe it's just me.. But weren't they suppose to be sitcoms? These look more like trailers for movies.. And none of them aren't really funny either.. :\

    But gratz anyway!

    Sitcom ish trailers, like the examples. I know it seems about the same, but if we added some canned audience laughter(somebody should have!) it would feel more like a sitcom

    Sitcom previews. Trailers, commercials, etc. It'd be nearly impossible to have an entire sitcom episode in under 2min.
