Here we go again!
In my opinion, everyone who submits a film is a finalist. The challenge is to get a movie finished in about 10 days, so just getting it done is a victory in it's own. Let's face it, talk is cheap and signing up is free, so actually going through with it is the big step, regardless of who wins. So here's to you guys and gals!
The DV Challenge #9 Prize! Don't forget, you don't just win glory, you win GEAR! GOOD GEAR!A huge thanks to Guy Cochran at www.dvestore.com for putting up another killer prize...A Bogen 561B fluid head monopod.
And thanks to Chris Hurd for running www.dvinfo.net the best damn video forum on the web!
And now the films!
First, this film (since it's mine) is NOT eligible to win, so although I know you'd all give it first place, you simply can't vote for it... sorry.

Honorable Mentions
I usually post the names of the films that scored a significant amount of votes, even though they weren't in the top three. These are usually films that got 3 or 4 votes, regardless of the total points. While almost all films score at least a vote or two, getting four is significant enough to warrent a nod, so in no particular order, congrats to:
Jesse Steele “In Person”
Bryan Wilkat "Victorious"
Dick Mays “Feng Shui”
Kevin Randolph ”Meating Melody"
You guys did well, and could have been contenders.. could have been somebodies... Like these next guys!
Second runner up
Jon Jones “Hindsight"
Nice work Jon, you were barely a vote behind...
First runner up
Ronn Kilby “Brian Takes A Meeting”
Great short Ronn, you were only a few votes behind.
And now...What you've all been waiting for...
THE WINNER OF DV CHALLENGE #9 IS....
Mitchell Stookey “Meet Me”
Nice work Mitchell! Good story, good use of the theme, interesting twist at the end and solid production values add up, and the voters agreed! Congradulations!
And that's it for DVC9! See you all on the next one!
