We’ve kept the campaign active on uVizz until we can get them all uploaded to YouTube so no new votes count after midnight on 16th August. We’re double checking all our stats and will publish the top 10 videos here in the next couple of days and of course, details of the competition winners. We’re judging tomorrow. Deep breaths! Back soon.

Based on the long running BBC comedy series, Porridge, Brian takes off its lead character, Fletcher, this film was (appropriately) shot at the Court House Hotel in London. Many thanks to the management team for allowing us to film on location. Finally, Uvizz has just added a great feature for embedding its videos around the web, so here it again in Uvizz mode.

This one's about a house sale negotiation based on the personal values of the video creator(s). The cartoon approach is very inventive. Just the sort of creation we're looking for and definitely meets our video brief. Where's yours? You could win £15,000!

He said; "....for those of you who have just graduated and aren't sure exactly what the future holds yet, £15,000 could go a long way to keeping you from worrying about it for a few months. Alternatively you could pay off your student debt! Or just have an extremely wild Summer... Now there's nothing to stop some of you from teaming up to do this and share the loot - let's face it, many of you have completed 3 minute animation masterpieces in the past three months, a short viral film (make it 30 seconds long say) split between two or three people... sounds perfectly plausible as a commission to me with a typical client deadline. Would be a good thing for those of you who are thinking of setting up as freelancers". So there you have it students. Go create!

Anthony was just 25 when he died, a popular young man, and a keen and talented Sportive rider. This event will be a fitting tribute, and is being run as a not-for-profit venture, with proceeds going to relevant charities." We've sent a very big bag of oats so @porridgelady can make porridge for all the riders coming out in support of this fund raiser. If you live in Berkshire and you're a keen cyclist then join in. There's more information here.

It's also interesting to see how magazine and industry news sites cover slightly different angles on what we're doing. Press Mornflake Thu, 18 Jun 2009 00:30:49 +0100
