Youtube: PointofNoReturn612

Fandom: The Phantom of the Opera

Song used: "Hit the Floor" by Linkin Park

Submitted: EPMVA Challenge 1, August 2005

Winner of: Best Challenge Runner Up

Notes: This was the very first video Phantom video that we recieved that was not about the relationship between Erik and Christine or Raoul and Christine.  The concept of Erik and Raoul's macho battle against each other was both humorous and edge of the seat exciting in this video that was on beat and very well done.   We both really enjyed watching this video, and I even sang along ;)

Site: Sooth Videos

Fandom: The Mummy/The Mummy Returns

Song used: "Holding Out for a Hero" by Frou Frou

Submitted: EPMVA round 2, August 2005

Winner of: Judge's Choice, Best Action

Notes:  This is one of my personal favorite videos ever to be submitted.  I love the song and the films, and the video itself was well edited, timed magnificently, and contained drama, humor, romance, and comedy. It was the best of everything. I really enjoyed it and watch it from time to time for fun.

Nightmare Drusilla: Word Up

Site: Butchered Videos

Fandom: Fight Club

Song used: "Word Up" by Korn

Submitted: EPMVA round 2, August 2005

Winner of: Best Movie Video

Notes:  Suprising, yet entirely effective song choice.  The action and editing matched the beat and lyric extremely well.  This was one of the best film videos we have recieved from a fandom that hasn't been vidded quite often.  Excellent work ND :)

 

Heather: The Phantom's Obsession

Site: Endless Creations

Fandom: The Phantom of the Opera

Song used: "Nymphetamine"" by Cradle of Filth

Submitted: EPMVA round N/A, July 2005

Winner of: Most Dramatic

Notes:  This was one of the best videos to ever be judged at EPMVA during the first few months that the site was open.! We were completely in awe of the editing, and the song fit remarkably well.  This was one of the best of the POTO vids we recieved during the eight rounds that EPMVA was a POTO-only award site, and we were very glad we got the pleasure of viewing it. Excellent work Heather, your videos have always been greatly anticipated since round 1 :)

Ana: Listen To Your Heart

Site: N/A

Fandom: LOST

Song used: "Listen To Your Heart" by THC

Submitted: N/A, August 2005

Winner of: N/A

Notes:  The greatest aspect of this video is that the shipper bias is not really strong on one side until the very end of the song.  While it starts out obviously favoring Kate/Jack, it also shows the longing Kate feels for Sawyer as well.  It isn't until the very last shot of Kate approaching Jack on the beach that we know she is going to ultimately pick Jack (much to us Sawyer-lovers' chagrin).  But other than not focusing overly into one relationship and not the other, the song and clip matches were very wel placed and it was over all a very beautiful video.

Dragonchic: Somebody Help Me

Site: Modern Mythology

Fandom: X-Men

Song used: "Somebody Help Me" by Full Blown Rose

Submitted: EPMVA round 1, June 2006/April 2006 Theme Round: Action

Winner of: Best Video RU,Best Editing, Featured Vidder, and Best Theme: First Runner-Up

Notes: It is no great secret that I am a HUGE X-Men fan, and sadly there has been *counts* 3 total X-men videos EVER submited to EPMVA and this one was just so amazing that I don't think any other could possibly top it.  It is very well edited, and I know I can watch it over and over again and enjoy it more each time.

 

 

Kristin: Closer

Site: Knight Vision

Fandom: American Psycho

Song used: "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails

Submitted: EPMVA round 20, January 2006

Winner of: Best Video, Judge's Choice, Best Editing, and Damn Sexy

Notes: As are all her videos, this one was edited so professionally that we wanted to just put Kristin's name on every award that round and leave it at that.  In truth, no other video has ever won more than 3 total awards within a round before this.   

 

 

Obsessive24: Emotion Sickness

Site: Obsessive24.net

Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Song used: "Emotion Sickness" by Silverchair

Submitted: EPMVA Theme round 3: Silverchair, October 2005

Winner of: Best Themed Video

Notes: The editing in this video was just incredible.  The way the clips matched the beats - the punches matched the beats - it was breathtaking. One spectacular video masterpiece, "Emotion Sickness" has not yet joined the other videos on thier discs in my drawer.  This still on my computer, being watched often.

 

 

Amanda: Bring Me To Life

Site: N/A

Fandom: The Little Mermaid

"Bring Me To Life" by Evanescence

Submitted: EPMVA Theme round 1: Disney, August 2005

Winner of: Best Themed Video

Notes: Despite the fact that this is one of the most over used songs in vidding, this video was captivating and really captured the story of Ariel and Eric, and Ariel's need to become a human.  I don't think I have ever enjoyed a video using this song as much as I have this one, before or after this video was submitted.
