Attack of the Theocrats!
Another one!
Perfect faith - Would be perfect for a commercial. I like everything except for the "#driveyourself" Get rid of it and the video holds together without the commentary using a poor choice in type. This choice brought the quality of the video down. Without the wording, non-English speaking individuals still get it and it opens the video up for discussion and debate.
Frankly, this video speaks better to the average person-- much more so than "Conflict" which can be considered esoteric in some of its wording. Perfect faith is "saleable."
I don't know if the contest will use the videos for a particular purpose. If it is being used for a commercial or will be shown at local movie theaters as a clip before the feature film, this would be ideal without the bad lettering and limiting commentary.
So my winner now is......... "Conflict" "Perfect faith" vs. "conflict" it's comparing apples to oranges. "Conflict (although it is not child friendly) is professionally done and worth the $10,000 prize money. Well done! "Perfect faith" revealed itself as a second rate video by making a novice choice. Set the bar high by awarding the most professionally done and more people with creative skills will take notice. Maybe next year this contest should be forwarded to film/art schools and the quality will get even better especially if they know about the $10K winnings.
