Why is it 40 megs for the sick3? Was it that much last time?

I fixed it so the links work now, the March and June sick3's were both around 40mb.

I have used better quality encoding this time aswell.

Just a few tips for next time....

Last years editing and stuff was really darn good. This years seemed rushed.

-This is sick 3, not sick 15

-Being more specific than planet earth, I am from Manchester, NH, USA
-Some of the videos are cut short, you couldn't see the last trick fully landed.
-Is it possible to keep some of the lower quality videos at thier current quality?

Don't want to come off as harsh, just some constructive critisism.

Hey Ben, your right, it is rushed

. I had to simulatiously figure out how to get my database working so I could calculate the results from July comps and get the voting pages up and I was using time I don't really have to do it. Exams are over the next few weeks but after that I will have plenty of time to do a good accurate job, this semester has just been HELL!

Also sorry about the planet earth thing, it was about 3am when I was editing the sick3 and I don't think very clearly at that time of the morning, I just forgot to change your country to the one you sent me from what it was last month. You might also notice that the "Music by:" credit for both the video is last months credit, I forgot to change that too.

DAMN IT! Lol I didn't think I had made any mistakes as bad as not changing the Sick 15 to Sick Three

I wish I had time to change it, but even if I did, most people already have the video by now.

Sorry some of the cutting is pretty slim, I wanted to make the vids as short as I possibly could because lots of people get picky when mb size starts getting too big. I wanted to have it good quality (like it is) but not be to big a file.

The low quality videos (yours in particular) look pretty much the same quality as what was sent to me. The only vids that should take a hit are the high quality dv cam ones. However the dv cam videos will still look better than the digital camera ones in the final movie.

Yes, so EVERYONE has plenty of time to prepare their videos! I want there to be so many entrys we have to break it into divisions because the videos are too darn big!!!

After looking at all the vids from the last year, I'd say you did an awesome job! I'm sure there's some technical scuffs here and there, but given the fact that you're doing this in your spare time, your efforts are much more than commendable. The music is great, transition effects are solid..Just an overall great job. Thanks for making comp vids so much fun to watch!
