The 24 Hour Video Race ended last night with teams piled into the Angelika for final judging. It is amazing what can be accomplished in just 24 hours. And believe me, it was a tough job to evaluate it.  I got to judge the entries, along with D FrontRow’s Peter Simek, photographer/videographer David Leeson,   You Plus media’s Jeff Hinson and Laura Neitzel, who, among other things, founded the Race 10 years ago.

The participants had 24 hours to make a piece which had to include the following:

Theme: A Day to Remember

Prop: ball

Location: Garden

Phrase: We can do that tomorrow.

Props to Undermain Theater’s Bruce DuBose, who introduced the required elements with delightfully over the top goofiness that included sunglasses, a shifting eye patch and the title for a movie I hope I never see, “Garden of the Burning Damned.”

Here are the winners.  We’ll post some of the films as they go up online.
