We now move on to pick our favorites from the “Online Film & Video” Webby finalists. This one was tough – I wanted to mark ties for several of them! I have to admit that I was totally underwhelmed by the student category … what happened there? On the other hand, other categories had such a broad sampling of content that I wasn’t sure how to compare one finalist to the other, such as the editing category with MediaStorm’s slow-paced “Driftless” with the quick cuts and editing of “The Bannen Way.” Both are excellent examples of high-quality editing, but hardly comparable!
Today I continue perusing through the mounds of inspiration known as the Webby finalists by noting some exceptional work within the “Interactive Advertising” category. I hope you also get the time to slowly go through all of these sites – they are truly the best of the best!
Whew, my head hurts after spending the last two hours going through a large majority of the 2010 Webby Website nominees. Talk about inspiration (and an overwhelming sense of panic that I need to brush off my programming skills to keep up with this high-caliber work)! I decided to highlight some of the nominees that made a large impression on me. Throughout the rest of the week I will tackle the “Interactive Advertising,” “Online Film & Video,” and “Mobile” categories. Congrats to all of the nominees and best of luck to you – frankly you all deserve to win.
Even though I have final papers, exams and projects to be concerned with, I spent the better part of my evening meticulously scouring through the Webby nominations and casting my vote. Now, you should do the same! People’s Voice allows users to have their say on the matter, and become inspired at the same time while browsing through the entries. I will just give you a few hints on who I voted for, but also point out some excellent entries that should not be missed.
