Any chance of the movies being put on the Wiki for those with a great big stinking firewall at work? Also for posterity. Or you could PM me any private links to another online copy, if your feeling very good.

I promise I'll go and view the one a like most at home using my slooooow dial up.

I'd just like to say my comment about the number was in shock not acusation, its my favourite by far and I must have watched it 5 times to try finding the secret URL, thats probably one of the reasons its got such high views. I'm very impressed guys, off to watch the next set of films now though Smile

To be honest, I think that we're also in a little bit of shock too about the views. We *know* that none of us are doing anything "shady" with the views - for starters we went from 1,200 to 2,200 between 11pm last night and 9am...and we're all UK based, so gawd knows what the reason is for it. (Hence also the fact that we're a little peeved at the personal attacks - we were all asleep!)

We have, admittedly, got a bunch of people involved rather than just one or two, and we have been "marketing" it out on "teh interweb"...but I don't think we've been Slashdotted just yet...although...Lads...I've got a great idea... Idea

I've decided not to watch any films until mine is complete... and it's killing me. Okay, I snuck a peek at a couple whilst at work (the marble one and the PI one), but until I get my final 100 frames done (hopefully tonight) I'm gonna have to wait for this masterful Pirates/Ninjas movie. I love that so many people have been putting puzzles into their films. Sadly it doesn't quite fit in to the complete and total crapery theme (content as well as style) I'm going for. Also, I'm very impressed by the number of films up. I was getting worried (due to complete lack of discussion here) that people weren't doing this competition. I think I might have started cooking up something sooner had people been more vocal about their projects, but I suppose that was to make sure nothing was given away. Looking forward to watching them all - don't forget to mark some of these as favorites/suggest for feature/rate them. It'd be nice to see some of these featured.

Myf: Is yours up yet?

Gah! Look at all this competition! I never thought of using puzzles to get people to re-watch my film lots and lots of times - next time Wink

As for this whole debate over whether people are artificially inflating their own figures, I'd just like to say that all my loser friends are supposed to be bumping mine and utterly failing. Not even broken 100 yet! How's a guy supposed to cheat if the people he's relying on claim to have "Better things to do than sitting in a darkened room endlessly reloading the same page."

Seriously though, this competition was an awesome idea. I had so much fun doing it and it looks like you lot have too. The 34 puzzles is a favourite of mine, and the following line made me laugh out loud:

If I didn't have Uni exams and stuff getting in the way, I really would have liked to make a video, although it would be done totally in vector/3d animation, (which would take ages to render).

I had a realy kewl idea for promoting the video, (but I will reveal it once the competition has ended just in case I manage to scrape something together in the next couple of days).

Some of the videos look pretty good and have got more than quite a few views, (about 5000+ for someone).

Hopefully they will run another one sometime soon...
