Judges Comments
“A simple but well produced example of an in situ interview. The interviewer is very engaging and connects well with the biking enthusiast and the camera work is neatly done with nice clear close ups that are edited in very appropriately.”

The Judges Comments
Colin Lewis ''The First' - Judges Comments
“An unusual concept. It is an interesting idea to use existing family videos to create a fictional story.”
“A kid’s party made into a horror genre film, consistent in genre with an impactful introduction but quite a lot of SFX pasted onto what was in essence a kid’s party. Fun idea with a macabre sense of mischief.”
Jim Reed, The OddBods - 'Interview with April Powers'
“A very quirky and entertaining mock interview that explores a rich comedic vein. The idea of having a naïve minion in the diplomatic service inadvertently triggering world crises is a brilliant one.”
“A witty two-header where an incompetent civil servant is interviewed about their career”. Note: The film was a two-header, edited together from single shots. Only one of the cast was present at any shoot!
Awarded: The Ron Clements Award for Creativity
Jim Reed "The Iron Bridge"
“A cleverly edited examination of the impact and legacy of the industrial revolution that shared a great deal of thought-provoking observations.”
“An expositional documentary that opposed the current climate change argument. I felt it needed to entertain the counter argument; however, in terms of how it was putting its point across, it was nicely done with a smooth edit.”
Awarded: The Penny Johnson Trophy for Best Editing
Philip Morley "Only Lyon"
For a ‘holiday video’ this packs in a lot of information on the city and so it feels a bit like a combination of a documentary and a ‘what we did on our vacation’ piece.”
“A travel documentary made with care and attention to detail. An enjoyable, light, and humorous voiceover takes us through the weekend trip.”
Awarded:
The Arthur English Memorial Trophy for Photography
The Best Holiday Movie
The Sir Peter Holden Trophy for Best Use of Commentary
