And the winner of UWOL #7 is... at DVinfo.net

Jonathan Copp · March 4th, 2008, 03:45 PM

I’m honored to be a part of the UWOL challenge this time ‘round. As the Director of the Boulder Adventure Film Festival, I see hundreds upon hundreds of world class adventure films. And I'm pleased to say I was impressed with the production quality and creativity of these adventure entries.

MY SELECTIONS
1st place: Eagle has Landed (beautiful boom work, scenery and a simple but elegant adventure biography. all the pieces worked together and it had a beginning, middle and end).

2cnd: Impact (love the voice behind the scene, adventurous aspect with flying, nice stable air shooting and an interesting natural story)

3rd: Tempus Fugit (absolutely cool. top notch time lapses. a little shy on adventure, but beautiful)

Whoo Hooo!

Congrats to Per on being the first to take home top honors twice!!!

Marj, just think of what glory could have been bestowed upon you last year if you hadn't of lurked all these months! :-) Awesome job!

Rob, I hope you slow down for at least a minute now to enjoy the accolades! :)

Congrats to all three of you!!!

I love that moment of suspense, hovering over that "and the winner is" thread before clicking and taking a deep breath. I really enjoyed this round, and from the results it looks like everyone else did too ;-) Congrats Per and Marj, great entries there - and thanks Jonathan for making sense of it all!
Here's to April, when I get the chance to meet some of those Vikings in the flesh ( perhaps could do an entry on the filming habits of an average viking UWOL'er?? :-)

Cheers!

Rob

Congrats to all of you three. Well deserved. :)

Eric Gulbransen · March 4th, 2008, 04:46 PM

What a great deal. Per, you guys deserve all the credit you get for this work.

Marj, superhuman. I hope you're proud.

Rob, congrats.

I have to say though, Steve, and your alligators - you guys got hosed. Shake it off and come back stronger.. (nah, you know what? Strike that. Just come back. DON'T come back stronger)

Congrats to EVERYONE. And thanks for the welcome

Bob Thieda · March 4th, 2008, 04:50 PM

Three excellent choices....congrats to all....

Frankly I don't know how Johnathon could make a choice...there were a good half dozen that could have won...
