Fernando Ballesteros · October 19th, 2010, 07:37 AM

Congratulations Mat!!
Really a well deserved award
You have demonstrate that good ideas, talent, patient and hard work is enough for success

Catherine Russell · October 19th, 2010, 08:16 AM

Oh, right Kevin!

Leave the explaining up to me? My lips are sealed....

Mat, I'm handing this thread back to you. All you need to know is the sexy yeti is a bit racy (and ladies beware of a yeti who offers to change a flat tire for you), but my yeti doll is cuter! ;-)

<<The UK must not be ready for the Sexy Yeti!! :)>>

you have no idea...!

Kevin Railsback · October 19th, 2010, 09:41 AM

That's how we Yeti roll here in the States! ;)

Mat, are you going to enter Hudson's in the Jackson Hole Film Festival? ( Trying to get back on track! ) :)

Dale Guthormsen · October 19th, 2010, 05:45 PM

Matt,

"Just fantastic", is all I can say. And the judges saw it correctly for a change, eh??

I am sure this is one huge stepping stone into your future!!!!

It is totally an inspiration!!!!

Markus Nord · October 20th, 2010, 12:08 AM

Congratulations Mat!!
Well do fella... I hope you get to do some nice job now.

Mat Thompson · October 20th, 2010, 03:31 AM

Thanks again everyone !

Kevin - You know what, I'm certainly toying with the idea. I'd like to do a re-cut and improve the piece in a couple of areas. I spoke to lots of folks who said Jackson Hole is a great experience!

Dale - I'd love to think this is inspiring everyone to reach out there. If any of you guys have any aspirations to approach such a festival, then please let me know and I'll give you all the pointers I possibly can.

Markus - Thanks fella. I'm now working on a very cool BBC Natural World project called Wild London (Specialist Camera). Hopefully there will be more in the pipeline.

Mat,

Congratulations, no mean feat by any stretch of the imagination.

Well done.

maybe we could beg Mat to do a write-up of his pointers and sticky it to our forum...that would be quite handy for all of the players who want to move their projects from our contest into the wide world....

Mat, it would be awesome if you found a spot for Hudson's Monarch at Jackson Hole because then you would have to show up in Jackson, where we could lift a glass together. Do it, do it, do it!

I'm going to the Jackson Hole Symposium (being held in Denver this year) next week....

Mat Thompson · October 23rd, 2010, 01:25 PM

I would be very happy to share what I've learned over the past 6 months. Its been a real learning curve thats for sure!

I'd love to come to Jackson Hole... its wouldn't be up to me though :-) !!

Ryan Farnes · October 31st, 2010, 08:30 PM

Congrats Mat! (if I didn't already)

A sticky from you would be cool. I went to Jackson last year and had a great time. It would be excellent to hear Mat's thoughts on submitting as a newcomer.
