Just finished watching and voting. Great stuff everyone! I really wanted to say that the song Waylon used was awesome!
I’m on mobile that’s the only way to view unfortunately. I couldn’t view some so I had to vote one the ones I could watch but great job in both divisions. It was hard to judge.
Next year I might try to “enforce” that the videos contain either non-copyrighted material (it’s usually the music copyrights that prevent mobile viewing) or that contestants provide two links: one with their optimal music choice, but since music doesn’t actually matter, a second one with some generic or copyright-free backing track. (or if they’re crushed for time, just no soundtrack at all).
Also, Vimeo seems problematic on iOS… might have to ask for YouTube submissions: those who don’t want a YouTube account will be provided with a method for getting the video to me and I will plunk it “unlisted” in my account for those that need it.
By making them YouTube-only, I can also make playlists next year. I experimentally did one for Division One this year, but for obvious reasons the Vimeo ones weren’t in it, so I didn’t throw the link up. (people not paying attention might not read the fine print that there are 2 more videos on Vimeo).
Or, find a whole other video provider for people… or code my own… we’ll see. ![]()
