To be honest, no. There have been times when I didn’t think the winners were better than mine, but they’re usually not terrible. The most usual scenario is for “real” machinima artists to enter (they’re usually people who do video editing and special effects for their actual jobs) and for them to blow me out of the water. I’m the first to admit that I think my videos have something special about them, but technical skill and special effects knowledge isn’t it.
