LOOKS SO GOOD
When it looks too good to be true. Judged on how the lighting, camera angles, and other visual elements are used to create an aesthetically pleasing video and how this connects to your concept as part of the whole video.
SICK CUTS
We want to highlight the way the editing makes you concept work and gives emotion to your work. It could be so well cut we barely notice any editing or it might be your frantic style that gets us banging our heads.
SO DIY
