Ok, I have a confession to make -- I am a complete and utter angst fan, and thus I had such a hard time judging this contest. There were 29 amazing, gut wrenching, beautifully tragic entries which focused on everything from Scully's cancer, to Mulder's abduction, to videos that encapsulated the many different heartbreaks and tragedies of the show. I really recommend that fans of the show, just hit play all on the video responses to this contest and watch the many great entries.I ended up watched all of the entries multiple times and thought so many of them were just amazing, that every time I watched I had a different list of winners. But in the end using the comments and messages I received we got the following winners:FIRST PLACE: requiemx43 entered three beautiful videos - one was the softly, gently tragic Hold Your Hand; while Perchance I Perished is a beautiful overview of all that Mulder and Scully lost as part of their years on the X Files, but in the end the video that won was the amazing "Remember When It Rained" for its intense and amazing look at the tragedy and triumph of the show.SECOND PLACE: laglis entered two great videos, one was a perfectly lyrically matched video about the everyday frustrations on the X Files, but the award goes to the wonderfully sweet melancholy of "from where you are" - and hopefully we will not get any rioting from phoenixscar just because it didn't make the top spot ;) [see contest comments]THIRD PLACE: annemena's 9 min epic "Awe I" which takes us through so many of the tragic and beautiful moments on the show.FOURTH PLACE: charvill entered two videos but the award goes to the wonderfully edited "Lay Your Head" about Scully's cancer and which very effectively uses the visual device of winding backwards through the series to show everything Mulder will miss as he stands to lose Scully. FIFTH PLACE: Chellea entered three videos including a hard rocking video about Scully losing Mulder, a beautiful, gentle video about Scully's battle with cancer but the award goes to the sweet lovely sadness but also strength and hope of "X-files -- Scully sadness."HONORABLE MENTIONS: (There were three honorable mentions)Vicy22's "x-files:-something wrong-" which focused on numerous moments when the characters understood the other's pain and were there for each otherSukieWT's "X Files: Before the Dawn" which started with the beautiful speeches about starlight and then goes on to a tragic video about Scully's loss after Mulder's abductionTmcxf entered three wonderful tragic videos, one about Scully's grief for Mulder after his death, another about the pain that both Mulder and Scully go through, but in the end the award goes to "XF Music Video: My December (Linkin Park) about Scully's feelings after Mulder's abduction, death and return.Thanks you so much to everyone who entered!!!
