I believe I was still trying to figure out how to use a Kodak disc camera. Thinking back to when I was 18, well, no, I certainly wasn’t capable of anything that creative.

It is smoother and easier to watch. The view of the Memorial site is just spectacular. The video flowed much smoother from one frame to the other. Considering the vote tally, it appears that this video should have won. Note of interest - one of the young men working on this video received a heart transplant in December, 2006 and he was very proud to work on it and to receive Honorable Mention. Keep up the good work, guys. The skateboard video is the best. It is smoother and easier to watch. The view of the Memorial site is just spectacular.

These three 18 year-old artist created this video as a project for their inter-active media class for credit.

It was a way to show off funky lighting of the Underground. It was praised for providing people a ground level view of downtown. Remember both of these videos were by students - and adults, please, be nice to our young, aspiring creative class. Yes, Ryan, you are missing the point.

How would watching some dude land surfing around the useless underground be a promotion for downtown OKC? Am I missing the point? How could the skateboard possibly be a runner up?

I wouldn't give either an "A," though, though I enjoyed watching them.
