How the judging portion of this contest was explained in the Filmmaker's Kit:
- Voting via the Linkylist--here on my blog--would determine the top three trailers. Turns out that portion of the voting was rather easy, in light of there only being four official entries.
- The final leg of the judging came from me. I had to decide the order (first place, second place, third place) of the top three trailers.
- I put a tremendous amount of thought into my "order decisions." The top three trailers were all very well done, with clear evidence of time spent and enthusiasm for their final products. THANK YOU to all three groups of filmmakers who chose to put so much effort into their work.
- My final decision had a main focus--which trailer truly captured Victor and Bull's story as well as the heart of the novel (with the limited amount of information provided by me) and most importantly, would make a potential reader want to read the book ?
