First and foremost, thank you to everyone who participated, it was a blast having a chance to check out all the videos. We had a ton of great submissions ranging from the impressive to the downright hilarious. I hope there was as much excitement for in it for you as it was for us to be a part of this collaboration with Warner Brothers. That said, here are the winners!

Congrats to all the winners! All were very fun to watch, especially Ryuji Chua! What a really cool and amazing video!

But i also was reading the "official rules" and was wondering how second and third place (although very good videos!) qualified as they broke some of the rules such as time constraints?

Agreed, they were awesome. Technically you are correct - they were not qualified for the grand prize as they were over 60 seconds. As an honorable mention, I admire their efforts and congratulate Ryuji on the win!
