Saturday Night Contest - Touched by an Angel

Congratulations mergardmagic, great video.

Gotta say I'm pretty proud to get an honorable mention on my first contest entry woo. Though I was afraid I either didn't get it submitted in time or it wouldn't be completely viewable when judging was happening (due to Youtubes delay time). But glad it was. Great job everyone.

Very fun, cool contest tonight! Congrats on the win. Smart, funny, cool video.

A lot of other submissions were honorable, but a few had some obvious issues that came up. As with all methods of deception, camera tricks leave very little margin for error. The slightest change in lighting before or after a camera cut can make a minor edit look like a major jump. Although the least legitimate manner of conjuring, if the goal is to deceive, even with camera tricks, one must still strive to make things natural, smooth, fluid, and unnoticeable. Attention to detail is a must. Otherwise the results may be easy to spot.
