There hasn't been a comment that has flattered me more; I am the animation team. I sacrificed a lot to get that movie done. So far it's paid off.
If this is your first year doing the video, I wouldn't worry. It's a huge program and there's more than that, too. Voice overs, sound effects, and comp all take time and experience.
As far as unfair judging at regionals; I don't see it as a big deal. All animations are pre-screened by discreet and qualifying videos are automatically sent to Nationals (this is how we won two years ago). Winning Regionals is nice, don't discount it, but Nationals is where it's at. I can't decide whether content or technical aspects are more important at Nationals. I do know that if you create a video that truly moves you, invokes some sort of emotion, you stand a good shot. This simply must be done with a video that looks professional. And it needs to have a good story line. It has to be something that you can show anybody and they'll say "Oh, cool!", which, in my opinion, all of the past Nationals winners are.
