Go vote in the EB Superhero Video Contest

In stark contrast to my recent rant about problems with online video contests, I am very pleased with the voting system over at Eurobricks. The rules make it very clear that votes should be based on the quality of the animations (which means the judges actually need to watch all of them):

2. You may not vote for yourself…
7. An entry should win based on it’s own merits. This isn’t a popularity contest.

So if you were a EB member before November 3, 2012, go watch the films and vote!

Some noteworthy moments from my viewing: the parallax effect when Superman flies in Super Heroes Daily Life, the frantic energy and general zaniness of Thor’s Day Off, and the grappling hook animation in Life on Gotham Street.
