Not fair, Dave. And I understand your frustration. But so many of the contests/festivals for machinima are not comprehensive. We put enormous time and effort in at the Expo, but even so we missed a lot of good films. You really have to have a committee that works on the judging full time (or at least a lot more time than most of us have) to get it right. That your technical achievements were not acknowledged is more a lack of judgment/knowledge on their part than it is on anything else. I know it's important to have your work recognized for what it is, but sometimes it doesn't happen and it's not your fault. Just got to bite the bullet and move on. And even thought your Dad has got good advice, sometimes it's OK to yell. Yeah, I noticed that DK wasn’t on their list at OMFF. Not fair, Dave. And I understand your frustration.
