This is my shot. Nothing spectacular, keep your eye on the bottom right corner of the cushion. You can't see the ball, (I can't you mite be able to) but the cushion moves.

Enjoy!

The Basterd!

Like I said, nothing spectacular.
Double posts are alright if you need to bump a topic up because you have something new for it. Also if it's been more then a day, double post anything you want as long as it isn't spam. :)

Nice video by the way :P

I might have a vid up, but i have a lot of school work to do.

Maybe a "ap" round going through a computer (steel?) plate/case.

If there are a lot of entries there will be then a list of the top 6 will be made by me and a few other respected members who I have yet to choose. Then only the top 6 will be in the poll. This will all happen after the deadline. Hopefully it will all be complete around a week after the deadline (January 31)
thats not really fair, you should use random number selection to choose the judges for the top 6 entries :wink:

Song is 'I'D love to change the world' by Ten Years After. The cushion is the pale square thing that twichs rite after you hear the shot go off. It looks good in Windows Media Player, specialy if you change the play speed to slow.

Thanks for the kind words guys, all the editing took a lot of time. I sifted through 3 1/2 hours of video to come up with it. :shock: :P

I have to mount a stronger hinge on the center bolt, the present one is going to break soon, I fear. Yea, 3 1/2 hours of shooting my The Basterd was the worth while part! :P

How is that not fair? I think specifically choosing people who I think can make unbiased decisions is more likely to get good results than randomly choosing people. Plus its less of a hassle. Unless you have a really good reason why that isn't fair then it is not going to change.

Well, I'm not going to be able to enter unfortunately, I can't the piece of steel plate I need, and I suspect it may have accidentally been thrown out.

I think I know where I can get a replacement, but I'm not going to be able to get for well over a week, which puts me on the other side of the deadline.
Does that thing kinda look like a big cat to you?

well you might be bias in your picking of the unbias (in your opinion) people... random selection is the way foreward :P
