The Second $1000 Hunted
YouTube Video Contest
Winners!

The results of the Second $1000 Hunted Youtube Contest are in!  Much like our last contest, this was an extremely close competition and I want to thank all of the entrants for their hard work. I also want to thank all our judges for taking the time to carefully consider all of the entries.

Once again, our judges included: Fight Coordinator Richard Ryan (Dark Knight), Comic Book Legend Len Wein (Creator of Wolverine and Swamp Thing), Writer & Executive Producer  Gillian Horvath (Highlander), KSR Action Aces Agent Michelle Braverman, Swordmaster Anthony DeLongis (Fearless), and Writer / Critic Abbie Bernstein. Also in attendance at the LA screening were Associate Producer Kerry Glover (Leverage) and past Hunted winner Jason Wong ("Ultimate Weapon").

Remember that episodes were judged based on ALL criteria including acting, action, story, production value, comedy, and Youtube hits and ratings, and while there were episodes that had the best scores in a select category, it was the episodes that averaged best in all categories that made for the best overall Hunted episode!

Congrats guys!

JUDGING STATS:
A panel of eight judges rated each episode on acting, action, story, production value and comedy.  Judges were instructed on the scale, which ranged from 1 to 10, with “1 being poor, and 10 being awesome”.  The scoring sheets from each judge were then tabulated and each episode was given a summary score on each criteria by averaging across all judges, and an overall score, which consisted of a master average across all criteria. Youtube totals were calculated based on total number of hits multiplied by a ratings percentage and distributed among a scale of 1-10 based on the top number of hits for an episode.
