Well deserved top 3, well done to all of you

Wonderful result. Kyle and Eva's vid is fantastic- fun, skill and location!! Super choice!!!

Awesome.

Two of my top picks in there.

Well done people!

sweet, happy with that kyle totally deserved 1st place. i didn't really expect us to place so 2nd is great

Thanks very much friends! And Congrats to everyone who made a video, there was some really enjoyable stuff on the dvd.

Eva and I had a great day dancing around and jumping up and down when we heard the news. We haven't had time to go shopping yet, but looking forwards to it.

WOOT!

Good shtuff.

might have to enter in for CoL 10 ;D i know i proberbly wont place in the top 10 or maby even 20 but theres no harm in trying eh ;P

when's CoL 10 starting/finishing?

Link me up scotty!

well deserved !!!!

I'm surprised that Japanese entry didn't win something. The partner poi entry was kinda sweet but also kinda dull as a vid compared to the temple entrance etc...

Which Japanese entry?

Willow: Details
That is for 2009, but I doubt much will change.

Id like to be next in line to congratulate.
Well deserved! Havent seen that roomfilling Kylesmile for too long. Whenever you make it to LA - stop by and say hello. Or just come to firedrums!
All the best from the west

Yay Kyle!

good choices, space monkey was cool too, and a lot of the other ones!!

Woop!

Finally got to see this - and it's awesome.

Loads of great videos on there... and the winners were well-placed (although... I would have had difficulty deciding between a few!)

Ok... so just some of my favourites:

* 'SpaceMonkey': Mad. Surrealist-ish. Made me laugh

* 'Will Kim Jong-un': Great doubles routine... well rehearsed.

* 'Hairy One Pack': Utterly simple, no prententions about it at all - what I remember COL being about, just a random dude having a spin. Much smiling.

* 'Encyclopodia - Alien Jon': Fab, great work... even if some of it went over my head

* 'MCP': Legendary, as always... Meg really should win one year... she rocks hard. My favourite bits: Guy on a bike, grid, wiggle and kissy kissy

* 'Rob and Sandy': Brilliant - fantastic spinning (duh, of course!), amazing editing and filming - the hand of Sy is upon it

* 'Dai': Sweet Lovely to see him again... Found myself humming Monkey Magic

* 'Phantasmagoria': Ohhh... brave. A full juggling vid on COL. But simple, good skills - utterly worth it's place. Nice one

* 'Everyone is Happy': Awesome stuff from Kyle, with his utterly great multi-staff-stuff. Really enjoyed it - made me happy

* 'Looop': Excellent video and multi-person skills. I liked this better than Kim Jong... but just my opinion

* 'Kodoh': Really liked the calmness in this, and location.

* 'Hilltop Spin': Lovely location, nice, simple spin - back to the roots


Thanks so much to everyone who put in the effort to make a video - bring on next year!!!
