HERE is the official press release.

Winning this contest has changed my life and I want to thank everyone who voted for me and asked others to join in and vote for me too! My video was chosen as the winning video of out of more than 4,000 entries.

I used Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro CS4 to make this short and it took about 20 hours total to make.

With the earnings ($42,500) I was able to quit my day job and pursue film making full time. I am currently entering in as many contests as I can (see my other videos on this blog) and am trying to get some free lance work. I’m also hoping to save enough money so that I can go to film school some day.

Thanks to my wife for being such a crucial role in this video, I couldn’t have done it without her!
