[WJVF] Video Of The Year poll (2007)
The Void
[Goal: To promote the creation of creative juggling videos]
At the request of a certain Chimp, there now follows the return of the
"Best Juggling Video Of The Year" poll.
The Rules:
You may vote for any juggling video that was
added to the IJDb video database on or between 8th March 2006 - 7th April
2007.
Youtube videos, etc are *not* eligible, *unless* there is also a
downloadable version of the video in the IJDb database.[1]
You may vote for up to 5 videos. Each vote will receive one point.
You may vote for your own videos if you are that sad. ;-)
Please reply with your votes to the first post in this thread, not to
other people's replies.
It would be helpful if you could include the link to the entries in the
IJDb for the videos you vote for, e.g.
A New Hope
http://www.jugglingdb.com/videos/index.php?uid=67P768-16P687573Q-2
Thank you.
Voting starts now, and closes on April 8th.
There will also be substantial prizes (sent or given) to the top three
places (e.g. T-shirts, BJC2008 tickets); including a decent cash prize
going to the winner to support future video creations and investment in
video equipment.
I will announce the winners, live at the BJC on April 11th. Results will
be posted to RJ soon afterwards.
Search your hard drives, your dvd archives, the IJDb video database, and
have fun deciding which are your favourites.

Cursing ill-timed holidays
[1] If you want to vote for a Youtube video, try asking the uploader if
they'd mind putting it on www.jugglethis.net (or would mind if you did),
as you'd like to vote for it. Flattery works wonders. *BUT DO ASK FIRST* -
They may have their reasons for not wanting to offer a download version.
That said, here's how to rip a Youtube video: Go to
http://media-convert.com/ , click the URL button, paste in the website
address. Set the output format to 'IPOD mp4' (don't worry, it'll play fine
on computers too) and click convert. The website will then convert the
video to an mp4 (it might take a little time), and then you can download
it to your computer. You can then upload it to jugglethis yourself, and it
will be automatically added to the IJDb within a day or so.
The freeware program MPEG Streamclip can do the same job if you don't want
to do it all online.

There are currently 1307 videos which are eligible for votes:
http://www.jugglingdb.com/videos/index.php?wjvf=true&order=date
The above list will remain current and contain videos which were added to
the database within the dates specified above. It is shown sorted by date,
however you may sort by rating or hits.
Have fun.

Yay! Thank you Colin. That should make it a lot easier for people to skim
through what is out there,
and hopefully negate the "I couldn't remember them all, so I didn't vote"
excuse from last year. I'm
hoping more people will vote this year. I'll probably do the "Videos voted
for so far" list again too...

> Who has no idea how he is going to decide what to vote on!
Ah, well in that case, I'll repost this from last year:
Here are a few things you
*might* like to consider when making your choice:
Would I want to watch it twice in a row?
Does it co-ordinate well with the music?
Is it well edited? Do the shots flow well?
Is it well shot? : well lit, a good variation of shots/angles.
Has it been encoded well, for a good viewing experience?
Does it make you smile?
Does the 'performance' shine as much or more than the 'juggling'?
Does it ooze originality?
Please note, that I'm not trying to tell you what you should or shouldn't
consider - the choice is entirely yours, as are the reasons for your
choice. I'm just offering some suggestions for anyone who is 'stuck' with
a shortlist of more than 5. Feel free to disregard all of the above if you
wish.
Please reply with your votes to the first post in this thread, not to
other people's replies.
Have fun.

Is it only me?? I don't bother to watch videos that are not available
on YouTube or something similar unless somebody like Norbi makes a
video that most jugglers don't want to miss.

I watch every video that comes out on IJDB and Jugglethis.net
(unless there loads of really small videos with one trick on them, all
posted at the same time).

Maybe it's a bit too late but I have an idea that maybe next time it will
be something like "the juggling academy awards" which will devide the
awards to different categories so that the choice of one overall best
video won't be so hard (of course there will be a category for "the best
overall video")...
Just a thought... Ohh and thank you for making this video of the year
poll, I'll make my choices soon..... :-)

Quite possibly :)
There are a fair few people who are blocked from accessing sites like
Youtube by their work IT people (even if it's their lunchhour). I
personally dislike the drop in quality you experience when viewing videos
on Youtube, plus being bombarded with adverts.
I will only bother with Youtube if a video has received a lot of praise
and there is no downloadable version forthcoming. I have new videos listed
in the IJDb video database automatically downloaded to my computer via
Democracy. This allows me to watch them where and when I like, and they
automatically expire after a set time, but allow me to move them onto my
harddrive proper if I like them. Much easier than having to set bookmarks
for videos I like or go through the palaver of downloading and converting.
But hey, each to their own. These are the specific rules for the WJVF, and
it can have whatever rules it likes.
fak - up-catching.

I know the aim of the WJVF is to include any videos made during the year,
but is it possible that people could nominate videos onto some kind of
shortlist. 1307 videos is quite a lot to trawl through and although I
probably watched most of them I undoubtedly don't remember them all and
may have missed some.
A shortlist would narrow down the voting quite a lot and I think get more
people to vote. Just an idea?!?

For the past 6 months or so I only watch videos on youtube. Those that are
download only? I'll download them only if there are lots of good comments.
There are lots of realy great juggling acts, mostly Russians doing their
thing, that are only on YouTube, and why should I or those guys put in all
the effort to add it to the IJDb, just so I can vote for it? Come on,
explain yourself, Void!

I considered offering up a shortlist, James, but the trouble is, it would
be *my* shortlist, and I want a
wide range of opinions/votes. While 1307 videos is a lot, you can skim
through the list Colin has
made,
[
http://www.jugglingdb.com/videos/index.php?order=quality&wjvf=true&text=Video+Of+The+Year
+2007+Entrants&paginator_page=1&pagesize=10 ]
look at the thumbnails/titles/descriptions/ratings, and that may well be
enough to jog your memory
with "Ooh, yeah, that was good", without actually having to re-watch many
of them.
Or you could order the list by rating, and set yourself a shortlist of,
say, "4 stars or above", which
should cut it down a fair bit.
> A shortlist would narrow down the voting quite a lot and I think get more

Indeed it is. Could I point out that 'people' includes you! Feel free to
post your own shortlist - I shalln't
object.

I think thats a good idea (if made a bit late). Maybe you could make some
category suggestions:
Best Comedy
Best Technical Juggling
Best Edited
Best Choreographed????? etc...
It sounds like nominations to vote for may be something to consider aswell -
a short list of 100 based on how many downloads they have had or some other
semi-objective criteria.
Aaaahhh glad its started... looking forward to plenty of whippings form the

Yes, sir!
Voting is a good idea and whatever rules should work fine.
I'm just saying in general, you enthusiasts may download every bit of
videos, writing some sort of script or using tools, taking time, but
I suppose most less enthusiastic jugglers only watch YouTube since
it's much much easier.
As the number of clicks to watch it decreses, the number of audience
gets higher. So, I actually think IJDb rec.juggling reader should
translate a link to YouTube into an embeded code so we can start
the video inline, on the spot.

Spot on Ken. YouTube may be not count this year, but will surely be
essential by the time next year's WJVF rolls around. It's just unavoidable.
That said, I am also of the opinion that the quality isn't really good
enough at the moment, but I expect that will improve too. Moreover,
since Google pwns GooTube these days, it seems reasonable to expect that
it will become increasingly user friendly, since that is what Google are
good at.

Is there a way to search just the videos on that list to see if what you
want to vote for is eligible?
fakoriginal
You can always search the whole of the video database and check the date
it was added to see if it is eligible. Oh, and The Void said "Please reply
with your votes to the first post in this thread, not to other people's
replies." So you may want to repost your selection so that it is counted.

P.S. There may be a similar post from me accusing you of replying to the
wrong bit of the thread with your votes, which you didn't, so apologies.

Sorry, there isn't any way in which you can search the videos from just
the above list. However, you can use the regular search within the IJDb
vidweo database and simply check the date of teh video manually (8th March
2006 - 7th April 2007)

Right, Jay. Some years later from now, we will never be able
to believe that we actually had to DOWNLOAD a file to watch
a video, listen to music, run software etc., just like we
don't have to manually download and save a photo file before
we display it. If we had to download a photo to watch it
with some photo player, it'd be ridiculous. But, that's
exactly how we used to enjoy online photos until WWW became
popular around 1995.

YouTube's quality is not as good as I wish, either. But the
problem is there are too many videos online these days, not
just juggling videos, but some TV programms and other
interesting videos. If it's not YouTube, I don't bother to
check if it's worth watching. It might be a kick-ass video,
but who cares, there are many many more.
Also, I mostly stop watching any videos after 10 seconds if
there's a long title roll or irrelavant intro. It's just not
worthwhile to spend more than 10 seconds to judge if it's
worth watching or not.

Would I want to watch it twice in a row?
Does it co-ordinate well with the music?
Is it well edited? Do the shots flow well?
Is it well shot? : well lit, a good variation of shots/angles.
Has it been encoded well, for a good viewing experience?
Does it make you smile?
Does the 'performance' shine as much or more than the 'juggling'?
Does it ooze originality?
There are two videos that does this more than anything:
VSNBT MNPLTN SRS 1 - The Harbour
http://www.visionbot.com/media/VSNBT_MNPLTN_SRS_1_divx.avi
VSNBT MNPLTN SRS 2 - The Forest
http://www.visionbot.com/media/VSNBT_MNPLTN_SRS_2_divx.avi
Oskar is superior to any other juggling video editor, and the fact that
his videos are starring swedish master juggling innovators is just
fantastic. There are no other contenders, face it. Any other results that
does not shows these 2 on top is at fault.
Question: May I vote for the third VSNBT MNPLTN SRS if it is released
before the deadline in a new post?

am sorry. Just trying to vent in advance, I have a feeling that the most
deserving videos will not come upon top as I believe some don't understand
that this is about videos and not juggling in videos, atleast that's how I
see it. Judging from some videos that have gotten votes I am surprised
that no one has voted for every Gatto video in existence. But mainly this
is a great thing for people to catch up on some great videos, I missed the
423 one and that one is just fantastic.

Doing rather well for himself, I believe. Last time I looked, he'd
tired of stand-up/comedy/touring and was carving himself a nice little
career as a fairly serious writer of fiction.

I was in the unfortunate position of being in a location where

no alternative sound source available to me, and after the
first 5 minutes I wanted to rip my ears off and stamp on them.
The only way I can possibly see that he's got as far as he has

Just wondering who the prize would go to for a video such as the visionbot
manipulation series where the performer and the director are different
people. Would Oskar be the winner or would it be Elias/Isak, or would they
both receive the same prize, or (my favourite option) would they just be
left to fight for it?

Then he would have to do some sort of video in which he presents himself
with the prize. Or some kind of pre-recorded video link...to thank
himself. Great I smell a comedy stitch up.
Bungy 2005 will make my top 5 for sure... but will wait till nearer the
polls end before casting my vote as there could be a few late entries.
Also I've a few hundred more to see yet. More like 1000 odd.

Four lurkers who all seem to be using Anton's PC to place their votes.
Just because you use Google Groups, it does not mean that you cannot be

With respect, there is quite a likelihood that the lurkers and first
time posters in question are genuine, and are probably mates of Anton
and Angie's. But it doesn't look all that clever if it appears that they
were all lurking in an armlock in front of Anton's PC.
So far as I am aware, there is nothing in the rules against canvassing
support in this way, and as such the votes may well be entirely genuine.
There is also nothing in the rules against pointing and laffing at a
rather hamfisted and obvious attempt to get a bandwagon rolling, no
matter how well intentioned.

Peachi - Pete
Jay is correct I think......
I can vouch for the fact that all those votes are from genuine people who
happen to be friends of Anton's and Angie's - probably in the area for
Jane's 40th...erm I mean 20th... B-Day this weekend as I was. Nothing wrong
with encouraging them to support a friend in a people's choice vote - even
if it means using the same PC and getting instructions on how to register at
rec.juggling and vote in the WJVF.
Ultimately Ste3void will decide on this but it might encourage more people
to vote and take an interest in the WJVF and rec.juggling generally....
.... cant be a bad thing.
Its all just a bit of fun anyway ;)

I think that is *really sad* what Angie's friends are doing:
register themselves at rec.juggling just to vote for Angie...

all of us could do the same (if we want): for example i could
invite all of my juggler friends of www.giocoleria.org to vote for us!
But it would be really really sad, don't you think??

Here are my votes, in no particular order:
Imperfect Cirquel
Norbi-Rings 3
VSNBT MNPLTN SRS 1-the harbor
Karas Kwickie Complete
JAW4

So, those are my votes. I wanted to vote for synergy and some of my
personal videos, but I decided to have some dignity and not.

It has come to my attention that there has been some mischief going on
regarding voting in the WJVF, perpetrated by certain self-styled 'cheeky
monkeys' who should know better.
Although I have been informed that this was done innocently and purely for
fun and to raise awareness of the WJVF and rec.juggling I have decided to
introduce a retrospective caveat as follows:
Only people whom I consider to be genuine members of the online juggling
community will have their votes counted. This will exclude people who
simply register to vote for friends. I will use my discretion to decide
who
this does or does not apply to. Yes, this may be viewed as arbitrary, but
I
feel my hand has been forced. You'll all just have to trust me.
The dictator's decision is final.
Please continue to cast your votes as normal otherwise.
Thanks,
The Void

Yes, Daniele, I agree with you. Kudos to you for not sinking to the same

Good call el Presidente. I think that should work fine ;)
Time for a confession: it was my idea to play this little prank and get a
few people to vote for Angie.
I thought it might help promote the WJVF with a bit of controversy. I forgot
how viscious it can get on here though :(
Plus I also forgot that there were prizes on offer this year and my little
scheme might end up compromising that aspect...Doh!!
So anyway we've informed Voidy of all our ringers and so only genuine votes
will count now.
Just for the record Angie had nothing to do with this - it was just us boys
having a larf ;)
So I hope people will continue to vote for her if that is their personal
preference. No grudges..
So apologies to rec.juggling for any raised blood pressures and Ste3void for
nearly derailing the voting process.
I will be fulfilling an impartial supporting role from now on... and putting
my cheeky monkey antics to work elsewhere.
So keep voting and enjoy this celebration of great juggling videos on
rec.juggling ;)
Cheese, Peachimpy

You can vote for a maximum of 5 videos, so assuming these are your first
two votes [1], you can vote for 3 more videos.

No problem. So you have now voted for 3 videos, and can vote for 2 more if
you wish.

Nicki,
You don't have the exclusive rights to the name 'Nicki', as far as I'm
aware.
You're looking at rec.juggling via the IJDb, which groups posters by their
user name.
Therefore, if someone posts as 'Nicki' after someone else (you) has set up
an IJDb profile in that name, both posts will be shown with the same
profile ID in the IJDb portal.
If I have to, I can tell the difference by looking at the headers of the
posts.
