Winner of the 5k stop motion contest

61 channels entered the Gold Puffin 5000 subscriber special stop motion animation contest. To take part, your video had to mention that it was an entry, and had to include one of the following three things (1) fighting (2) stealing (3) a gift. It also had to include the number 5. I rated the entries based on story & script, cinematography & lighting, voice acting (if it had any), sound editing, animation quality, visual editing, set design, and how well it kept to the rules of the contest. There were lots of really great entries, and there were some videos that were brilliant in some areas but not so much in others. The level of talent on display was amazing, and I'm grateful to all 61 people who entered. If people want me to do a video talking about why I rated the videos the way I did then say so in the comments and I might do that.
