Let me advocate the entry of Massimo Tedeschi - Drops of hope 2, I found it to be just fantastic  Hat Wave Hat Wave Hat Wave and truly in line with the spirit of my lending.  I am grateful!

I agree, Dagfinn, I loved his idea "drops of hope", too.

Music is very important to me and his choice made me feel very hopeful and determined and carried me along in anticipation of the next scene...

I also like his quote from Anne Frank

I'm completely with you on that, Jan!

Best wishes,
Wolfgang.

I loved this one too Dagfinn...
wonderful use of visuals and music to explain the main theme.

however, one frame really halted me because the English was incorrect.
Milions (millions?) of water drops can brake (break?) barriers.

I found myself going back and saying "huh?" so that spoiled it for me.

Okay, the poll is closed - thanks to all participants for your votes and contributions to the discussion despite Tongal's site being so slow.

The winner is Benjamin Thomas - I already contacted him on Tongal, waiting to hear back.
Second place goes to Tim Riley ("The Smart Money"),
and shared third places go to James Connolly, Joseph Robba and Massimo Tedeschi.

All great videos IMHO.

Best wishes and take care,
Wolfgang.

As I haven't heard back from Benjamin Thomas in over a month, I contacted Tim Riley (see rule #6).

He accepted the prize, joined Kiva and made his two first loans yesterday:

and http://www.kiva.org/lend/175598

Thanks again to Ian for contributing a GC and to all voters!

Best wishes,
Wolfgang.
