Official 2009 Moog Halloween Theremin Video Poll

Post by **moogmusic** » Tue Nov 03, 2009 6:50 pm

First off, let me say that we are overwhelmed by the out-pouring of imagination and skill that went into the making of these videos! I'm sure that Leon and Bob are both enjoying them as well.

These efforts span the spectrum from campy comedy to high art (often in the same video). Our applause goes out to all of you. We here at the factory have been getting quite a kick out of these, and probably not getting our work done because your work was so good.

So, now that the posting deadline has passed, it's time for the voting. There will be two prizes awarded; one for the winner of this poll and the other for the most YouTube video views by November 30, 2009 at 12:00 pm EST.

Listed below are those videos that were posted by the deadline, and that sufficiently complied with the rules. We tried to balance rule enforcement with fairness to all. In any case, all contestants who entered on time will receive a Moog T-shirt, even if you did not make the final list. All contestants will be contacted shortly through their YouTube account for shipping information etc.

Well… the moment of truth has arrived. Here is the poll. The poll is open to all, not just the video creators. Please vote for the video you think is best. Please vote only once. You are on the honor system here. Remember Bob and Leon are watching.

Contestants! Spread those videos! Don’t forget the prize for most YouTube views.

The reason we structured the contest the way we did is to encourage you to share your art as widely as possible. You all are great. Let people know. Use the social networks (Facebook, MySpace, Twitter etc.), blogs and plain ol’ email to get your videos out there. You worked hard on these, let the world see them.

Here is the list of videos in roughly the order that they were posted. The URL is included in the poll choice for identification purposes since some of the videos had the same title. Please watch them all and choose the best.

Id like to thank everyone that has voted for me. It really means a lot to me that you liked my video enough to vote for it. There are so many great videos and personally it is against my nature to be in competetion with anyone over an artistic work because appreciation is enough and the "Best" is subjective.

Thanks again for all of your support and I feel honored thusfar to have gained any votes other than my own.

Best of luck to everyone.

Respectfully

Eric

Dyster Allhelgona deserves an honorable mention. I think this is the best video I have seen in a long long time.

I agree that it is unfortunate that many people who register do not maintain contact with the forum(s), and/or may just register to vote, but at the same time, I also believe that if someone enjoyed a video that much that they want to register and vote, then they should be allowed to. Also, who's to say that some of the people attracted to the forums by the contest won't become users of and fans of Moog products! Its just spreading the good word of Bob Moog in my opinion!

+1, that has got to be one of the greatest moog vids on youtube, even without the halloween references.

Alot of people who have registered to vote on my behalf have yet to have their accounts activated.

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has voted on the videos so far. There is way more votes than I thought there would be! Continue enjoying those awesome videos!

I have to say there were some good videos, but my favorite was the etherferatu, because the maker of the video used the theramin as the main character and the music was just great. Who would have thought such ghastly sounds could sound so great!

Thanks Eric! They were a spur of the moment impromptu to try and make him look a bit more 'mad scientist'. We are starting work on the full movie version. So far got a plot outline made and scripting is starting shortly. Know anyone who is selling an HD video camera per chance? LOL!
