Question:
Hello everyone,

I'm thinking of the different ways that I can order the Contest DVD in terms of in which order the films are displayed.

Let me know what you think. If you have any other suggestions please let me know.

Best Regards,
Chris Wright

Choices:
Ordered alphabetically by title only.
Winners first, then by title alphabetically.
Ordered by title alphabetically with winners at the end.
Two menu options - all films alphabetically by title and then winners only.

I used to produce a two hour long short film show and we put a lot of thought into the order the videos were presented. I would suggest (or vote, I guess) to have you or someone create an order where the videos best flow together, regardless of awards or alphabetical order.

We always started our show off with a high energy piece and ended with the strongest piece (presumably the winner). The rest we choose so they would work well next to each other.

Also, a "scene selection" menu where you could jump directly to any short would be nice.

A good suggestion. Yes I've always planned to have a "movie selection" where you can jump to any movie at any time.
