Wowza.  If you want to see some really, really good video contest entries, check out the videos that won the Etsy “Handmade Moment” contest.  Submitted videos had to be under 30 seconds, promote Etsy (a neat site where people sell their crafts and homemade goods) and be based on the theme “A handmade moment.”

As you’d expect, all the winning entries were animated or stop motion videos featuring craft supplies doing crazy things.  Also not surprisingly, the winners heavily featured adorable monsters and robots because monsters and robots are notoriously huge fans of crafting.  Here’s a screen cap of the first place video (prize: $3,250) that features both a monster AND a robot.  Click it to visit the contest site and see all the winning entries.
