"Winter's Veil" was great and almost won my vote. However Ragingspeedhorn's, "The Escape" cinematic was very unique and I've personally never seen such a well made first person cinematic before. So it was something very unique and new to me, plus it was a risky task and very few ever accomplish making a good FPS cinematic, I believed that "The Escape" had deserved my vote.
God's speed Ragingspeedhorn! Hope you win!
And good work and good luck to the other cinematic entries!
