Well, the thread surely would have received more attention if it was "Get DFP for free". That's my point. And even if someone doesn't yet have skill to make videos - that's no excuse. There was a lot of time given to make the vid, during that time anyone could learn to make a decent movie or even very good if the person tried hard.
Hovewer, I hope there are people working right now(as you say) on the videos to win this DFP. I will be quite dissapointed if it turns out we are wrong though.
