Award Winning Music Video shot on just the Sony NEX 5 camera

I think the critical reaction is a response to the lack of humility by the OP.
I thought the video looked fine for a no budget effort. Many shots seemed soft- I wonder whether that is the result of a "glamour" grade, and skin tones feel mushy in that distinctly DSLR way. In the grand scheme however, a fair example of what's available to the masses for $300- reminded me of how stoked I was to be near a DVX100 in 2004 just for the 24p capability. How far we've come indeed- I'd just recommend not being your own biggest hype man when presenting your work to professional peers.

Exactly this. There's already so much noise out there that we don't need the "award-winning" tag being thrown around in such a way.

But hey, it looks like it worked because this thread is ongoing which means more hits on the video...
