Great concept, slightly flawed
I can see that this was a really fiddly piece of animation to work with, with so many quality pieces coming in. I would say that there are a few key areas that do need a little work on, to make it just take that final step to where I think it deserves to be:
Some of the stills needed a little touch-up work in flash on the black. I know that this is perhaps a time-consuming part of the creation of this piece, but with the quality of quite a few images compromised by these issues, I feel that you need to take some action to improve on it.
Liquify, in the credits, you should say that this was organised or edited by yourself - authored isn't the word you're looking for here, then you can add the names of contributors to the piece afterwards.
Clearly, it did get some great support in the form of many great pictures, some good ones and a few average ones. I expect to see most of these submitted to the Art Portal, for comment on individually, but overall, there was a good job. I know that editing can be a harsh business, but if you're going to do it, you do need to be harsh and axe some of the less-well accomplished pieces. Sure, help the artists develop and give them encouragement to take part in the next one that you organise. I know I wouldn't make the grade, but that's why I don't even try to look for these works in progress.
The one question I would ask is why do you only have the green lines moving from bottom of screen to top? Why not have them from the sides as well, with some even turning corners? The way that you did that does make some of the pieces seem a little limited, as they have been drawn in green, but it was clear that the green line has been added as an afterthought. As for animated pieces in amongst the stills, it changes the complexion of the piece, so while I'm not totally opposed to them, if you're going to have animation, stick to that, or stills, as both didn't quite seem to mix well.
Good work, I look forward to seeing more for your collective works.
