It was the toughest task of our lives. Many videos were good enough to win. It was a very emotional endeavor. Some videos even made me <b>cry!<\/b> <\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<p>Picking one out ten really good videos would always be a hard. This is why we decided to have a public voting system. While many put up a voting competition just to <b>collect emails<\/b>, we didn&#8217;t want that. We wanted things to be as easy as it could be. <\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<p>In the end, it was <b>15-year old Shourya Nandrajog<\/b> from Boston who came out with flying colors! We really got a vibe of how much of a <b>hero<\/b> her dad was from her sweet video. <\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<p>Although many would believe that overall video quality is the main factor we consider, the final decision was made considering multiple criteria including overall message, the amount of effort put in, emotional touch and public voting.\n<\/p>\n<p> The main stress was obviously on the <b>amount of effort<\/b> put in by the duaghter\/son in making the video really special for the dad!<\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<p>This is where Shourya <b>edged past<\/b> the others.

There was something about this video that made me <b>very emotional<\/b>. It could&#8217;ve been the photos she used &#8211; it was so very apt to the flowing poetry. I could somehow feel that this was no ordinary entry.<\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<p>Later she sent me a mail saying that tears were flowing down her cheeks while making this video. I just stared at my MacBook screen, not knowing what to say &#8211; emotions raining within..<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DZrPWG_TVrQ\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe> <\/p>\n<p>Thanks a lot Sue for showing us the <b>deep bond<\/b> you share with your dad.

But this did not stop Saiful from creating a video tribute to his dad who unfortunately passed away 4 years ago. We played this in Animaker Headquarters.
