Done in 60 seconds ~ Round 3 (the final)

What an experience, I've never felt anything like it or been apart of anything like it before. The Empire Awards put me up in a very classy hotel for 3 nights, I'm in my hotel room right now enjoying the free hospitality - last night I met all the other people involved in the competition and we were all taken to a venue in Soho where everyone watched each other's entry as did 3 judges; Chris Hewitt (Empire Editor), Michael Bassett (Director of Solomon Kane) and Edgar Wright (no intro). They picked 5 entries to go through to the finals on Sunday and I got picked, it was great, unbelievable. Tomorrow is when the Empire Awards 2010 takes place and the winner of the 60 seconds competition will be announced.

A message from Tim Philo

I got this message yesterday
"Fantastic, Lee! Really enjoyed your work. The other 80-some minutes of Evil Dead were really just filler, right? Thanks for paying attention to the lighting.
