I was very impressed with the video used to introduce the 2010 Hugo Awards Ceremony — another masterpiece by Mark Slater, the fellow responsible for the superb London Calling 2014 bid video.
Images of the Hugo nominees and their works are intercut with flashes of political and scientific news from 2009 (the eligibility year), all flowing together in time to the remarkable background music.

Thanks for the kind comments. Might I also shamelessly plug the second ‘London In 2014’ promo – http://tiny.cc/london2014jerusalem.

All three of his videos (all on his YouTube channel) are truly wonderful things. Mr. Slater has done fandom a great service regardless of the bidding outcome.
