An attendee wrote an extensive review of the vid show which is archived here. REVELCon 26 Vid Contest - Friday, March 20, 2015, Archived version
Of note: "The vid show began with a tribute vid for Leonard Nimoy. Jamie R. and Jan M. put together a wonderful, chronological series of photographs and set them to the tune of "We'll Meet Again." The song was followed immediately by an excerpt from Mr. Nimoy's interview with a Yiddish oral history project in which he talked about the origin of the Vulcan hand gesture as a Jewish blessing. I thought that it was a terrific idea, not only because it's such an iconic contribution that he made to the Star Trek legacy, but because it made everyone chuckle after a vid that, I suspect, had many of us on the verge of tears. Nicely done, Jamie and Jan!"
