    Guys, where is your entries?

    The more cameras around - the less contest participants.

    I even remember one so called professional two year ago declared that videos must not have a story or any other restrictions are also prohobitive. And here we are - no restrictions.

    Thank you Vitaliy for this contest!

    I would like to submit "A call for a monster".

    It's a little video which will be used for promotion for an upcoming album I'm currently producing.

    I'm more experienced in audio and music production, but I enjoy doing video a lot.

    Gear: The cam is a Panasonic G6 - Metabones Speedbooster - Sigma 18-35 f1.8 Three man video team - i was the camera operator.

    The audio (songs) isn't finished yet, because of another project (short film/music video for the same artist but with a lot more people involved which will be released next friday)- so this is with songs in progress. But otherwise I wouldn't be able to participate. And I could make use of this totally awesome price!

    I'd be glad to get some feedback from you guys. BR Arno

    personal-view laing contest

    Two magnificent catalpa trees are the first thing that I see when I walk out the front door of my home. They stand like sentinels that frame my views as I sit on my porch--often with my camera.

    I shot images of the trees throughout the year, and edited them to a soundtrack that includes sounds from the natural world, including the internal sound of a tree, solo guitar and piano. The Catalpa's historical significance is presented through the use of archival materials.

    Here is one of mine from almost exactly 3 months ago. I have another video currently in the works for this band that is more elaborate, but it just isn't quite finished yet. Shot on a few of my favorite things: Samsung NX1, DJI Ronin-M, Kowa 16-H. Prime lens was a Konica Hexanon 40mm f1.4 pancake.

    Hi folks, I must have overlooked this contest, but here we go, that is my submission:

  • jazzwalkerjazzwalker

    Here is my submission. A story of two best friends discussing what their futures may hold for them after college.

  • cas1cas1

    Wonderful inspiring work everybody!

    The one that impressed the most was Call me a Monster. That is such a roller-coaster. It's well lit I think with b&w in mind.

    The other ones that appealed to me were: catalpa trees, and Girlfriends.

    Good stuff keep 'm coming!

    Hello all.

    This is my entry. It was shot in Alexa XT plus and zeiss distagon t2.1 set from the 90s. All set was.used. All tungsten even on outdoor. I think is like analog.light ( So i call it) is.bettter than HMI or Kinoflow or led i feel those light are digital and inacurate, its my poin of view and short experience.that come to that conclusion. Shot on 24,60,120p on pro res 422 10bit and 444xq

    I hope.you like it. Im.making a short film.with.this.material

    The color was made on colorista 2 filmconvert cosmo and old mojo from red giant.
