Vincent LaForet recently announced an exiting video contest where he is collaborating with Canon and Vimeo. I watched the initial video the Vincent put together and it is fantastic! Plus, he’s got a LOT of the folks that have interviewed on LensFlare35 involved as judges! Judges for the contest include: Philip Bloom – Director/DP, Russell Carpenter – DP – “Titanic”, Rodney Charters – Director/DP – “24”, Nick Childs – Director/Producer /VP Grey Advertising, Shane Hurlbut – DP – “Terminator Salvation”, Stu Maschwitz – Senior Visual FX Supervisor – “The Spirit”, Rick McCallum – Producer – “Star Wars”, Blake Whitman – Director/Editor – Mr. Vimeo himself.
Here is an excerpt from Vincent:
“Introducing the first user-generated HD Video Contest where photographers become filmmakers, and we all see beyond the still. To kick off the contest, Canon asked me to interpret what story I saw beyond the still, and to tell that story with the new Canon EOS 7D. My short film will be the first chapter of seven, each ending with a still photograph for the next aspiring filmmaker to interpret. Posing the question to everyone, what do you see beyond the still?”
“Watch my short film (below) and the contest will begin January 15th. I look forward to seeing what everyone creates! More info coming soon!”
This video was Directed, Shot and Edited by Blake Whitman. Additional cameras by Brian King and Sean O’Brien.
So watch the video below and get involved in the project. If you do, let us know and we may publish what you put together right here!
