This is fantastic chance to win the quite fabulous brand new Sony PXW-FS7M2K. Yes, this is the kit one with the new zoom lens! All you have too do is shoot a 60 second mini documentary on any subject that grabs your interest. Then follow the simple instructions (included in your entry pack) to upload it to YouTube before the closing date of 12 March 2017.
Click here to enter and get your entry pack.
The first prize is the the FS7 II and the runner up prize is the also amazing Sony A7SII.
I am the judge for the competition and I can tell you what I am looking for; something that engages me (and in 60 seconds you can tell a lot), something that is more than just a montage, I need a story as this is a mini documentary after all!
You will also need to do more than just make a great short, you will need to do some good marketing and get people to see your film as the number of likes is key to getting onto shortlist. Marketing after all is key to being a successful filmmaker. I understand your concern that people with lots of followers have an advantage there, that is true, but you will be surprised at how few actually enter these competitions. This is the way we did the FS5 competition in 2015 and there weren’t any YTers with lots of followers in the short list, in fact the winner has 27 subscribers!
The winners will be announced in a webinar about cinematic storytelling that I will be hosting on the 22nd March, more info on that to follow….
This competition is for (slightly extended) European residents of: Albania, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Greenland, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Kosovo, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, FYRO Macedonia, Malta, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, and United Kingdom.
I am sorry if your country is not on this list, I have no control of it. You should still make a film anyway for the experience!
