For the past month I have been running a competition is association with Hewlett Packard. I have been using their PC for the past month for my photos and learning premiere whilst I have challenged any 18 and under filmmaker to make me a film to convince me to send them a brand new top of the range identical laptop to the one I am using…<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s 17\u2033, got 8gb RAM, an i7 1.73ghz chip and an nvidia Quadro 5000m graphics card.<\/a><\/p>\n

I chose a wide range of judges to help me. Paul Antico from Boston, Eric Kessler from Illinois, Joseph Stunzi (himself young) from Georgia, Gert Kracht from The Netherlands and Rob Imbs from Buffalo. These guys along with me vary in ages from 20 through to 40. We have been a wide variety of background and experiences amongst us. Only one is not a filmmaker and that is Eric but as the owner and main man of Kessler Crane he knows his stuff!<\/strong><\/p>\n

This has been incredibly hard for all of us. We have watched all 31 videos and basically want to give a laptop to each and every one of you. There was very little to separate most of them. We actually disagreed on the top three quite drastically!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The entries were so strong! Here are a few below:<\/strong>
