Nikon Online Film Festival

Posted on Nov 19 in Trishaby TrishPrint

Attention all photographers and future filmmakers!

Nikon has a challenge for you.

As a progressive social media innovator and D-SLR market leader, Nikon is challenging budding filmmakers to upload 140 second short-form video with the theme “A Day through Your Lens” to www.NikonFestival.com and follow @nikonfestival on Twitter for a chance to win up to $100,000 and Nikon equipment to pursue and chronicle their dreams.

Change Your Life in 140 Seconds or Less Festival entrants will have the opportunity to win one of two awards: an audience award and a judges’ award. The winning video selected by the Festival judges will be awarded $100,000 and Nikon equipment to pursue and chronicle their dreams. Additionally, the video getting the highest average rating and most audience views will be awarded the $25,000 Audience Award and Nikon equipment. Entrants of the Festival, found at www.NikonFestival.com, are encouraged to use social media platforms, including Twitter and Facebook, to share submissions and gain views and votes. Terms and conditions can be found at www.NikonFestival.com.

I had to laugh about the 140 seconds, sound like the 140 character twitter limit anyone?

So basically, you have until December 15th to submit a video that is 140 seconds or less about your life.  They do say that this is not the 142 second video contest, so make sure your video is not longer than 140 seconds.  They are also looking for quality, so make sure there is no fuzzy video.  The last requirement is originality.  Come up with some new perspective and have fun with it!

I think I have a pretty good idea for my own video.  Now to see if I have a video camera that will work well enough, and to see if I can actually pull it off!    I’ll be sure to post it here if it gets made, and I encourage you to enter too!
