  • "Exploring Petra - From the Great Temple to the High Place of Sacrifice" - personal-view laing contest

    My entry for the contest. Video was shot entirely hand held, with the GX80, using the Olympus 9-18mm lens. Edited in FCP X.

  • @maskare

    Good idea.

    As if you compare camera discussions to good videos that can compete it is not good relation.

  • Just noticed this contest. Well nothing to lose...

    Here is first short teaser from our upcoming giallo film full of black comedy elements. Or as we call it: "first Finnish giallo so it's FiALLO!"

    TENÚ is coming...

  • @TinRoof

    Prize is reserved, so all is ok.

    We'll close it after NAB exhibition, as hope for few more participants.

  • Anything going on with this contest?

  • Hi all,

    here is my (late) entry for the contest. Shot on the Panasonic GH2/cbrandin hack with a C-mount 25mm 1.4 lens. Minimal level corrections only. Enjoy!

    Thanks for the contest, Vitaliy!

  • Its ok

    I just wanted too share it with the forum.

  • Well, we still lack enough participants.

  • Remember to read contest rules and comment on videos you like, it is your opinion that matter.

  • 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.

  • 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!

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

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