Industry-leading research tool ShotDeck is once again putting on its Recreations Contest. This time they have prepared over 30,000.00 USD in prizes from sponsors like Sony, Aputure, Blackmagic, Zeiss and Tiffen. The contest is already open for entries. Apart from the ShotDeck Recreation Contest, we have reported on ShotDeck before. In a nutshell: on ShotDeck you can search for image references from movies, to share and communicate aesthetic visions with your team. The search works either by movie title, or by a whole slew of criteria like Genre, Color, Aspect Ratio, Time of Day, Lighting, Shot Type and more. From there you can build decks with pictures, share them with your team, export them, archive them, and much more. Currently the database features 318,049 shots from 2,018 titles. ShotDeck was created and is headlined by Lawrence Sher ASC, the Oscar-nominated cinematographer of Joker, and many other movies you might have seen (Godzilla, Hangover, Garden State, Due Date, Paul, The Big Year …).
