Well done to everyone who contributed.

I had a lot of fun watching the results come in.

I had some fun shooting my own as well, but I've not edited it yet and decided to let the competition vote run without my entry for now.

In the main blog post coming out, you'll see what I bought and what I got up to.

I'll let the vote run for a few days, then we can reveal the cameras which is the even more fun part

Please vote once for your favourite of the videos (and not your own!!) - no gaming the system

If I missed anyone on the list, let me know.

Really tough to decide. Should I go for abstract emotional value or pure cinematography. 

[aaa123jc]

Voted. I am really looking forward to the reveal part! ? Can't wait to see what kind of camera and lens were used to shot all these beautiful videos (except mine, probably)! 

 

[Stathman]

Congrats and good luck to all participants!!!

[PannySVHS]

voted.

[Esguelha]

Voted! Good luck to everyone, the reveal is going to be fun!

[kye]

Voted.  I must say that the ones I voted for really were well done and the one I picked for best image quality was also on my shortlist for best cinematography.

As cheesy as it sounds, well done to everyone - finishing a project and then sharing it publicly takes some effort and a bit of bravery, so well done to all who entered.

i second the motion. i'm happy i had a go at it, nothing ventured nothing gained as they say. i think i took something away from watching each of the entries. So i'm thinking its a win/win for me even i don't actually win anything. ?

[leslie]

so after the reveal whats next  ?    what are the odds of making it a monthly or bimonthly challenge.  to give the users of the forum something to aim for, or aspire too perhaps ?

cause we all do  a lot of talking, something to keep us learning the craft would be really constructive as well.?

❤️

I'd love this.

 

Agree wholeheartedly with what all previous speakers wrote.

It's been a nice experience!

Even though my short was more like an entry to "The 3-hour 1-minute Film Challenge" that @kye once set up, I'm quite satisfied with what I've learned and realized.

Speaking of which, I always wanted to enter it, kye! It just hit me in the really busy period and I couldn't get myself together to shoot it.

[mrjim]

Voted. Well done all.

[Leon Postma]

Really hope this isn’t the last challenge. Next time we might even see some RED camera’s entering the fray ?

I must say that this was fun and has renewed my enthusiasm for the 3-hour 1-minute challenge.  

One aspect of this that I really like was that there is a budget limit, so instead of not entering because of worrying you'll get judged because you don't own the nicest cameras/lenses it kind of gives everyone an excuse to not create the best video anyone has ever seen.  I like the idea of a film challenge where there is a restriction on equipment to get people over the perfectionist tendencies to not release because it's not good enough.

Edit: Maybe a "shoot with the worst camera you own" competition might work?

For under $200??  That'll be the day!  

It probably costs more than $200 in cables just to get a functioning rig!!

[Andrew Reid]

Soon I'll put the link to the vote on the front page of the blog to drum up some more people to take part and vote.

Then let's close the poll around Saturday-ish and do the big reveal of gear. Get some photos of the gear and post it. I'll do the same and reveal what I shot. I made two videos with two different cameras.

Then the winner of the public vote gets the last place person's camera If he wants to give it him. We're not going to force it out of his hands  This is supposed to be a bit of fun really.

Then I'll choose a winner of the judge's prize, who will get one of my cameras.

[Geoff CB]

Great turnout and fantastic videos! 

[Video Hummus]

Seems people are more split on image quality. 

[Andrew Reid]

Big push on the blog today, then we can close the vote, declare the winners... and unfortunately for one, the loser 

[Andrew Reid]

Blog post now up.

Good luck everyone with the last stage of voting. Poll is open till end of today UK time.

I got too busy to enter (but just managed to view all the entries in time!), so I hope there is another.

[Andrew Reid]

Feel free to edit up your piece and post it anyway mate.

Always interesting to see what people come up with.
