And the award for best director goes to…
Many of you will be aware that I was lucky enough to win a fabulous HD Camcorder in the Flip UK Facebook competition recently. But that was only the first part of the competition – now I need to make a 2 minute film about my summer. My seaside trip with baby boy is scheduled in for next week (oh please be sunny!) and I’m currently planning what visual delights to include – donkeys, old people, 2p arcade machines, sandcastles, rickety rollercoasters…! You’ll be able to view and vote for my movie from 24 August and the winning film gets a £3000 prize!
Hopefully once I’ve got into the swing of using my Flip, I’ll be able to enter loads more film competitions, and I’ve already found some exciting ones online to get started on…
Harper Collins are running a fabulous competition at www.seussreadaloud.com – upload a video of you reading a Dr Seuss story, and you could win a family trip to Orlando. There are props and excerpts from stories online for you to download, but I reckon you’ll get brownie points for featuring a proper book in your film too. The videos will be judged by Harper Collins (hurrah, much fairer than going to public vote!) and you need to enter before 31 October 2010.
Sustrans – the national cycle network – are challenging you to record a 2 minute film about the National Cycle Network. There are three age ranges – under 11, 11-17 and adults with prizes of a Forest Holidays holiday for four, VIP Festival tickets and an Aardman studios day. Again, this competition will be judged. Luckily for me, my prize bike from Smooth FM arrived yesteday so I’ll be out and about exploring my local cycle network very soon! Closes 30 September 2010.
Dermalogica want you to make a video on why you can’t live without Dermalogica – this one goes to a public vote, and the top ten videos will then be judged. The winner gets a year’s supply of Dermalogica products. It’s an American competition but I’ve checked and international entries are welcome, as long as your video is in English! Enter by 31 August 2010.
You can win an iPad if you enter the Car Rentals Video Challenge. Make a video (no longer than 90 seconds) on anything to do with your car, upload to YouTube and they will choose the funniest video as their winner. Closing date 30 September 2010.
I’ve already sorted my male lead for this one – my 7 month old baby! Triton Showers want footage of you getting mucky – the most viewed and best rated film on 31 December 2010 will win £1000, and five runners-up will win a Triton shower.
Right, that should be enough to keep you busy for a while! I’ve got two nice wins to report this week – a copy of Just Dance for the Wii from Zavvi on Twitter, and an Eden Hall spa day for two on Heart FM. I can’t wait to go there, maybe I can have some sort of mud wrap and get some footage for the Triton comp…hmmmmm…
