darn,missed the part about 5 years experience. Guess my kids just got their first directing gig. And then Daddy can borrow the camera if they win.

Steve, you seem to have at least 20 years professional film making experience/background and been Local 600???

 

[Zhibo Lai]

Fine print... If you have more than 5 years of professional experience you are not eligible.

Whops, I read that one wrong. I though it was at least 5 years of pro experience. So this mean anyone with 0-5 years of professional experience can enter?
Here is the exact line in the fine print
"(ii) a professional photographer or filmmaker with up to five (5) years of professional experience. "

I believe that experience disqualifies me. Which is okay. There are a lot of talented people who could use this opportunity to take that next step.

Most original Redone users are disqualified, for young one only . :zombie_smiley:

I hope RED will set up more international competitions, like the "Shot on RED festival"

Those things are fun all over!

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Yes! The 4K Festival last year was perfect. Hope they do another one!

...darn,missed the part about 5 years experience...

It's a matter of semantics. Think there should be some clarification. This contest seems to
be designed to give people a little exposure push into the higher ends of the industry where
there is somewhat more creative vision needed/desired than in other sorts of commercial work.
For stills say shooting for Vogue..for motion say shooting Fortune 500 commercials.

In that context...Does 5 years experience shooting Wedding portraits or 5 years shooting
corporate video work really disqualify someone ? Big difference between that vs. someone
who indeed has 5 years experience shooting editorial for Vogue or Nike commercials.
One person got their big break...the other person is maybe still looking/aspiring.

Similarly 5 years experience as AC or gaffer is 5 years...but...it's not experience where
you were the author of the images.

But hey, possibly I could help RED organize one for Europe...

I could help do one for Canada!

 

[Kate Strugenko]

I wish it was international

 

[Julian Banos]

Me too!! I guess it is like the Price is Right...
