Title: "SUR LE FIL" Spot
Post by: jerome on April 13, 2010, 08:24:52 AM
here's a commercial a friend and i made for a video contest hosted by Kickers. the theme of the contest was "red & green invasion" and the video had to depict a happening of some sort.

i liked this a lot. the look and editing is perfect, as is the idea, which is always the hardest thing (for me anyway). good luck!

thank you. the competition doesn't seem too tough, but the rules of the contest did lead to believe that the jury might be expecting some seemingly candidly filmed flashmob type thing, as opposed to the semi-narrative spin we put on our video. verdict falls around mid-may i think, i'll let you guys know how it goes!

so i didn't expect them so soon, but the results are already in. we won 3rd prize, i.e. 500€. not too bad!

don't know yet who the other winners are, they only informed us by e-mail. but they must have favored the more wacky-flashmob-happytime-y videos, like this one http://fr.eyeka.com/video/view/861021-Kickers-Flashmob-Amiens-par-Thevada or this one http://fr.eyeka.com/video/view/860966-Le-Petit-Pois-dans-le-Gaspashow...

anyway, thanks!

thanks. i do believe ours is better crafted, but i suppose vandalizing unsuspecting wires with spray-painted shoes isn't exactly what they were going for ;)
