YoKay,

This is the first week of something that could be a major success or a massive fail.

~Rules~
-Video can not be over 1.5 minutes long
-The winner will suppy the next bit of footy for the next contest, whether it a youtube vid to recut, there own footy or something else thats not porn
-The footy does not have to be related to skiing
-I might start making up rules as I go
-No fucking Justin Bieber (Just in case your a retard)

~The Deal for this week~
Alright so 4frnt had this contest a little while ago where they give you footy and you make an add or something. Its classed under creative commons which means don't sell it and you'll be fine.

~The Footy~

Hmmm, well...I've been having talks with 1337 about reconstructing the Video contest that didn't take off like it should have, we tweaked it. It's going to start up again soon, and be winter oriented. Clearly...that's what you guys like doing. Soooooo, sit tight? But if anyone wants to participate in this they're are definitely more than welcome, more power to ya. But I just want you to know the Video contest will be resurrected.

nooooo. non-skiing content and subjects push for creativity more! it was so nice to shoot more abstract subjects.

I totally agree. But using the last attempt as an example, we need to start this contest off on the right foot. So going with everyone's favorite season, and everyone's favorite stoke, will be the right way to start it off. Then when winter ends and everyone is bored, we go into other aspects and keep it going until the next winter, and so on and so forth.

Touche!

Sounds like a plan. Regardless, it still gets everyone out shooting with a certain subject / parameter in mind so we can all push ourselves out of our comfort zones.

hmmm, i could actually see this working especially after seeing the interest this thread generated https://newschoolers.com/web/forums/readthread/thread_id/549207/page/1/ Since everyone starts out with the same footage it could really push you to get creative with it in order to stand out from other edits. This would help teach people what looks good and what doesn't and how they can attack editing different types of footage

A big reason why the video contest hasn't taken off is because of how time consuming it is go out and film and then come back and piece it all together to form an edit. However having the video contest focused on winter sounds like a good idea, that's when most people on here are out filming and are more likely to actually shoot stuff for a contest.

editing others peoples footage is a waste of time, if youre going to have a real editting contest, you need to shoot your own video, period.

Contests should be filming and editing, not just editing.
