Competition opportunity – video motion graphics

The Book Video Awards is a national competition for filmmakers and motion graphics artists to produce a 100 second Trailer for new Australian book. The competition supplies the synopsis and extract from a collection of books entrants can choose from and your task is then to set them to Moving Images.

There’s $14,000 in prizes and big promotion/exposure opportunities that go with the publishing industry. Moreover, having watched through soem of the ones form the last year, the standard of execution is very high – not nearly as high as it should be. A competition is ripe pickings for IFSS students beginning to master multi-layer composition, keyframe animation and tools like After Effects.

All the competition details can be found at http://bookvideoawards.com.au and some examples can be seen on their YouTube site – http://www.youtube.com/RandomHouseAustralia You have until the 12th May which is a touch over 4 weeks – more than enough time for a clear and well executed idea.

You’d be MAD not to jump on this competition…!
