    Update:

    THE STORY BEYOND THE STILL
    Introducing the first user-generated HD Video Contest where photographers become filmmakers, and we all see beyond the still. To kick off the contest, Canon asked photographer, Vincent Laforet, to interpret what story lives beyond this still and to tell that story with the new Canon EOS 7D. His will be the first chapter of seven, each ending with a still photograph for the next aspiring filmmaker to interpret. Posing the question to everyone, what do you see beyond the still?

    Still 2 is up… where do you think the story is going next? Comment!


    Submissions for the next chapter are due February 11.

    Head on over to Vincent LaForet or Philip Bloom’s site to hear about the latest DSLR HD contests.

    The two new contests just released are:

    NIN: Burn Live from on stage, Melbourne 2.25.09 [HD] from Nine Inch Nails on Vimeo.

    Interesting use of the Canon 5D Mark II for video… well done…

    Note: The video quality playing is much better than the still poster frame you see initially from Vimeo.
