AWARDS FILMMAKER OF THE YEAR

Live video is everywhere nowadays – from houses of worship and sports events to music gigs and product launches. It’s exciting and immediate, as well as a booming market. We’d love to see either a link to the whole broadcast or a short highlights edit – just so long as it’s a straight edit of what was broadcast, rather than with any extra production added in post. We want to see through the viewers’ eyes and gain insight into what they experienced. SOCIAL MEDIA SHOOTING SUPERLATIVE SHORT-FORM FILMS From marketing campaigns to stunning content for growing an audience, short-form media for social networks is a huge growth area. Everything from sub-one- minute vertical videos created for Instagram Reels, Facebook, YouTube Shorts or TikTok to longer-length films for any social media platforms, this is one place without restraints! LIVESTREAMED EVENT FOR THE BEST IMMEDIATE CONTENT

For quality lighting that is surprisingly affordable, Godox has a selection of LEDs to suit all needs and projects. There are powerful COBs, fresnel lights, LED panels in large and small sizes and much more. This includes a variety of lighting modifiers such as large parabolic softboxes and beauty dishes as well as gels, diffusion, scrims, stands and everything else for a professional set-up. The brand also offers hybrid lights: either powerful COBs or a large LED panel that flashes, suitable for stills and movies. With the most popular among filmmakers being the wide range of COB lights, these come with a standard Bowens mount to take a wide variety of modifiers and add a creative edge to your films.

LIGHTING MASTERS OF HIGHLIGHTS AND SHADE

Great lighting – whether ambient, artificial or a mix of both – can enhance atmosphere to any film and make a noticeable difference. It could be a myriad of lighting rented for a one-off project, or careful use of light that hangs together for a whole film. We want to see your unique control of mood that makes your work stand apart from the rest of the crowd.

CINEMATOGRAPHY THE VISION TO MAKE MAGIC HAPPEN

This award recognises that cutting-edge cinematography can be used even in small-budget productions that use innovative techniques rather than large teams with a blank cheque. Of course, a superb story and impressive audio are key parts of any project. But in this category, we are interested in the capture and look of the footage along with great sound and compelling storytelling. Get your best film in the mix now!
