AWARDS FILMMAKER OF THE YEAR

YOUTUBER THE INFLUENCER’S CHOICE

When it comes to video content, YouTube – as well as other long- form sharing platforms like Vimeo – delivers to enormous audiences all across the world. This category is for creative YouTubers producing engaging, well-shot and produced content for their own or a client’s channels. Vlogs are welcome, as well as either a series or one-off films for yourself or your clients. If you are serious about making YouTube content, then we want to see it and share it with fellow professionals. Let your imagination lead the way!

OPEN SHOW US YOUR CREATIVE WORLD

In this category – which is for everything from narrative drama to documentaries, long or short films – Mike Fox from Crystal Fox Films has put forward his teaser film trailer: Then Came A Rainbow , a disturbing tale of twin young girls and what happens to a boy who crossed them. Shot on location in the US, a large cast performs in this horror-style short which uses a number of different camera techniques to take you on a surprising journey.

Time to take your work to the next level? Investing in some high-quality lighting and modifiers to go with it can make the biggest difference. Fortunately, it doesn’t have to cost the earth, as Amaran offers a range of incredible LED lights at extremely affordable prices. As the sister brand of Aputure, Amaran uses much of the same

technology but often in more compact fixtures producing

effortlessly professional results. They are easy to use, can be controlled by an app and with video lighting providing constant illumination, setting them up is a breeze with a straightforward workflow. Amaran has a range of COB hard lights, light panels, light tubes and on-camera LED panels. Plus, the lights take the range of Aputure modifiers too.

SOCIAL MEDIA SHOOTING SUPERLATIVE SHORT-FORM FILMS

INSTRUCTIONAL TEACHING NEW TRICKS

Short-form media for social networks is a huge growth area. Everything from sub-one-minute vertical videos shot for Instagram Reels, Facebook, YouTube Shorts or TikTok to longer-length films for any social media platforms. It’s one place where the restraints of the format are more than made up for by creative ideas and visuals. Let’s see your best work come through.

Teaching and inspiring a viewer to do something new or improve is a key skill which takes practice and expertise to get right. It’s also a massive market, as everyone from brands to influencers show off their how-to skills. Whether you’re involved from the conception of the idea or final production for a client, or just involved in the actual filming, we want you to take us through the process.
