AWARDS FILMMAKER OF THE YEAR

YOUTUBER THE INFLUENCERS’ CHOICE

Being a YouTuber is one of the most aspirational jobs, according to latest research of Generation Z. It’s a massive and growing market, with YouTube dominating the scene in delivering video content. Although, work on Vimeo or any other long-form sharing platform counts too. This category is for creatives producing engaging, well-shot and produced content for their own or a client’s channels. The number of views or subscribers is irrelevant. We want to see great work that is right for the market and looks professionally produced rather than scrappy footage. It could be a vlog, series or one-off film for yourself or clients. If you’re serious about making YouTube content, we want to see and share it with fellow professionals.

Online video is no longer the sole domain of Instagrammers, but is now serious business for professional filmmakers creating compelling content for clients taking the next step into video. Audiences won’t stick with shoddily produced films any more. When it’s time to take the next step in your work, the biggest difference is investing in great lighting with modifiers to match. It doesn’t have to cost the earth, as Amaran offers a range of incredibly good-value LED lights that are stunning performers. The sister brand of Aputure, Amaran uses much of the same technology but often in smaller fixtures that produce professional results. They are easy to use and can be controlled by an app. As video lighting is constant, the what-you-see-is-what-you-get workflow takes the guesswork out of setting up. Amaran has a range of COB hard lights, light panels, light tubes and on-camera LED panels. The lights also take the range of Aputure modifiers.

EVENT EDITED HIGHLIGHTS OF LIVE HAPPENINGS

This category is for those polished highlight edits from any event that truly captures the key moments of the day. It could be a new product launch, fair, competition or even a road trip. There might be talking head interviews, graphics, a presenter or team of presenters for incredible behind-the-scenes insight. If you shoot events and make compelling films for watching afterwards, this is for you. Show us your edit from an event and impress the world with your spectacular ingenuity.
