To celebrate the launch of Canon’s new Legria High Definition range, Canon & Connector have teamed up to run a competition for Irish digital filmmakers. The competition judges will include Hollywood actor Liam Cunningham, star of ‘Hunger’ and ‘The Wind that Shakes The Barley’.
Contest
We’re looking for three minute long short movies based on freecording. Freecording, put simply, is capturing your world in your own unique fashion and from your own perspective.
Prizes
Prizes include a Canon XH A1 and runners up will receive €500 & €250 respectively. Plus, the short-listed top 10 entries will be showcased at a very special Connector event in June attended by Liam Cunningham.
Entry Details
Entrants can submit their admission by uploading their video to YouTube.com and register on Connector.ie. Closing date is 1st June 2009.

…. a concept that suits the creative being in all of us whether you’re looking to create your own little piece of art, make a statement or just film your friends mucking about.
When a video has been pre-planned, everything can seem a little bit stilted and staged. No one acts naturally and if you’re the one doing the filming, you’ve probably spent so long trying to capture the right shots, you’ve missed out on all the fun yourself. Not with freecording. Spontaneity is at the heart of this style of video making. You could be out and about doing anything and the moment takes you. You live it, you shoot it.
