On a whim a few weeks ago, I entered into a contest that sounded really cool. All that I had to do was record a video about why I would be the perfect Living in HD Insider and submit it. There were quite a few entries at the end of the submission period. A week later, I found out that I was one of the 10 finalists! First, please take 30 seconds and vote for me! Then come back and read the rest of this post.
In the video, you were supposed to answer the following questions in any format you desired:
- As a content creator, why do you believe you should win this customized suite?
- How would this suite help you create better, unique and/or different content?
- What could you now do that previously you would not have been able to?
- How would this benefit your community?
The suite in question consists of : the latest Panasonic HD products, including a VIERA 50″ Plasma TV, Blu-ray Home Theater System, Lumix Wi-Fi Digital Cameras, HD Camcorders, Toughbook Laptop and much more. The winner also gets a Lumix G1 SLR camera to give away to their own community.
Here was my video entry which I threw together in the last minute. It took about 1.5 hours to do the whole thing. I even tried to subliminally suggest that I didn’t record in HD (note old film scratches):
The more I thought about it, the cooler the idea of becoming a Living in HD Insider became!
The voting is open now (if the date is between October 20 and October 23) and time is running out!. The problem is, I NEED YOUR HELP! Some of the other contestants are pulling way ahead of me. So please vote for me!
