Why Canon Contest - Who else entered?

[Illumined]

Hey guys, 

I just entered the Why Canon contest. It was a blast to create that video. Did anyone else here enter as well? How did the process go?

What was funny is that the contest announcement came out literally after I sent off my EOS C70 to B&H Photo's Used Dept 😁

Looking forward to seeing the winner's creations.  Good luck!

ah that's too bad - the c70 seems like a dream camera. How did you like it?

[rs-eos]

It was a fantastic piece of gear for sure.  Though one thing I finally learned by the end of last year was that videography/cinematography was just not for me.

by the way, do you know if or how the winning videos will be shown? Will canon put them on their instagram or something?

[rs-eos]

No idea.  Companies will typically outline certain details about how winners will be announced in the official rules outlined for the contest.  Suggest you take a look there.

I was trying to figure out how I could showcase my camera in the video but not have it available to capture.  🙃

There are a million things I want to say and show "Why I Love My Canon" Camera....  but shooting on Android didn't feel right.  I am going to get a second body this year, but I need to see what the R5 mkII and R1 are going to look like.  I had some funny ideas and hopefully someday I could share it.  Good luck with your entry.

Yeah that makes sense - I literally shot this vid on one of my eos rebel t3 bodies, using the other one as my prop 😂
the t3 isn't the best for video but it does give you a vintage look.
