While Cannes might be one of the most important dates in our calendar, 2012 also sees one of the most anticipated world sporting events, the London 2012 Olympic Games. Chevrolet would like films that could be aired during the telecast of the London 2012 Olympic Games which are inspired by the line, ‘What unites us runs deep’.

Requirements

We accept avi, mpg, mov, wmv, mp4 and m4v extensions. Neither height nor width can be odd numerically (eg dimensions of 1023 x 768 should not be used because 1023 is an odd number). Do not export any black borders and we prefer 16:9 aspect ratio but will accept other ratios. The video frame rate (fps) is not important but bear in mind the intended use – if the brand intends to display on TV then they will prefer 30fps.
So create a short, 27 second long film that demonstrates how Chevrolet drivers around the world have more in common than they think and you could see your work on air.
