AT&T HTC One X Video Project – $15,000 – Over 18 yo – Due October 4, 2012

Posted on 6:37 am in October 2012, Over $10000, Over 18 by Lynnie

Smart phone video technology is truly amazing, and the HTC One X just raised the bar. Taking cinematic capabilities to the next level, the HTC One X inspires you to capture your most amazing “Don’t Miss” moments that are so awe-inspiring, magnificent, funny, surprising or original they are truly something not to be missed, and come out looking like they were shot by a professional Hollywood director using millions of dollars in camera equipment, lighting packages… and, of course, craft services. AT&T is giving you your shot to bring your most unique events and provocative memories to life by producing video that looks so cool and so artistic that people won’t believe it was shot on a camera phone.

The mission of the #DONTMISS campaign for the HTC One X phone is to highlight the amazing video/photo capabilities of the device’s camera: Rapid-fire photo taking. Hi-res video. Low-light functionality. And the ability to pull gorgeous stills straight from video playback.

Judging Criteria

The goal of this project is to use the HTC One X to create a unique and provocative 30-120 second video that portrays an event that can be classified as a “Don’t Miss” moment.

This is your chance to capture something so unexpected it will make you say “OMG did you see that? Was that just Oprah on the zip line?!”

AT&T wants something rare and spontaneous that will encourage sharing and discussing, and content that will ideally allow for eye-popping stills to be pulled from the video–Target Audience: Youth, 18-24

–Exposure: Across all digital channels.

–Tone: Content wise and stylistically, the pieces can be either fictional or documentary in nature.
**As noted above, the entire video MUST be shot on the phone. Use of any other footage will disqualify the participant. At any point, we may request a raw file transfer and failure to do so will also disqualify the participant.**
