Did I suggest that? I said you should make a video that demonstrates your talents. You should make an awesome video! But know that the goal of most companies running contests: They're not in it for the art; they're in it to spread the word, which is why they often award popularity. But many voting contests start with a round of judged finalists, so you must produce a high-quality entry.

Definitely. Contests come in all shapes and sizes, and some are specifically targeted towards amateurs or even non-filmmakers. I've entered simple contests where all they want is your face on camera offering an opinion. Read through lots of contests, and find the one that suits your equipment and talents best.

Film festivals often require an entry fee, but video contests (the kind run by brands/marketers/PR teams) won't cost you anything to submit. They run video contests because it's an effective way to get their name out.

I must say winning video contests is an awesome feeling. I just won a contest hosted by a bank and won a thousand dollars! I got a giant check and everything! That was something to cross off of my bucket list.

Winning a video contest by spamming your friends for votes is the most lame thing I've been forced to do. Won't even consider those. I want to win on the merits of the video not on how many people I can annoy.

Could you win a contest with say, a flip video camera and windows live movie maker? The reason I am trying to do a contest is to WAY better equipment so I can actually have a good short film I can enter.

Well I only do videos o my iPod touch 4G so I really don't have any special effects and I've never won a video contest because of that but I can't afford another camera. Can you help me?

Contests like that, with lots of hurdles, are annoying. That's why it's so important to read the rules before entering, so you understand the contest mechanisms and if its worth entering.

I think I learn more experimenting and researching for Indy Mogul videos than I ever did at film school! (But I probably underestimate the foundation it laid for me)

I usually edit in 720p 24fps, so I shoot in 60fps when I want the option of slow motion, and I shoot in 1080p 30fps when I want the option of cropping the image.
