Streaming FLV/FV4 Pegasus Contest Entries.

Vote for your favourite!


ORIGINAL POST:

In a departure from our usual fare, our next product launch will be bit different. All we're telling you is that the system is called "Pegasus". Teaser pics will be provided every day or so (we might miss a few over Christmas but on January 5th, we'll be exposing all, and announcing our contest winner.

To win the contest you'll need to submit a commercial for Pegasus, no longer than 120 seconds in length. Shoot it on anything, in any part of the world and submit your final product encoded in H264 at a resolution of 1280x720 using a bitrate of 5000 kbps. Keep in mind that we're not telling you what Pegasus is until after the submission deadline at midnight Jan 5.

The Pegasus system has not shown up in any video or picture yet..and it's much more than what you may be thinking. Your first clue are the words "inside, outside and upside down". Have fun, and I'll answer a few questions here in a cryptic fashion where necessary.

I'll be checking in on this thread, but check daily in our forum thread for updates :-)

What will be the criteria used to select the winner? Does it have to be a correct guess or just entertianment value, etc.?
 
Hey Dennis
was waiting for the news all day...and all i got was a pixelated pic. We at Visual Architeks will be getting in on this contest also. I also think its a cage system where you can incorporate the "Proteus" cage.

a rain coat for the brevis... brilliant :beer:

No, it's a new Klein bottle flip module that allows a camera to shoot itself from the inside.
 
The winner will be selected via our forum polling system. I can tell you that something that makes us laugh is a good thing.

I'm in on this contest with Prashanna, but I don't think it's a cage.
 
I was just watching the Cinevate video university for their follow focus and he used the phrase "inside, outside and upside down" when talking about the follow focus and the cage.
 
I explained this over at Scarletuse, and I'll explain it again here. This is simply a way to launch a product and have some fun at the same time. In two weeks Pegasus will be shipping, and one entry will get themselves about $1200 of product by shooting a 120 second commercial for something they've never seen. The fact that we're posting sneak peaks just ups the fun factor in my book. As far as I'm aware, no one has ever launched a product like this before. The winning entry will make us laugh...and likely have zero to do with the product.

If any are offended by this, it's certainly not our intention.

Cheers,
Dennis.
