SUN MOTION Awards 2010

September 3, 2010

For all video and movie makers, the SUN MOTION Awards offers the ideal platform to really showcase their skills in using the video functionality of still cameras. The Sun Motion Awards form part of the annual Shot Up North (SUN) Awards which recognise and reward commercial photography of those based in the Northern regions of the UK.

There is a rapidly growing need for professional video photographers as companies look at alternative and more interactive ways of promoting their products and services. You only need to look at the huge popularity of websites like YouTube to see how web video has become such a prominent part of consumers purchasing decisions. Online video is constantly springing up on websites every day as companies see this as an effective and engaging way to aptly demonstrate their offering. The SUN MOTION Awards recognise the importance of this form of photography which is why they have introduced this new category for 2010.

The Awards are now open and the closing date has now been extended to 30 September 2010 with the winning entry selected as SUN MOTION movie of the Year. Judges will base their choice for the winning entry on the editing and directing decisions of the photographer shooting entirely with the video functionality of a still camera. With movies needing to be between 30 seconds to 5 minutes the photographers won’t have much time to truly impress the judges in their quest to have their movie shown at the SUN 22 Premier Night in Leeds held later this year.
