New, Different Kind of Video Contest

I'm actually thinking it might not be the worst idea to limit the entries to something like 60 or 90 seconds. Think about, a 90 second video is 3x longer than most TV commercials. That also keeps the videos from being too long in both the time it takes to watch all the entries and bandwidth they will take up.

 

And to give you an example of what can be done in 90 seconds, have a look at our Bonfante Gardens Segment and that one is 11 megs zipped up!

I like the 90 second idea. It would keep it from getting repetitive, as people are unlikely to use all the same shots from 8 minutes of footage in their 90 second video.

I agree. The shorter the better.
