P.S. Check out films and photos from the event on our facebook page.

 

We were inspired to create this event by a recent Canon commercial featuring users playing tag with cameras. It looked like too much fun- so we thought, why not have our own? Come out and get involved on the 23rd of July to make this a regular event in Santa Cruz. We can’t wait to see you out there!

RSVP on Facebook >>

Here’s how we’ll do it:

First things first:

  1. Meet downtown at the Clock-tower at 2pm on July 23rd, 2011.
  2. Bring your digital camera- remember to charge those batteries and bring an empty memory card!
  3. Your friends
  4. BOTH A RED AND BLUE SHIRT.

There will be 3 different events:

I. Freeze tag

Objective: Grab the most shots of the other team in a limited amount of time, while avoiding getting your picture taken. Run! Hide! Leap! Shoot!

Setting: Science Hill @ UCSC

Winner: The team that takes the most photos of the opposing team

II. Scavenger Hunt

Objective: Capture as many photgraphs of the listed items/objects/people/situations as you can in the time given.

Setting: Throughout downtown Santa Cruz

Winner: The team that captures the most photos on the list

 

III. Instant Short/Photo Film Contest

Objective: Create a 1 minute film (or sequence of photographs) without cuts to be shown immediately after completion.

Setting: Anywhere in Santa Cruz! Spread out!

Winner: Group with the most creative and original film, as judged by all contestants
