CinSyn Hosts Santa Cruz’s 1st Camera Olympics
UPDATE! It’s time to announce the winners of the different camera olympic events….
Scavenger Hunt: April Short won a Plantronics Headset
Camera Tag: Blake Allan and James Tipton won a goodie bag of Niman Ranch Sustainable Meats
Short Film Contest: Josh Gorham and family won $50 to Bay Photo
Congrats to all the winners and participants! We hope you had a lot of fun and join us again next time.
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:
- Meet downtown at the Clock-tower at 2pm on July 23rd, 2011.
- Bring your digital camera- remember to charge those batteries and bring an empty memory card!
- Your friends
- 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
