nVeil UnVeiling Contest

My friends at Storek Studio announced the 'nVeil UnVeiling' contest today.  The announcement is here, but the gist of it is this: 

To participate in the “nVeil UnVeiling” contest, nVeil customers simply are required to:

• Purchase one nVeil license before July 25, 2009;
• Following the guidelines on www.nveil.com, create a unique, personal new SVG veil and video clip and submit them by October 25, 2009 for judging by Storek Studio artists;
• Upon submission, customers will receive a second nVeil license free, and their veil will be entered into the contest for a chance to win the $500 prize for nVeil creativity.

Pretty cool!  I'm really looking forward to this contest as I really want to see what people do with their creations - how far will their imaginations take them.

The reactions to nVeil have been great so far; VFX artists, editors and content designers seem to be excited about the possibilities.  I was talking to one customer from Brazil - a VFX artist - who was particularly excited about it.  He told me it reminded him of a 1960's art direction, which he says is quite 'hot' right now.  I personally thing the opportunities are endless - music videos, television commercials, creation of unique lower thirds, and what I think the developers also intended, the creation of entirely new works of art.

Contest winners will be announced November 1.  Let's see what happens!
