Michael Nyman, one of Britain’s most celebrated and recognised contemporary composers, is giving you one of his tracks for use in your films, absolutely free.
By using the track and uploading the resulting film to your Shooting People profile, you will have a chance to win a personal endorsement from Nyman, as well as training packaged valued at £750 from the Frontline Club. As a judge – and a filmmaker himself – Nyman will be looking for the most creative and original use of his soundtrack.
This competition is open to Shooting People members only.
Entries close 12 August, and the winner will be announced 19 August 2009.
Reflecting its commitment to independent journalism, The Frontline Club is offering filmmakers a choice of two training courses to the value of £750, either advanced editing skills with FCP or shooting with a broadcast quality camera.
To enter, all you need to do is:
- Upload your film to your profile
- Once the film is fully encoded, please select ‘video upload’, ‘enter my film into’ and finally check the box next to ‘Michael Nyman competition’
