Happy Winter!

It's November, and that means its time for the final member exhibition competition. Think you got what it takes to be the coveted Bay Area Videographer of the Year? Only one will win this honor, and you can only win by submitting your best video from the last 12 months.

This will be our last exhibition of the year and the last meeting of the year, so make sure you end with a bang and bring the best of the best to exhibit.

We will NOT be holding a meeting in December... Happy Holidays to you and your family!

2012 will start early with a special meeting on January 3rd (Tuesday) with Alan Berg. He will be speaking on Sales specific to the video production field. So save the date and plan on a great beginning of 2012.

We are also planning our annual Kick Off dinner later in January. We will be sending out details after the first of the year.


Member Exhibition Details
Submit Your Best Videos!

This will be the third and last exhibition of 2011 and scores will count towards the Bay Area Professional Videographer of the Year award. The competition is tough this year, we have a ton of talent in our association. If you think you have what it takes, follow the instructions below and plan on submitting your best video.

There is a new procedure in place for exhibition submissions. We will be accepting all projects on USB formatted thumb drives (or portable drives). File format is Vimeo HD quality. I believe most of you are already familiar with Vimeo, but just in case you need additional information and edit-platform specific help, you can find it here: http://www.vimeo.com/forums/topic:3671  For reference purposes, our projector is an NEC NP901W (720p native).

Submissions can be in event, corporate or educational categories and should be limited to 4 minutes. Please keep identifying information (studio/company name) off the thumb drive, project title, and internal graphics so that they can be judged subjectively. Please plan on submitting only one (1) video for exhibition.

Also new for 2011 will be an "American Idol" style judging that will add an audience-favorite component to the scoring.
