Quickly becoming severely disappointed with this contest. When I first noticed it, and watched the example video, I figured "hey, if all they want is someone in front of a webcam with an engaging story to tell then I might have a shot at it". I figured everyone would have a fair chance.
However, upon reading more and more of the J-mod posts, it's becoming clear that they don't actually care about the substance of the video and will only select someone with a high-quality recording equipment and over-the-top editing skills.
There's also no mention of the fact that it can be something entirely different than a person in front of a camera in the official post. So having already made and sent in my video interview, I'm fairly certain I stand next to no chance of winning anything.
If I had some fine wine, I would toast everyone good luck anyway. Even though I know Excl or someone like him will win this "pretty" contest with over-editted effects.
Cheers!
