We have a new category! Winners of past video contests share their experience of participating in the contest✨

They will tell you how the idea for the video came about and how they jointly implemented the idea, winning the main prize for the best video🙌🏻

Janelle's team won the main prize last year, they had quite a rich experience of participation, read below why⬇️🤫

«It all started at the beginning of the 10th grade, when I discovered video production and filming.
There were a few in the class who were interested in filmmaking: Me, Daniyar, Danialla, Mansur and Inkar.
I don’t remember who exactly brought up the NU Video contest, but I remember how quickly we got together and decided that we would participate.
It was important for us to take part in this competition for a couple of reasons:
gain experience in video production
voice the importance of academic integrity
test our skills

The main thing I would like to note about our work is the team spirit.
Even if everyone had separate tasks, we always consulted with each other.
Let's say, Me and Inkar were responsible for the scenario/script, however everyone had a say in the process

I think the easiest part of the whole thing was filming ( shoutout to our cameraman Daniyar, main actor Mansur and creative director Daniala).
I made a table beforehand, where our schedule corresponded to what scene we are filming, what props to bring and the lines of the actors.
This made the filming considerably easier and less stressful
(Of course from a cameraman’s perspective that must have been less fun 😂)

To me the hardest part was editing. Me, Daniyar and Daniala had to meet up to make sure everything is according to the script. While Daniala was making the graphics for the video, Daniyar was editing and I was reviewing the footage.
In the end it all came into one piece.
Even then we were happy just to finish this ambitious project of ours

Actually, now that I recall everything so clearly, the hardest part of the whole process was waiting for the announcements
On the day X, when we found out we won the grand prize 🏆, we were elated and relieved that all the hard work paid off
There is nothing sweeter than a good old victory😂 ( jk)

So dear future contestants, this contest is a great way to start or continue expressing your love for meaningful art, filmmaking
I wish you all luck
And until you try, you never know whether you’ll succeed or not🥇»
