I like these video contests, but if the main prize is lower then my usual fee, it's not attractive to enter at all.
With these prizes you're only going to attract the hobbyists because the serious amateurs and pros are used to making more money.


EDIT by the way those girls from fiverr are charming and fun. Good pick. But if I were to make you a video I'd make it a bit more businesslike and serious, with a video screencap and good pro voice over, more like this : http://shapeshift.io/about.html. ( note that I made that )

I might give this a go if inspiration comes. Have been video editor/cameraman but it's been awhile ago. Thanks.

I agree with this. A pro video takes more than a chance to win a btc. Someone needs to work several days to produce something good and he wants to be sure to get paid.

Does the video need a voice over?

Well all depends, few months ago 1 btc would be more. ;-)
For now that's all we can put up, the winner(s) may get hired for more work depending on how it all goes, never know.
Nice work on that shapeshift video. looks good.

Understandable, but this is just a fun little contest to see what the community comes up with. You have till December anyways, so no rush. :-P

I guess that depends on what the video is, if it fees like it needs a voice over. It probably does. :-P

Generally a video with a voice over will make people pay more attention. It'll also mean you should use less text on the screen, because you want to avoid speaking out loud what viewers can read for themselves. Because that's treating your viewers like morons. Show or tell, don't show AND tell.
