Hey guys, hope you all are having an excellent start to the weekend! If you haven't seen already, the Tarantula II has crawled its way into our store. The long-awaited update to Yigal Mesika's classic device, Tarantula II is a powerful, practical close-up levitation tool that will enable you to make any small object float in mid-air or move on command. To help celebrate what this amazing device can do, tonight's contest is inspired by the art of levitation.
What's the challenge? Your job is to create an effect that involves an "impossible" suspension/levitation in some way. It could be the main part of the effect, or it could be a tiny part. The main thing we are looking for is how creatively the suspension/levitation is used in the effect. For example, you could levitate a ring as you place it on your finger, suspend a deck of cards on the edge of a table, etc. As long as there is a suspension/levitation in your effect, it is fair game.
What are we looking for specifically in the judging process? Creativity, Execution, and Originality. Make sure your effect is polished before filming, and make sure you think outside the box for this one. The more creative, unique, and original, the better. Also, the video must be NEW - uploaded between the posting of this contest and the end. Any old videos submitted will be automatically disqualified.
Film your performance and upload it to either YouTube, Vimeo, or Instagram. Then, post the link to your video in response to THIS forum thread by no later than 11:00pm EST tomorrow, Sunday, September 24th. After time is up, our panel of judges will go through all submissions and decide on a winner based on the criteria listed above.
What can you win? 1,000 Elite Points and your very own Tarantula II, shipped on the house, anywhere in the world.
Good luck!
