As I'm sure many of you are aware, magician Criss Angel (and many other celebrity magicians, for that matter) have been accused of utilizing camera editing and video deception in their television specials. Whether or not these accusations are based on truth - and we'll withhold judgment - tonight's Saturday Night Contest is designed to improve your post production skills and get your creative juices flowing.
The challenge is to create a video demonstrating the most amazing effect you can come up with. The catch? You must use a camera or editing effect in some way, shape, or form. In this case, the magic should not be genuine. Your method could be as simple as a really hard to notice camera cut or as pronounced as editing in a giant elephant that appears under a napkin. The possibilities are literally endless.
We are looking for creativity and visual appeal tonight. All entries should be uploaded to YouTube, Vimeo, or Drop.io and posted as a response to this thread no later than 11:00pm EST, for judging. The winner tonight will receive a six-pack of playing cards (your choice), on the house. Looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with!
