About this event
Digital Video Production teams plan, film, and edit a 3-5 minute video on a topic released annually -- a PSA, documentary, commercial, or narrative. Judges evaluate concept, cinematography, audio, editing, storytelling, and prompt adherence. Top teams invest heavily in pre-production (script, shot list, storyboard) before a single frame is shot. Post-production polish -- color grade, sound mix, titles -- is what separates strong entries from winning ones.
