SIM DIGITAL BEIJING Labor film contest : Honoring workers

SIM DIGITAL BEIJING Labor film contest : Honoring workers

The month of May begins with Labor Day, and no one works harder than film crews on set for 48 hours straight! There’s no respite until every scene is shot!

凡是电影工作者都了解片场的艰辛，

有时为了一个镜头就要通宵达旦……

劳动节是劳动人民的节日。辛勤工作，反映观众心声的电影工作者不正是劳动节的最佳代言人吗？

SIM Digital ( equipment rental) and 7 Horns ( scrīpt and subtitle translation)  salute all of Beijing’s hard working cast and crew with this new event! We’re calling upon all independent filmmakers and commercial studios to rise to the challenge and shoot a new short video for us to judge and reward!

为此，SIM Digital电影器材租赁公司和7 Horns (七角创作室，主营字幕和剧本翻译)将举办一场别开生面的庆祝劳动节的活动！我们将为电影工作者和广告工作室举办一场奖励丰厚的短片比赛！

The contest winner will be determined by the organizers and by audience votes. A 10,000RMB equipment voucher prizeprovided by SIM Digital is up for grabs! That’s enough to shoot a long project with a SONY PMW-EX3, Canon 5D MK III, or a Canon C300. It’s enough to shoot a short project with a RED MX, a RED Epic, a SONY F5, or an ARRI ALEXA. We’re talking about the whole package here! Not just the camera body!

SIM Digital can provide your project with more than just cameras and lenses. Just call for any gear you need!

冠军将由组织者和观众投票共同评出，奖品为由SIM Digital摄影器材公司提供的价值10000元人民币的代金券！

10000元在SIM Digital 可以租到什么呢？

1.    一台SONY PMW-EX3, 一台Canon 5D MK III, 或 Canon C300。可进行较长时间的拍摄。

2.    一台RED MX, 一台 RED Epic, 一台SONY F5, 或者一台ARRI ALEXA，可进行较短时间的拍摄。

（注）奖品提供的不仅仅是摄影机，还包括相关的全套设备！

SIM Digital公司不仅为客户提供摄影机和镜头租赁，还有各种设备任您挑选！

The theme of this contest is  work . Good, solid, bread winning, hard and under-appreciated labor. We want your short narrative works to exemplify this theme, and remind audiences that civilization rises on the backs of those who struggle for a day’s wage.

此次比赛的主题——劳动。 那些优秀的，辛勤的，挣扎的，有创造性的，被低估的劳动者。 我们希望参赛者以故事短片的形式展现这个主题，并能够传达给观众“劳动人民创造文明”的信息。

Shorts must be between 4 and 7 minutes in length, and delivered in a standard SD or HD video format, or at least DVD NTSC or PAL.

Quicktime .mov, or Windows .avi files are perfectly acceptable, so long as they’re using common codecs such as H.264.

短片时长限制为4—7分钟，请参赛者以标准的SD或HD视频格式发给我们，如果实在困难，也可接受DVD NTSC或 PAL格式。 如果参赛者使用H.264解码器，也可将短片以Quicktime, .mov或 Windows .avi文件的形式发送参赛作品。

All shorts must be intelligible in Chinese Putonghua, or have Chinese subtitles.

所有参赛短片台词必须为标准普通话，如使用其他方言或他国语言，须配中文字幕。

Shorts must be delivered to us at SIM Digital, or uploaded to our FTP server, before May 13. So you have a little over two weeks to make something special to show your peers!

参赛作品须在2013年5月13日前送达SIM Digital, 或上传到我们的FTP服务器。各位还有将近三周的时间准备您的短片，赶快行动起来吧！

Selected shorts, and that hopefully means all of them, will be initially screened at Salsa Caribe on Sunday, May 19, in the afternoon from 2pm to 7pm. After the screening there will be free Salsa dancing lessons at 8pm!

Shorts will be screened again and winners announced the following weekend, May 25 and 26, at a new venue called TOUCH, that is right next to Salsa Caribe.

选中的短片作品（我们会尽量放映全部作品）将于5月19日下午14:00-19:00间在Salsa 卡利宾进行首次放映，于5月25日和26日在TOUCH酒吧进行再次放映，并宣布获胜者。

WHY

The best way for movie makers in Beijing to get to know each other and form new partnerships for new projects is for everyone to watch each others shorts and talk to the producers and directors in attendance!

Also, the contest organizers make no claim to distribution rights or use of any submitted content. Your movie is sent to us to screen a few times and judge for the prize, that’s all!

我们为什么要举办本次比赛？

电影人们结识彼此的最佳方式就是观看对方的作品，通过交流使大家互通有无，并发展新的合作关系！

（注）本次比赛的主办方不具备对参赛作品的使用权和发行权。征集和评奖，我们要做的只有这么多！
