The Windows Client marketing team held a 72-hour film festival for Windows 7 in Seattle last month, to create fun and funky videos for our IT Pro community.17 film teams in the Seattle area participated. The contest started on a Thursday at 7pm and concluded on Sunday at 7pm, so the contestants had only 72 hours to create their 2 minute works of art.
Each team picked a different genre from a hat (e.g. Comedy, Music, Parkour, Blast from the Past, etc.). Every entry had to include the following in their film: 1) a character called “CIO Wiggins”, 2) a line of dialog “The guys in IT are going to like this” and of course 3) mention “Windows 7”.
I was asked to help judge the contest and present awards to the winners at a local theater in Seattle.Needless to say, the results are hilarious and interesting. Everyone did an amazing job. I have posted my personal favorite from the competition. Check out all the winners here.
