Check out today's Creative Pick!
Our Creative Vado HD Film Contest is coming to a close. Students from film schools all over the nation have submitted their films to be voted on by all of us–the general public–as well as our Expert Panel of Judges. Winners have the chance to win killer prizes, including cash, an internship with a famous film maker, a handful of Vado HD pocket cams, and other awesome Creative gear.
We have had the pleasure of watching all the incredible films that have come in for the contest. It is rewarding to see all the thought and talent that has gone into each Vado HD video. We thought it would be a great idea to share a video a day–a Creative Pick–so everyone can see the videos that we, your Creative staff, gravitated towards.
Today’s film, The Throne, comes from University of North Carolina film student Laura Green. The premise of the film is a retelling of a dream our lead character and narrator has had. Our lead wanders around a gritty, industrial setting as the narrative pulls together the images we are seeing. We salute Green’s story telling; the script has just the right amount of dry humor (I specifically loved the audible fumbling of whether to use “dragged” or “drug”) and she did a great job wielding our high definition pocket cam. The piece had a similar flavor to that of dark-indie great, Brick, which left me with the impression that Green has already taken the first step in what could be a long career in film. We think her Vado Film Contest entry is a great piece for her portfolio.
Take a look at The Throne, and let us know what you think.
You can vote for The Throne on the Vado Film Contest site until Jan 31st when voting closes.
Come back tomorrow to see Tuesday’s Creative Pick.

Hey, this is Laura. Thanks for everything. I just wanted to point out that I co-directed The Throne with Elijah Allred.
