Competition - Red Bull

I have entered a competition this academic year and it was the Red Bull Canimation competition.

The prize for the competition was an internship with an animation company and also the winner video was shown on channel 4 and in cinemas in the UK.

I did manage to win the competition but i was in the top ten in the country and become a finalist.

To get to the top 10 i had to get as many views as possible by the public. I don't feel this is a fair way to run a competition as some good animation may never be seen due to lack of social networking. I thought it was unfair for people without social network sites.

I promoted my video as much as i could by emailing and phone other universities and colleges asking them to contact there students, i emailed all the students at PCA and also managed to get into the local paper to get some support. Here are the viewing figures of my video over the two weeks of voting.

As you can see, from promoting my work i got over 3,000 people to view my work in two 2 week. I don't think this is a bad achievement and i think i done well to get there kind of figures. This shows how easy and fast self promotion can be if done properly and try every avenue.
