Vincent Laforet has just announced a new contest sponsored by Canon and Vimeo titled “Story behind the Still“.

The basic premise of the contest is:

Each video chapter will start with and end with a still image… you need to interpret the previous photographer/filmmaker’s still to start the (your) subsequent chapter (those are pretty much the ONLY rules/guidelines (outside of the obvious))… should make for a pretty unique series of chapters in the end!

Watch the Story Behind The Still video below to find out more and jump over to Vincent’s blog for even more details.

Vincent Laforet has just announced that his video Nocturne, which was shot with the Canon 1D Mark IV, is back online.

According to Laforet:

The entire short film was shot with available light (practical lights) in an industrial part of downtown Los Angeles over two nights. Not a single artificial light was added. The footage was shot at 6400 ASA. (We did use a reflector just for kicks on the shot of the little girl – to see if we could bounce sodium-vapor light

It’s a great video and an awesome testimonial to the Canon 1D Mark IV
