The Story Beyond the Still

Written by Brad Dyment on Jun 24th, 2010

This is very cool. Canon has been running a user-generated film contest called The Story Beyond the Still. The concept is that each chapter of the film is created by a different photographer, who creates their own storyline based on the previous chapters. ie. Pick up where the last chapter left off. Every entry must be filmed in HD (720p or higher) with a Canon 5D or 7D, and be no more than 2-4 minutes in length.

There are obvious challenges to the film makers, since each chapter will be filmed in a new location and with different actors. So far, they’ve done an amazing job creating an engaging storyline and maintaining a consist overall theme.

Here are the first five chapters.

Chapter 1: The Cabbie

Chapter 2: Job Security

Chapter 3: The Beach

Chapter 4: Allison

Chapter 5: Miracle
