Shoot Off - Kensington Market (Video)
Thursday, July 22, 2010 at 3:08PM Kensington Market; Toronto's free spirited, some say bohemian cultural district, located west of Spadina Ave and south of College St., became the first of many Silverpoint Media Shoot-off locations. What is a Silverpoint Media Shoot-off? I’m glad you asked.
Each Silverpoint Media Shoot-off will consist of a unique focus, including a set of rules and guidelines which must be followed by all participants. While following the guidelines, each cinematographer will put their own creative take or spin on the set topic at hand - delivering a uniquely original piece representative of each individual’s artistic perspective. Apart from the opportunity to spend a beautiful day out of the office, eat delicious food, and continue the ongoing team bonding present day-to-day at Silverpoint Media; our goal is to experiment, hone, and perfect our skills as filmmakers by doing what we love best, filming.
1. All footage must be shot at Kensington Market
2. All footage must be shot within 1 hour
3. Meet at the end of the hour for milk and cookies
That’s it! Simple eh? Here are the final videos from the 1st ever Silverpoint Media Shoot-off at Kensington Market. Enjoy!
