    Great competition, when do the polls open?

    • Solopress says:

      Early next week Stephen. Have you entered our video contest yet?

  2. Maddie wilson says:

    I think video 2 has a fun retro feel. Good luck and well done all entries. Negative comments are never helpful. Positivity all the way. What an excellent idea for new film makers o make their mark. Well done to all involved.

  3. Mrs Straz says:

    Love the retro feel and the voice over in vid 2!! Good luck number 2 :)

  4. Rob Markham says:

    I thought video 2 was well put together, but I thought it felt like an actual advert. Reading the Solopress examples on the competition page, like “wear a crazy outfit emblazoned with Solopress.com and start a conga line down your high street” or “tap dance in front of a poster” or “make up a funny joke about printing”, I thought they were looking for something a bit more wacky or fun. Video 5 made me laugh, so I voted for that. May the best one win!

  5. Verity Bloom says:

    I had to vote for video 5, it reminds me of Mickey Spillane’s Mike Hammer, the old b&w detective show! Very funny lines in it, wacky to boot – perfect. Love it :D

    Video 4 with the ants gave me to think of all the people at solopress working together to get the end result of a job well done.

    Video 3 is indeed insane, if I were seen by that doctor, I’d run screaming lol

    Video 2 reminded me of the old WW2 promos. Nicely done.

    Video 1 showed me a “boring” day with no highlights until solopress arrives through the door YAY

    I find it rather sad that all of these videos don’t seem to be getting viewed equally, mostly just 2 and 5. It appears that they really aren’t getting judged on the videos themselves, rather getting judged on who has the most friends :( Shame cos all of them are rather bloody good.

    Toodle-pip.

  6. Verity Bloom says:

    P.S. I think all of the arguemental comments should be deleted by solopress. It cheapens the competition in my eyes. The only ones who have commented in any rational, sane way are what appears to be the video makers themselves, trying to smooth ruffled feathers. Good for them, shame on the rest.

    • Solopress says:

      Thanks for your messages and entertaining mini reviews for every video, Verity.

      Solopress have taken your suggestion on-board and deleted the negative comments.

    Solopress.com would like to remind everyone that our competition is open until 31st August 2012. That means ANYONE in the UK still has an opportunity to enter their own video and then lobby plenty of support for it!

    Creating a hit video on YouTube could easily get you 500,000+ views and votes in the next 5 weeks – and you’ll also win a rather nice £500 of Amazon.co.uk Vouchers to spend on whatever your heart desires.

    We’re not asking you to create a blockbuster movie from the likes of Scorsese or Spielberg either. All you have to do is pick up your mobile phone and video ANYTHING that simply mentions Solopress.com in some way.

    Here are just a few of the examples we’ve already given to get your creative juices flowing:

    * Shout out “Solopress.com” when nobody is expecting it
    * Wear a crazy outfit or hat with Solopress.com emblazoned on it and start a conga line down your local high street
    * Paint Solopress.com on your fence
    * Do your best BMX or skateboard tricks in front of a banner with Solopress.com written on it
    * Perform a Solopress.com rap

    Or how about shaving Solopress.com into your hair cut? Or get a temporary Solopress.com tattoo? Or simply talk about Solopress.com if you’ve used our printing services before? The possibilities are endless. So get video making right now and amaze all the voters with your imagination, creativity and pure genius.
