Beijing 080808 Video Contest

The Beijing Games are the most anticipated Olympics in a generation. The once closed country of China has invested billions of dollars to throw the biggest and best coming out party the world has ever seen. TrackandFieldtours.com and Flotrack are teaming up to get you and a friend to the Olympics. TrackandFieldtours.com is the best way to catch all the track action in Beijing. It's so good that a lot of their clients are the athletes' family and friends. Track and Field Tours owners, Adam and Jessica Dailey were both Footlocker finalists and ran at the University of Arkansas who, like us at Flotrack, saw a need in our sport and decided to do something about it. The best uploaded video will win a track fans dream vacation, a trip for two to the 08 games with tickets to the track events. For more info about the wining prize and about the community's own Adam and Jessica Dailey click Track and Field Tours.

Win a trip to the 2008 Games in Beijing, China! Get your videos ready because the best uploaded video wins a pair of flights, hotel accommodations and tickets to the track competitions at the 08 Beijing Games. The contest is sponsored by Track & Field Tours. Visit their website at trackandfieldtours.com

Constructive Critic   May 16, 2008 at 2:39pm
Incredible scenery and neat story idea. The biggest critique would be a bit of meticulous editing (i.e. how long it take to put the shoes on and get out the door). The concept could have been portrayed even more effectively with fewer, more purposeful shots. That said, I still enjoyed it and a fine piece overall.

i like this video. it could be a smidge shorter, however the camera work is really good and captures the spirit of the contest well. i think this could end up being a serious threat in the final round
reply  
Ann Mandico   May 20, 2008 at 12:09am
I loved the creativity and adventurous nature of this film. It was inspiring and made me feel like putting on my running shoes and heading up a mountain. I was impressed with the filming, especially with the varied terrain and overall challenging areas to film in.
The olympic theme was just perfect for this season....
Great job.

K.o   May 23, 2008 at 3:10pm
this video would have benefited from being shorter. it's well shot and the scenery is good. however, the shoe tying was too drawn out, and as i think someone before wrote, it would have been even more effective with fewer more meaningful shots. not saying it's not a good video, just trying to be constructive.
