Win with an imaginative video clip
The criteria for participation are extremely simple: The necessary software is available, among other things, as a free download for a 21-day test at http://www.videonize.com. The aspiring Videonizers then need only a webcam or digital camera and the idea of how best to convince the jury with their video clip. What matters is showing in the video clip why one is the ideal winner for the prize. The decisive criteria for the MailPerfect jury are originality, humor and creativity. Regardless of whether, for example, a participant performs in front of the camera wearing a helmet, recites a poem about cars in the video clip, tells a car joke in dialect or presents a small toy Cayenne model in an original way – all video clips are welcome and are guaranteed to be viewed. One week after the closing date for entries, MailPerfect will publish at http://www.videonize.com/gewinnspiel the five entries rated best by the jury. Afterwards, the website’s audience will decide on the final winner for one week. All further information on the Videonize competition can be found at http://www.videonize.com/gewinnspiel.
New era for e-mail communication
Film clips are part of everyday life on the Internet: Everyone knows the little films that one enjoys every day, that show curiosities, offer sporting highlights, have a professional intention or are simply funny. With Videonize there is now software for the simple and secure creation and sending of video messages, in a way that was not possible until now. The software does not see itself as video mail but as a new form of e-mail communication, because Videonize guarantees intelligent bandwidth management, content, access and sending protection and thus solves the technical challenges with which classic systems for the electronic sending of moving images struggle.
