New Microsoft/Trigger Street Video Contest

I'm a staunch Mac Man, but I realize that 90% of the rest of the world is not. And that's okay, 'cause I still I love you anyway. And just to prove it, here's a post that's just for the Microsoft PC user crowd.

Microsoft and Kevin Spacey's production company, Trigger Street Films, just launched a user-generated video contest called The Ultimate Video Relay to complete a film by "Fanboy" director, Kyle Newman (also a fellow NYU alum). Kyle shot the first part and you shoot the rest, upload it and the audience will vote for the winning entries.

13 identical filmmaker prize packages will be awared in all. There's even one prize for people who vote. Each prize package consists of a PC Laptop, Pinnacle Studio editing software, a Sony HDR-SR11 Camcorder, and of course a copy of Windows Vista operating system software.
