ABOUT
I went to school for Radio Television Film Communications and wound up winning 2nd place in a college video contest just after I got married. We took the money and moved to CA where I soon after got a job for a small (non-union) production company. I worked in the industry for about 5 years doing corporate, commercial and special event videos (every aspect, including editing, audio, lighting, writing, etc..)
After I was rear-ended on the 405 & 101 interchange my back didn't allow me to continue to do a lot of the physical work I was doing for the small production company. I taught myself all about computers and changed careers and I'm now a Senior Developer.. (My wife and I moved back to the East coast soon after changing my career)..
I love to do video work and I really hope I can win a contest so I can get a better camera as my HDV camera is SO noisy, even in loads of light!!

Only video winners need to provide release forms. Should you win, wou will be prompted to enter video credits. Once those credits are approved by a Tongal Admin, you will be prompted to fill out the appropriate releases for your video.

Most of the video projects on Tongal now use the Pitch phase. I'm just curious why a brand would prefer that over just going from the Idea Phase to the Video Phase. I realize they are getting a more developed concept etc. but it seems the Pitch Phase trend is taking the "Crowd" out of crowdsourcing.

Tongal has always been an iterative platform and the Pitch Phase is simply the next logical step in our process. From a brand perspective, the Pitch phase allows for more fully developed, "on-equity" creative to emerge, which means more potential applications and uses for the content.

From a creative standpoint, it means guaranteed payment, increased client feedback and greater exposure for the producer. We think it has, therefore, created a win-win situation for both sides of the equation.

I do see the merit in the Pitch Phase, I like the idea of having a production budget & guaranteed payment. I just hope it doesn't narrow the playing field too much as time goes by.5:17AM May 15, 2012
