   Another lazy film!

   How many more of these boring films do we have to watch!

   Take some old footage or stock shot and lay some factual dialogue over.

   Boring unimaginative and predictable.

   How enchanting!

   Love the old footage of children playing at London Zoo – a visit to the zoo being the only time many of us are likely to come into contact with threatened species from far afield.

   The old black n white footage also conjures ideas of passing legacies down to future generations.

   Nice to have something so captivating yet so gentle in the mix – and not just some glossy advert.

   In a competition, there are always finalists and those who don’t get through. The problem we had was that there were so many fantastic videos to choose from that there was inevitably going to be great films that didn’t make it, especially as we had to meet a criteria for each category.

   However, we’ve decided to rectify this a little and reward 5 more great videos. These have been added to the shortlist and will also guaranteed receive a subscription to Shooting People. They will be on our homepage soon.

   The five videos are:

   Tank head, Nature finds a way, Paving the planet, Earth clock, Restore the earth

   WHAT WAFFLE FROM THE JUDGES THESE FILMS SHOULD BE REMOVED!

   THIS COMPETITION HAS BEEN CORRUPTED!
