Lighting With Emotion ~ Contest!

Altman Lighting is giving away a free HYDRA AIP-200 to the person who posts the most creative and compelling video, recorded on a smartphone, illustrating how lighting evokes emotion.

The challenge: How can lighting evoke a sense of peace and contentment? How about horror, curiosity, or nostalgia? Any emotion will do, as long as your entry clearly communicates emotion, visually.

The restrictions: You cannot use gobos or words (anything that would give away the emotion) – only light, color, and shadow! The challenge is specifically geared towards the impact of light in your home, work or everyday life that you can capture with your smartphone. No entries with words, captions or descriptions will be accepted. 

Get creative using the tools you can fit in your pocket, where you are!

Your entries will be highlighted on social media channels, including Facebook and Instagram.
