ACIS Video Contest Winners

So over the past few months, ACIS has been hosting a YouTube video contest for students going on their trips. They ask that if students got some great footage during their trip, then they should edit it together with some snazzy titles, music and narration; then upload it to YouTube. Well, the contest is officially over and I'm proud to feature the winners here on my blog.

Grand Prize
Kara Daly - Italia: When in Rome
Rancocas Valley Regional High School, New Jersey



1st Place
David Stephenson – Showtime in London
Bensalem High School, Pennsylvania


2nd Place
Jennifer Jensen – Costa Rica
McIntosh High School, Georgia


3rd Place
Michael Martini – Destination Delphi
New Covenant Christian Academy, Oregon



Honorable Mention
Tyler Henderson – The Alps
Chartiers Valley High School, Pennsylvania



I think it's great to see students making videos, because it's what I do as well. Documenting a trip with a video camera is really the best way to preserve certain moments. Photography is great, but video makes sure that you get every frame. Plus, once you edit the video together, you can show your trip to friends over and over again.
