The voting is finished and has been compiled for the Kodak/ActiveRain Video Challenge. We are very proud of how many folks had the initiative to dive into video for this challenge. We were pleasantly surprised how many submissions we got. Many of you made great videos that you will no doubt be able to use in your business. Some of you made your first video and we hope this will be a catalyst to make many more. We promise, online video is here to stay and your customers will begin to expect this as part of your marketing when they hire you to sell their home.

We would like to take a quick second to thank our judges for the time they spent reviewing all the video submissions. What a great bunch of videos and the judging was extremely challenging.

A special thank you to:

Without further ado, the top 2 videos in the Kodak/ActiveRain Video Challenge as decided by our panel of judges based on how creative the video was, the potential the video has to generate business and how engaging the video is to watch.

1st Place: Why Use Cape May Chris

 

2nd Place: The Vanishing Realtorasaur

 

3rd-12th (in no particular order)


These participants will get 7500 ActiveRain points and an ActiveRain T-shirt, but more important, they got a great video to use in their business:

Discover Coffee Creek

I these - both of them!  Chris' addition of the children was just precious, and the Realatorasaur was sooooo funny!

Great job guys!

Been having equipment problems and right now my speakers aren't working. Kind of interesting watching without sound! Hopefully, will have corrected soon.

This message is in reply to William James Walton, Sr. (post #29).  Hey William~ you're right.  Some of us have been doing video longer.  I created a "How to" video.  From one real estate professional to another.  I've actually posted it twice over the last year.  You can find it here (the original post) or here (I reposted in the new VBloggers group since this video contest has gotten us all fired up about video). I hope this will help you!  =)

What great fun! I must admit that the Realtorasaur is really my favorite. But what a great showing of Realtor imagination!

Hi Hillary, Glad you like my "Realtorasaur" movie!  I am sort of an "out of the box" thinker so it was way fun to make! Due to this video I have numerous new Facebook Friends and over 1300 view of the video, people are using it to teach their social networking classes and I get a new camera! Maybe the next video I do will be a 3 camera shoot. 2 Kodak cameras and my Mac!

Sorry for the delay in response to all of you. I was in Disney on Vacation with the stars of the Video! What a great way to end a vacation. I am glad all of you enjoyed the video.

To the "Vanishing Realatorasaurus" Unfortunately there are too many agents like that, many in my own office. Your video will greatly help me explain what they need to do. For any of you who have questions about how I put my video together I would be more than willing to help. Again thank you all for the wonderful comments.

Hope to show some more good stuff in the Future....Looking forward to AR Boot Camp in AC April 4th-5th!

You don't need more comments, but here goes one anyway.

The young guy used a very direct approach. Use me because I am local, have lived here, and am raising a family here. That would work, because he didn't come across as arrogant, and the kids and dog added some humor.

Never hurts to use cute kids in a video.  Maybe I need to give that a whirl on my site.
