The industry is changing Now that SLR cameras can shoot HD video, film makers are flocking to them for their portability, affordability and amazing optics. While you don't have to shoot your entry on an SLR, Nikon is celebrating this

To target this new breed of artist, Nikon has created an online film festival for aspiring film makers and photographers who are discovering video. A Day Through Your Lens Invites film makers to create 140 second movies that will be judged by A-list celebrities and internet superstars, and will be voted on by your own social media savvy peers via Twitter, Facebook, and the Nikon Website.

The winning aspiring film maker will be able to fulfill their dream of film school or fund a production with a $100,000 cash prize plus Nikon gear. There is also a second prize of $25,000 plus gear.
