The Story Beyond the Still "The Cabbie" - Behind The Scenes from Vincent Laforet on Vimeo.

Photographer Vincent Laforet has in interesting concept here. Teaming up with Canon, he is introducing the first user-generated HD video contest and is challenging photographers to become filmmakers and "see beyond the still." Laforet was given a still image, which he interpreted into a short movie, the first chapter of seven shot on his Canon EOS 7D of course. Each chapter will end with a still photograph that will be the inspiration for the next chapter. The contest will begin Jan. 15, 2010.
