Olympus Reveals PEN Short Film Contest Runner-Up

The folks at Olympus ran a contest at the Vail Film Festival a few weeks back to show off the abilities of their Olympus PEN cameras as filmmaking tools; like the E-PL2 for example. Contestants had 48 hours to plan, shoot and edit a short film using an Olympus PEN camera.

Olympus has just released the video from the runner up on YouTube. It's called 'Der Burgermeister' and though it channels 'Borat' pretty heavily for the plot and comedy style, it's a nice quick watch that really helps to show off both the strengths and weaknesses of the camera.

On May 3rd, Olympus will be posting 'Ancient Rituals of Odaroloc Tribe,' which was another film from the festival. You can also find the contest winner 'Running Colors' on YouTube now.
