Sachtler Catalog Cover Competition – Your shot can make it!

Valley Cottage, NY, November 26, 2012 – Sachtler, part of Vitec Videocom, a Vitec Group company, is planning its 2013/14 catalog. Because a cover should represent what a company is all about, Sachtler wants its users to show how they perceive the brand and its values by offering a photo competition. The best shot will be shown on the cover of the new Sachtler catalog and its contributor will get a free FSB 8 tripod system with a Speed Lock tripod. Ace M MS tripod systems will be given-away to two participants in a random drawing.

Sachtler is a brand that’s especially focused on its users and their needs. This is why Sachtler decided that the best catalog cover is a photo taken by its users showing how they work with Sachtler camera support. This gives users the chance to have their projects shine because they are the ones who know best what filmmaking is all about and that the challenges of good equipment are: versatility, reliability and an easy handling.

As Global Brand Manager Tobias Keuthen explains, ”Sachtler users can rely on 50 years of German engineering and high quality standards. We focus on technologies that allow particularly fast and easy set-up of our camera support, on repeatability of settings and whenever possible, our equipment is light in weight for easy and comfortable transport. These are the values that Sachtler hopes to portray on the cover of the upcoming 2013/14 Catalog.”

It’s all about participation

The Sachtler Catalog Cover Competition will take place until December 10, 2012. To join, participants are asked to upload up to three behind-the-scenes photos and a description of the most impressive filmmaking project they realized with Sachtler equipment. A jury consisting of Cinematographer Richard Ladkani, Global Brand Manager Tobias Keuthen and the Creative Director of Sachtler’s communication agency Sommer Kommunikation GmbH, Frank Bernhard Übler, will choose the winning shot that will make it on the cover of the 2013/14 Sachtler Catalog.
