Description

Any short video with the theme of OzBargain.

It could be "Life as an OzBargainer" or "What it is to be an OzBargainer" . You could show us how to pricematch, Broden, Harvey Norman professional or Scotty doesn't know. It's up to you.

How to make the video?

I used my PC and Camtasia Studio but you can use Vine (iOS, 6 second videos), your SLR, or whatever method you choose as long as the video is publicly viewable on the Internet.

Samples:

Here is something I whipped up tonight (I'm not a pro). Broden: Let's Make Money

If you can remember back 4 or so years ago, we had a similar contest, in which the winner produced this awesome video

        If Simon Cowell was a judge in this competition, I would be sure he would have puked after watching Jackbob's video.

    • My entry was supposed to be a joke but judging by this it could actually be true!

    • +3

      It concerns me that in your video the condom has an expiry date of 2001 … going through a bit of a dry spell?

      regardless, make sure you dont use it - expired condoms have much higher rates of failure(pregnancy and STI) and causing irritation.

      • +1

        It concerns me that in your video the condom has an expiry date of 2001 … going through a bit of a dry spell?

        Absolute Gold!

      • haha, well I don't know what could have been worse having a condom which expired in 2001 or the fact that I would have been 9 years old when it expired. Sex before my teens, oh dear!!!

        I put the way out of date condom in this video on purpose as a joke of course. As to how I acquired this I will let you use your imagination. Cause using our imagination is fun.

  • I have made an entry! It emulates the overwhelming nature of OzBargain's diverse range of offers.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CqjAJJYQt8
    Hope you like it!

  • My entry took a bit longer than i would of preferred it to be however i'm semi happy with the results..

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQlV9mm9OhI
    its more of a usable advert if one is ever needed

    (yes I'm a harsh critic of myself!)

    • +1

      Wow! It would have taken a while just to find all those comments!

    • +3

      The professionals are at it again:)

    • +4

      Spoiler alert: It's a video of nothing, with a loud screaming noise at the end.

    • +2

      Lameturd aka turdsauce, u're obviously a big fan of Jackbob's work.So am I.But while his/hers/its(?) entry is almost Tim Burtonish in its weirdness, yours is like donga100 has said "a video of nothing,with loud screaming noise at the end" and u've just scared the shit out of my 18-mths olds,my dog…and prolly my neighbours too. so here's your -1 from each of us >:(

      • *Tim Burtonesque

    • +2

      And normal people are going to hate too.

    • You are both lame and a turd.
      Thank you for not being misleading.

    • +2

      Looks like its Lameturd. He's living up to his nickname…sad

      • that's not me or jackbob. he negged our videos too

        <MOD: Remove personal attack>

        • +2

          You video has 9 dislikes though, perhaps the screaming at the end has something to do with it?

    Hi everyone, here's Stuff Ozbargainers Say; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqn94zrPCyY&feature=youtu.be

  • Oh no I've missed the deadline :((

    • Didn't see this post either until just now! Nooooo!

      • it's been sitting on the front page for weeks…

        • @Yarkin Yeah. I'm a bit surprised you just saw it. Additionally, it's been in our newsletter, Facebook, Google+, & Twitter.

        • OK, I'll pay more attention to the sidebar from now on. I guess I'm just too focussed on the deals!

          I doubt I could have outdone the other awesome entries!

      • maybe you can still make one and post it.. Just for our viewing pleasure and feedbacks. Think of it as a practice run for next year

  • +6

    The competition is now closed. I'm blown away by some of the creative videos submitted here. If OzBargain ever decides to advertise on TV, we know where to look.

    We'll have a discussion and pick the winners this week.
