Running from June 15 through July 15, 2024 the world's leading visual research library of cinematic imagery, ShotDeck.com, presents an opportunity for creators to recreate an image from their favorite movie, series, music video, or commercial- using their own tools and ingenuity for a chance to win over $75,000 in prizes. From its inception, the contest has received hundreds of submissions from more than 150 countries across 6 continents.
It all began in 2020, at the start of the quarantine, when Oscar-nominated cinematographer Lawrence Sher, ASC and his wife, creative director Hema Patel, started to recreate famous movie shots from their home using just cell phones, household props and their family as actors. Under the hashtag #shotsinisolation, their images quickly went viral. In conjunction with the filmmaking research website ShotDeck.com, they established a contest where people from around the world could join in the fun by recreating their favorite movie frames as meticulously and creatively as possible.
