What is a loop video?

A loop video is a repeating video that loops around seamlessly from beginning to end. So you can watch it again and again and again…

In the case of the #GetInTheLoop challenge video, it needs to be between 7 and 30 seconds in length.

What does my loop video need to include?

To be eligible to enter the Artlist Academy #GetInTheLoop challenge, your loop video must include:

  •  The PNG from the Starter Kit.
  • Music from Artlist. If you’re not already an Artlist subscriber, you can use watermarked songs. Just sign up for a free trial account and dive in!
  • If you want to include video clips from Artgrid, go right ahead. If you’re not an Artgrid subscriber, just sign up for a free trial account and use watermarked clips.
  • There are also some free motion graphics and SFX included in the Starter Kit, which you are free to use, but it’s not compulsory.
  • Bonus points if you share a behind-the-scenes video of your loop video. 
  • Be sure to hashtag that with #GetInTheLoop.

But just as important as these technical specs, your loop video is all about improving your filmmaking skills. So it needs to showcase a technique based on lighting, sound design or VFX. For example, you might use gobos to create interesting backgrounds and textures across your scene. Or perhaps you will use some awesome SFX to increase the intensity of your visuals. Then again, you might choose to give your entire video a retro Super 8mm film look. The possibilities are almost endless, and these are just 3 suggestions for you to try. The Artlist Academy videos in these categories are chock-full of techniques for you to learn and try and are free for a limited time, so why not take a look?

How do I submit my loop video?

When you’re ready to share your loop video with the world:

  1. Post it to your Instagram or TikTok account with the hashtag #GetInTheLoop.
  2. Tag and mention @artlist.io and note the technique you’ve worked on in the video.
  3. If you made a behind-the-scenes video, share it in the same way with the same hashtag and mentions.

While you can submit a behind-the-scenes video of your loop, you’re only permitted to enter one loop video into the challenge. If you try to submit more than one loop, you’ll be disqualified.

When must I submit my video?

You have until August 22 to share your video, so get your creative thinking cap on!

Who is judging the challenge, and what are they looking for?

The judging panel will consist of members of the Artlist Creative Team. Your video can be about anything you want, provided it’s a loop between 7 and 30 seconds and showcases a lighting, sound design or VFX skill. The judges will be looking for something creative, original and high quality.

Get filming!

You’ve until August 22 to learn a cool new skill and share your loop video highlighting it. Have fun and good luck!
