Create REEL IMPRESSIONS at the 2009 NAB Show

The NAB Show and Reel-Exchange.com present REEL IMPRESSIONS 2009—a joint partnership to showcase the projects created by industry professionals using products they’ve seen or purchased as a result of attending the NAB Show. REEL IMPRESSIONS could show your reel in a big way—on a 24ft. silver screen in a
state-of-the-art 300-seat digital theater in the Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center during the 2009 NAB Show.

After a successful debut last year, REEL IMPRESSIONS 2009 will feature four different showcases: Cinematography, Editing/Visual Effects, Animation, and Student Work.

More than 100,000 attendees from 167 countries will have the opportunity to see the incredible shots, cuts, and creations you have produced. REEL IMPRESSIONS is open to all content creators who work with tools they purchased or were influenced to purchase at the NAB Show.

Submitted videos will be posted and promoted on nabshow.com, reel-exchange.com, and after the show at nab365.com.

Follow the simple submission guidelines and your work could be credited and displayed at the 2009 NAB Show—the world's largest electronic media show covering the development, management, and delivery of professional video, audio, and filmed content across all mediums.

The REEL IMPRESSIONS Showcases will be presented Thursday, April 23, 2009 in the 2009 NAB Show Content Theater.
