Nikon Launches '8 Days with Z 8' Challenge for Content Creators
4 March 2024
Nikon has launched 8 Days with Z 8, a campaign spotlighting diverse visual storytellers who had adopted the Nikon Z 8.
To kick off the program, Nikon challenged eight filmmakers, DPs, videographers and content creators to "ideate, shoot, edit and submit a short film in eight days, inspired by one word -- authenticity," the company said.
The eight, with links to their Instagram handles, are:
- Ambria Cornelius
- Cam Mackey
- Cassidy Lynne
- Desire Lacap
- Joyce Charat
- Jesus Presinal
- Julian Bell
- Natalie Lynn
To tell their story, creators will use the Nikon Z 8 full-frame mirrorless camera featuring 8K 60p internal Raw video recording and a 45.7-megapixel BSI stacked sensor, as well as Nikon's latest Nikkor Z lenses.
Each week throughout March and April, Nikon will release a new creator film exclusively on the brand's YouTube channel. The participating creators, who were selected based on their talent and commitment to creating content, will also share behind-the-scenes content that gives viewers an inside look into their take on the challenge and their creative process for bringing their vision to life.
The preview of the challenge above is available at this playlist on NikonUSA's YouTube channels, which will be updated each week as the short films premiere. More information can be found in the press release here and you can keep up with the 8 Days with Z 8 challenge by following Nikon USA YouTube, Instagram and TikTok.
