CALL FOR ENTRIES: Sennheiser Launches New Ambeo Smart Headset Contest1 min read
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Sennheiser is running a fun international contest where you can win €10K in Sennheiser products by making a film with binaural audio.
Lights, smartphone, Ambeo Smart Headset, Action. We don’t normally highlight contests like this, but it’s not often audio is given the spotlight, and not just any audio, but immersive binaural audio. This is a particularly interesting move by Sennheiser to promote not only the headset, but the idea of making immersive audio a key driver of how a story is told.
We often get caught up in cameras, lenses and post, and forget that sound is a huge factor in any production. Binaural audio has been around for some time, but it’s never been particularly easy or straightforward. The Ambeo Smart Headset changes that, as it makes recording high quality true binaural spatial audio as easy as wearing headphones. Take a look at the film Final Stop, which Sennheiser has linked to as an example. Make sure you listen with headphones to get the immersive experience.
Now you have the chance to give it a try by submitting a one page rough storyboard for a short project where you plan to make sound a key component in telling the story. The first 300 submissions will get a Ambeo Smart Headset to create their film. After the films are made and uploaded, people will vote for their favourite.
