Trevor's film on London and Boris

Boris will be competing to be mayor against Ken L - I won't mention his name because that will draw attention to him.

Boris asked for films on London under two minutes and they had to show London, and mention at least one of Boris's achievements.

What does the winner get? Obviously the accolade of being the winner.

Also the chance of meeting Boris and making a film.

Four films were shortlisted.

All four shortlisted films are here: www.backboris2012.com/enter/vote and voting will be open until midday on Tuesday 20 December 2011.

From the professional or aspiring speaker/Toastmaster's point of view, Interestingly the first film was a speech, an ironic speech apparently in support of the opposition. I liked that. But it missed the opportunity to show anything of London.

The other three showed London.

Two had speeded up shots of crowds. One cleverly uses upright features such as lamp posts to separate one shot from the next. We liked that aspect. The last one has a well-written voice over which is in an Australian voice. I like a clear message. But maybe more varied voices.

Trevor's film - see for yourself. Has humour. Who is working late. At Buc ......?

Shots of bikes - mine or yours, taxis, the fast train, police and public, and mention of the voting date. Rather more subtle. The messages are in signs, which is good for the hard of hearing or if you watch it losing sound. Genuine sounds of London.

If Trevor gets the chance to make a real campaign video I'd like to see a shot of Boris speaking or riding a bike and the newspaper or TV report of him personally saving a Londoner from being attacked.

Thanks very much for your support and entries.
