I recently won a contest over at Tongal in a new format they’ve created. This contest was only open to pitches from the top 100 members of Tongal (based off of previous winnings). I was 42nd at the time I submitted my pitch but now I should jump up a couple spots. They haven’t announced [...]
After graduating VFS, I had a little extra time on my hands so I decided to learn a new skill. I saw the movie the Green Hornet a little while back and thought it was cool how he could spin the bottle caps off of a drink. While I can’t do it with a beer [...]
I’m at it again with another contest video and this is the sixth year Doritos has ran this competition and it is the most well-known and competitive contest all year! Why?

I recently submitted a video to a Zooppa.com contest for Universal Studios Hollywood who will be opening up a King Kong attraction this summer. They wanted a short film that showed the destruction in your town after King Kong came through (on his way to Universal Studios). To vote for this video go HERE. I called [...]
Here’s my entry into the 48 hour Cannes Young Lions Contest. To vote, click HERE, then click the “Vote” tab, and search “LucasRidley” to find my video, then click the thumb’s up button. Voting ends in 6 days! It’s a great concept of a contest: You only have 48 hours to make a video from [...]
I recently completed a contest entry for Pillsbury Crescent Rolls. Here’s a link to the contest site. There’s no voting for this one, but the winner is chosen by judges. I want to thank Ashley and Isaiah for letting me have their time and patience to make this, as well as, Angela and Jen for [...]
