SHOOT Editors Name 15 Finalists and Want Your Opinion; Vote for the year's "Top Spot"

HOLLYWOOD, December 02, 2009 | SHOOT Publicity Wire | --- In a couple of weeks, the editors of SHOOT Magazine will select the "Top Spot of the Year." But first, we'd like to get your opinion. We have culled through some 50 pieces of work that earned SHOOT "Top Spot of the Week" status throughout 2009, narrowing the field down to 15 finalists from which to choose.

Take a minute to cast your vote in SHOOT Magazine's 2009 "Top Spot of the Year" poll at www.SHOOTonline.com/go/shootsurvey. The voting now ends midnight on the 15th of December. The SHOOT "Top Spot of the Year" winner will be published in SHOOT's December 18th SHOOT >e.dition and online at www.SHOOTonline.com.

Several are comedy-driven spots, including a smash hit on the Super Bowl and a viral piece in which a Russian accuses American programmers of stealing his hit TV show ideas. There are Emmy-nominated commercials as well as international gems that include a visual effects tour de force chronicling a mouse's quest for cheese, and a car model preview as seen through the eyes of a blind artist. There's a joyous ride introducing us to a new model of a hybrid automobile, and a cinema ad which pokes fun at egocentric filmmakers. But whatever the differences in these entries, this body of work shares an uncommon bond of great storytelling. And from this assortment, we'd like you, our readers, to chime in on what you regard as the best of the batch, the Top Spot of 2009.
