Can frozen yogurt make you and your friends dance? The winner of the national video contest, sponsored by Cefiore, thought it could.

Connor Hair, a recent Bellevue High School graduate, entered the recent video contest sponsored by the frozen yogurt shop Cefiore to highlight their new stores. He got permission to film at the local Bellevue store, located on Fourth Street, enlisted the help of his friends, spent hours creating a short commercial, added some special effects and sent it off to the Cefiore contest.

When he was just about to give up, he received an e-mail that he had won the contest from the Cefiore headquarters in Los Angeles. The short film was shown at their fan party in LA, and may be shown at each store as part of their promotions.

“I am very excited to use the prize money to upgrade my equipment to a Red Scarlet camera later in the year,” said Hair, a Kirkland resident.

The winning video can be viewed at www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlGorsUhuI4”. It is called “Cefiore – Light up your Day”.

Hair is attending The Seattle Film Institute to continue learning the art of filmmaking.
