As part of the trip requirements<\/a> (shared back in February 2018)<\/em>, all participants are required to make a 3-5 minute video about a portion of our adventure.\u00a0 This is a mandatory exercise, but also a fun one!\u00a0 The idea here is that the segment will be stitched together with the other segments and in the end we will have a video presentation for our entire trip.\u00a0 With that in mind, avoid fancy title sequences or intros\/outros and keep in mind that your segment will likely be somewhere in the middle.<\/p>\n

While music is welcome, please make sure you are only using music on public licence as our intention is to display the video publicly and do not want to violate copyright laws and such.<\/p>\n

While you don’t need to show yourself in your video, you do need to be the one doing all the talking.\u00a0 You can include other images, videos, etc, but all the talking in your video must be you.\u00a0 You will need to have researched your topic well enough to answer questions about the location, so don’t think of letting your parents do the work for you, lol!<\/p>\n

If you do not have access to video editing and\/or recording software, let us know and we can set you up.\u00a0 Just do all the research, collect the pictures, videos, music you want, and we can plan an evening at the church to put it all together.<\/p>\n

It is also acceptable to use a “Vlog” format and talk directly to the camera.\u00a0 Whatever you do, make it fun, interesting and informative.<\/p>\n

We would like to have at least a few done by our November Europe meeting, and most should be done by our December meeting.\u00a0 For those that love deadlines, we’ll say the deadline is mid-January, but you should really get it done well before that point.\u00a0 I have already seen one of the youth videos made for Kandersteg and it was good fun \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Surprise, surprise, we will be using the videos as a fundraiser as well as to build awareness of our awesome adventure.\u00a0 We will be showing the full video publicly for donations, and also offering it for sale (for friends, family, etc)<\/em> on DVD.\u00a0 Proceeds will be used to support everyone’s trip.<\/p>\n

Everyone’s chosen elements are below:<\/p>\n
