The Kibosh for Reunion music video submissions starts (ends?) Monday August 22! So get your clips in on or before Monday! If you know someone who wants to do this — bug them! If you’ve been thinking about it – you should do it! All you need is a smartphone or a webcam. To everyone who’s already submitted a clip: THANK YOU!

Here are the guidelines:
Your clip should be 20 seconds long. Just make it the highest quality you can handle.
Take a normal 8×11 piece of paper (preferably blank) and write a message in black sharpie.  The message should answer the following question:

If you could send a message back in time to yourself at age 16, what would you say?

That’s all.  The message can be anything — just as long as you’re comfortable with making it public.

More Guidelines:

– Please make the videos 20 to 30 seconds long — the clips will display in the final product for about a quarter of that time, but 20 second clips will give us more flexibility during the editing process.

– Make sure there’s enough light that we can see your beautiful faces!

– Landscape orientation only, please (not portrait).

– Record in HD if you can, but it’s not necessary iPhones/Androids/Webcams, etc. work fine — just use the highest res and show your best side!

– Try to choose an interesting background. Maybe on the streetcar, or at a show or a party. Or anywhere. You can get another friend involved too, as long as we can see your smiling faces and your messages.

– Write your message in thick black marker on an 8.5″x11″ sheet of paper. Make sure the writing is nice and big, so people can read it.

– When you’re done, you can send the clip  (10 meg or smaller) to me as an attachment ex.po.dean (at sign) gmail (dot com).   Or you can send it to me via yousendit.com

or upload the video to the following FTP site:

ftp://ftp.filmhouserecordings.com/incoming

user name: anonymous

(no password)

Please rename the file with something useful (like your name) so that it’s not MVI_65764.avi or some junk like that.

If you know someone who likes the music and might be interested, please pass this along!
