2nd Annual Video Extravaganza!

The Camera Club of Brevard’s August 5th program meeting will feature
Short Videos produced by our very own club members. To continue the
CCB’s effort for members to learn additional forms of photography, and to
explore all the capabilities of our digital cameras, the CCB will showcase
short videos created by our members during our August meeting.
To participate in this entertaining program, all members are invited to
submit their videos to the CCB. To submit your videos, see information
below.
Video Guidelines and how to send your video to the CCB
Videos should be up-to one minute in length
Videos can be one continuous scene, or multiple scenes
The CCB is looking for short videos… nothing fancy
You may send up-to 3 videos for the August meeting
Due date for videos is Friday, July 25th.
Include original audio in your video, or use music of your liking.
You will need to use a video editor to incorporate multiple scenes
and/or music in your video. To learn more about how to edit your video, review your
camera/phone manual or watch YouTube videos about editing videos.
It’s always nice to learn new things!
Send your video to the CCB in MP4 format at high-definition quality;
i.e. 1080, HD, High Definition, etc. Or, send your video to the CCB in
any format, and we will try to convert it to a MP4 file.
You will need to upload your video to WeTransfer. Videos will not
email due to their very large file size.
Here’s the link to WeTransfer https://wetransfer.com/
When you are in the WeTransfer site, use the CCB’s photos email
address photos@ccbrevard.com. Then, upload your video to
WeTransfer.
Richard Thomson will acknowledge your video was received.
