Technical details and important information
Please use your name and location in your submission form but not in your video – your privacy matters!
Video length:
Keep your videos short, sharp and simple – 20 seconds to a maximum of 1.5 minutesFilming tips:
- Make sure you film in horizontal (landscape) mode.
- Film in a quiet, well lit place – if you can hear background noise, so can we
- Check how your video sounds – if you can’t hear yourself, then we won’t be able to hear you
- Keep your camera steady – get a friend or parent to help film, and/or use a tripod
- Try and avoid using the zoom function on your smart phone, it can interfere with video quality
Video format:
Please submit your video in MP4. If you have any technical questions, please contact us: support@guidesvic.org.au.
Keep it simple:
Please don’t edit your video, add watermarks or branding or do anything fancy – the simpler, the better.
Clothing, logos and brands
We care about what you have to say, not what you wear! That said, we do ask that you wear plain clothes without other brands or logos on them, or you can choose to wear your Girl Guide uniform if you are a current member.
Will all videos be included?
Unfortunately, we won’t be able to include every video that is submitted in the final project, but we will do our best to include as many different voices as possible!
