Be A ScoutVideo Short - Storyboards
The idea: Scouts Victoria is looking for you to create a video to help promote our new Be A Scout campaign. We’ve created the concept for the video- now all you need to do is cast it, film it and edit it together! The best versions of the video will be shown on our social channels and might even find their way onto TV. The stock photos we’ve used in the storyboards are just suggestions - you can frame your shots however works for you.
This video will be the first of many concepts that we’ll create to support Be A Scout. Look out for videos that feature opportunities to show off outdoor activities in the future.
The video short should aim to be under 30 seconds in length. If your video is selected for use, you may be asked to provide the raw source media, so please hang on to it! Some technical stuff: the video should be in 4K MPEG-4, Video Codec H.264, Audio Codec AAC at a bitrate of 128 kbps or better. When you’ve completed your masterpiece, upload the video into this Google Drive folder: https://bit.ly/3aInRNf and then email [email protected] to let us know you’ve made a submission (don’t forget to tell us the filename).
We hope you have lots of fun with this challenge!
