A special request to all cosplayers

Description

Hi there everyone!
I've been editing a video called "Cosplay Mode", a large AMV/CMV project that's a tribute to the many talented cosplayers around the globe.

Unlike other Cosplay tributes, this project matches the Cosplay photos to the anime its based on, features a large variety of characters new and old throughout and, of course, gives full credit to everyone including their photographer(s) featured in it.

For special segments in the video I need many cosplayers to answer the following questions:
  - Why do you love to cosplay?
  - What is your favorite thing about cosplay?

Along with that, you have the option to give encouraging advice to others wanting to start the hobby.
This should be done in the form of a video message and is open to ANY cosplayers.

Not good at speaking English?  That's not a problem!
Say it in any language you want!
Just make sure to add English subtitles (preferred) or give a translation so I can make subtitles.



Final Deadline: Aug  16th
...............................................................

(Video Message Activity Rules)

● Video submissions should be in WIDESCREEN HD 720p, 1080p or close please.
Whatever resolution you send, make sure its good quality and don't overly compress it.
Note: Check the specs on your equipment if you aren't sure what its max recording resolution is.
Many phones and point and shoot digital cameras can record 720p video these days.
If using a phone, be sure to record in landscape (wide) mode instead of portrait (tall) mode.

● Videos should not have large black borders around them.

● Do not have any music in your recording and try to keep background noise to a minimum.
Its fine if you do your recording outside, but try to do it somewhere not too noisy.
Also, make sure your audio sounds clear and without any distortion.

● You can be silly, serious or anyway you like in your message.
There are no strict time restrictions, but since there will be many people In the project, keep the length reasonable.

The goal to aim for is to use no more than 20 seconds for each response.
For example:
- If you just answer one question, you should aim to use no more than 20 seconds.
- If you answer 1 question and give advice, then you should aim to use no more than 40 seconds.
- If you answer both questions and give advice, then you should aim for no more than 60 seconds.

Please note that your video will not be rejected if you go over that time, so if there is something you want to say and need to go over those time limits, that's fine.

● Try to keep your message PG or lower. (Try to stay family friendly with your message)

● Do NOT upload your recording to a streaming site like YouTube.
Use a service like Mediafire, Google Drive, Mega etc. and send the link to me in a message or email it to me at moonieamv@gmail.com
...............................................................

Extra Notes:

● Wearing cosplay is preferred but you have the choice to do your video in regular clothes also.

● Even though the main video is anime focused, you can wear any cosplay you want.

● Please have the camera stationary instead of someone holding it unless they can keep very still. (No shaky videos please)

● Do not add any watermarks, effects or transitions to your video. (This includes fading in/out)

● Don't feel the need to heavily compress your video.
I have no problem downloading large files so send your message to me in the best quality you can!

● Avoid having lots of “uhs” or “uhms” in your recording. If it helps, practice before you record.

● If you sign-up, please remember to record your message and do so in a reasonable amount of time.

● You don't have to introduce yourself at the start of your message, but its perfectly fine to do so if it makes it easier for you. Since intros take up time and there will be many cosplayers doing a message, I'll most likely end up just using your answer to the question(s) and advice if you give it. I'll have each cosplayer's name on the screen so viewers will know who they are during the message.

● This should go without saying but please show enthusiasm when doing your message.
Don't look bored or like you are being forced to do it.
Remember that this video will be seen by a lot of people so do your best everyone!
