Submitting an idea for a video project is not much different
from submitting a manuscript for a book. The first requirement
is an outline describing as clearly as possible your idea
for the project. Since you are proposing the production
of a video, try to be as descriptive as possible concerning
the things you actually want to appear on the finished tape.
Descriptions of settings, locations, and any necessary sets
or props are especially helpful.
The second requirement is a brief video sample of what
you plan to feature in the finished video. This is analogous
to the sample chapters required for a manuscript proposal.
The sample should be a short demonstration highlighting
the significant aspects of the proposed project and should
feature you teaching or explaining as you would during the
actual production. It should be submitted on a DVD, DVD-R, VHS or Mini-DV
tape and need not be any more than 5-10 minutes in length.
Hand-held footage shot by a friend with a camcorder is perfectly
acceptable, and no editing or titling is necessary. We are
simply interested in how you or the featured subject of
the video actually appears on tape.
All materials related to video proposals should be addressed
directly to:
