They love you; they'll vote for you, right? Don't have a facebook account? Don't worry, you can simply email us your vote and we'll add it to the online tally at the end of the contest. I have questions! How do I make a video review? These days most people have a video camera, or at least know someone to borrow one from. We suggest sitting down with your children and brainstorming ideas. Remember, there are no bad ideas when brainstorming (ok, there are some bad ideas). Once you've come up with a couple good ideas, see which one is most creative, exciting, and practical (if the video costs $1000 to make you might reconsider). Make a plan. Seriously. This will cut down on fussing and fighting as well as save time. Record your video. If you have a newer pc or mac you probably have built in video editing software. This can add extra flare but is not required. Finally, upload your video and send a link to videocontest@timberdoodle.com. This is very important. How do I post a video? We recommend either using your Facebook account, Youtube, Tangle(a family-safe version of youtube), or Homeschool View Tube. What if I don't own a camera? Many laptops have web cameras built in or a web camera can be purchased at your local mart for less than $20. Rather than seeing this as a limitation, use it to be creative. Sure you are tethered to a computer but what can you do with the lighting or background (make sure your video is bright enough to see)? What if I don't own a computer? This will make entering our video contest a little difficult. Find a friend, family member, or neighbor and see if you can trade some of your homemade bread for a little computer time. What if I don't have any family or friends? We are sorry because that is sad. Find a local church and plug in. Make friends. That is probably more important than entering our contest. What if I don't want to make a video? That is ok. You can still go to our facebook page and enjoy the many videos made by your fellow homeschoolers. What if I have a question you didn't answer? Call us toll-free at 800-478-0672 or email us at videocontest@timberdoodle.com.
