HHV’s Blaze Video (and YouTube Contest): It’s on

Historic Hudson Valley has freshly posted on YouTube a two-minute Blaze clip using footage that was shot last year. Take a look at it and let me know what you think.

Perhaps the video will inspire you to come to Blaze and create your own. Need more inspiration? How about the chance to win a 42-inch HD flat-screen plasma television, an HD DVD player, and a collection of classic Halloween movies? Yea, I thought so. Read on.

The Blaze YouTube Video Contest is open to all and it's free to enter. You need to visit Blaze once (or twice, thrice, whatever) during the first two weekends, either Oct. 5-7 or 11-14. Bring your video capturing device (even a high-tech cellphone might suffice) and, well, capture some video. Massage it in your favorite video editing software and upload it to YouTube by Wednesday, Oct. 17, at 6 p.m. Full details can be found by clicking here. Make sure, for example, you've got the tags right and that you focus on the contest's mission: capture the excitement and creativity of Blaze.

Oh, and make sure you leave your tripod at home. Part of the fun is trying to capture good scenes without skewering other people's feet (or your own).

Examples of contest entries will be posted here as they propagate YouTube. So even if you don't win you'll get the chance to have your work viewed (and perhaps reviewed, perhaps even kindly) by legions of rabid Blaze Bloggers.

Stills are great

Kristie: Great question. Using photo stills exclusively is totally acceptable. You can also mix and match photo and video.
