CALL FOR VIDEO SUBMISSIONS! (The deadline is 9 days away!!!)
To celebrate our congregation's 60th anniversary, we're creating a video featuring the children of Shir Chadash that will be played during the virtual Gala on January 31. We would love all of you to participate!
This is VERY easy (I promise!) and the end result will be SO much fun to watch!
Here’s all you have to do:
1) MAKE A SIGN. Have your child create a drawing or sign on posterboard or paper that says “I Love Shir Chadash!” or “Happy Birthday, Shir Chadash!” or “Mazel Tov!” or another phrase expressing well wishes to our beloved congregation, in big clear letters. (Or if it’s simpler, you can make a sign for your child to hold.)
2) PREPARE TO FILM A VIDEO. Have someone (a parent or sibling) be in charge of filming the video, OR set up your phone or laptop on a tripod or desk to film. Make sure the lighting's good and your child isn't in a shadow!
3) GET YOUR KID. Have your child stand in frame.
4) THROW THE MARKER. Have someone toss a marker to your child from off camera. The marker must appear on screen to be coming from the RIGHT.
5) CATCH THE MARKER. Your child will catch the marker, turn away from the camera, and pretend to draw something with the marker.
6) HOLD UP THE SIGN. Your child will turn back to face the camera and hold up their art.
7) THROW THE MARKER. After a few seconds displaying their art to the camera, they will toss the marker in the opposite direction from where they caught it, so it appears on screen to be thrown to the LEFT.
To get an idea of what the effect will be when all the videos are edited together, watch this:
No speaking necessary! The final product will have music playing over the video, so you don't need to worry about dialogue or background noise. Baby crying or dog barking in the background? No problem, no one will hear it!
Thank you so much for being a part of this project, and for helping to make our 60th Anniversary Gala extra special.
