Upload Your Blizzard Footage for My Music Video!

I’m making a music video and need your help! All Is Sideways is the title track of my upcoming album. It’s a song about trying to get home in a blinding snowstorm. I want the music video to be extra special by including footage you submit. If your footage is used in the final cut, you’ll get a “thank you” in the video credits.

I’m looking for raw video that helps tell the story. Do you have video that capture ideas like disorienting and blowing snow, lonely winter nights, and the difficulty of traveling in bad weather? We’ve had lots of terrible wintery days lately and I’m sure that some of you caught bits of that on video. If so, please submit your footage via the methods below. Thank you!

Guidelines for Video Submission

The following items are important to read before uploading your video.

1. Original Content Only! I can only accept videos for which you own the copyright. Please do not upload video created by someone else. Neither of us need the legal hassles of copyright infringement. By submitting your video, you agree to allow me to use it in whatever way I choose (…which is to make it into to the world’s best music video evah!).
2. Bigger Is Better. Everyone loves HD video. There are so many good cameras available now. I’m hoping you can provide crisp, clean hi-res video. HD isn’t necessary, but it would be nice.
3. Raw Like Sushi. Please avoid treating the footage with a bunch of filters/effects. Just trim your video for length and submit. Everything will fit together better this way.
4. Keep It Short! Clips should be short and sweet (under 1 minute). No need for multiple gigabyte videos. We’re making a 4 minute video, not an epic Lord of the Rings film.
5. ZIP it! Before uploading, compress your video into a ZIP file. The file size limit is 100MB. For reference: the video embedded above clocks in at 59 seconds. The HD file I uploaded to YouTube was 79.2MB.
6. Be Relevant Make sure your video has something to do with the topics of snow, travel, night, and home. Videos of you playing volleyball on the beach will just make me wish I was on vacation and then I’ll get nothing done.
