Cinemania 2014

You are receiving this email because you have one or more teams registered to participate in the 2014 STLP Cinemania 48-hour video competition that is part of the STLP State Championship on Tuesday, April 22nd. This is the official release of video elements to Cinemania teams.
 
You’ll find the elements listed on the web site at 
http://kentuckycinemania.org/2014-elements-released-ready-set-go. On this page, you'll also find a sample scoring rubric that will be used by the judges.  Please give extra attention to the following details:
 
  • Video uploads to YouTube should be complete AND A LINK SUPPLIED VIA THE KENTUCKYCINEMANIA.ORG SITE (SEE PREVIOUS EMAIL) by 12 Noon ET (11AM CT) on Thursday, April 17th.
  • In final product to be judged, make sure not to ID any students names or school/ district names in any way (this should allow for anonymous judging). I've been told that some YouTube pages identify the team or school. As long as the video itself does not, we should be able to accommodate blind judging.
  • Once the video has been successfully posted to YouTube, use the ‘contact  or ‘contact us’ area of the kentuckycinemania.org web site – at  http://kentuckycinemania.org/contact– and submit an email to the web site by Thursday, April 17th at 12:00 PM (Noon) Eastern TimeDuring submission, put your name (as the sponsor) along with the school name in the “Name” field. Place your email address in the “email” field and, in the body of the message, include the YouTube link and a note that this is your official Cinemania 2014 video submission.
  • Use as many of the elements as you can!  It adds to the fun and ‘use of elements’ is a scoring factor for judges.
  • We plan to update http://kentuckycinemania.org during the day on Thursday the 17th to include acknowledgements of the videos confirmed as “received”. Watch the site and give us a little time to update the site with acknowledgement of your submission, but our goal is to use the site to inform you that you're "good to go" after submitting the YouTube link to your video.
  • Cinemania teams will use their own equipment.  We are providing no video equipment.
  • After judging is completed on Tuesday the 22nd, feel free to rename your YouTube submission to include your school name if you choose to do so.  We believe in anonymous judging, but students certainly like to share their work with others and the anonymity is of little importance after the videos are judged.
  • Watch for any additional details at the http://kentuckycinemania.org web site! 

With that, I’ll wish everyone good luck!  This competition is always a ton of fun and I wish we had some sort of award that could be given to every team.  Let me know if you have any questions.  Above all else…  turn your students loose to HAVE FUN with this project – we're big believers in "making stuff"!  Take care.
