11. Put it all together
• Try going frame-by-frame and matching
your pictures to your music or narration.
Make pictures pop up just as the music
rises to a crescendo
• Have other people critique your video and
give you advise
• Wait a few days and watch it again, did
you get everything in?
12. Upload
Steps for uploading your video:

AVI, MOV, or MPEG)

most visibility

YouTube: www.youtube.com, MySpace:
www.myspace.com, you can upload to multiple
sites at once: www.tubemogul.com
13. Tell EVERYON You ever met!
Consider posting your video on your blog, website,
MySpace page, and so on. Then announce it to
your family and friends, your fellow writers, and
your readers. Invite them to link to or even post
your video on their blogs and websites.
Encourage them to share the link on e-mail
loops, bulletin boards, and via private e-mails.
14. Keep in mind…
• Copyright laws are real and they are
important! Don’t use your fave pop tune
without getting permission first.
• Don’t use every single digital video option
(set things on fire, fade in and out, flash
things in rainbow strobe).
• Proof read, have friends proof read and
then proof read again!
