This does not need to be a high quality or expensive piece of video, it can be from camcorder, digital camera or mobile phone – just something that shows us your style and what you are planning. We recognise that dance and movement is difficult to describe in words, so this is aimed at helping both you and us understand what you are proposing. Either send by post, on dvd or mini-dv or vhs a short video (10 mins max) Or upload to You Tube (instructions below) • This can be an excerpt from rehearsal or performance – max 10mins • A video ‘pitch’ for the piece you would make demonstrating elements of your choreographic style. You Tube Instructions YouTube accepts a wide range of video file formats such as .WMV, .AVI, .MOV and .MPG transferred from most digital cameras, camcorders and mobile phones. If you don't think your current video file format is recognised by YouTube, you may get the best results by converting your file to MPEG4 video with MP3 audio. Make sure your video is less than 10 minutes long, smaller than 1 GB in size and in an acceptable format: 1. Go to www.youtube.com/turnmcr 2. Click the "’upload” link in the You Tube header bar 3. Sign-in with the username turnmcr, password: erprize1903 4. Enter as much information about your video as possible, including Title, Description, Tags and Category. 5. Determine if you want your video set to Public or Private. 6. Click the "Upload a Video..." button. 7. In the next window, click the "Browse" button to browse for the video file on your computer. Select the file you want to upload. 8. Click the "Upload Video" button. Turn takes place 19-21 March 2009. Deadline:12 December 2008. Please return to: [email protected]

It can take from a couple of minutes to an hour for your video to upload to YouTube. If you receive an error message when uploading, you should ensure that you're attempting to upload a file type that's recognised by YouTube. YouTube accepts video files from most digital cameras, camcorders and mobile phones in the .AVI, .MOV, .WMV and .MPG file formats.
