About Holiday Greetings
- Examples of previous Holiday Greeting Videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLunRBRz0-n88M_NbbkR4o7mRsxnMqF5Qu
- Our studio is located at Concord High School, 170 Warren St., Entrance D.
- Your set background will be curtain or green screen – please tell us your preference in advance (if you’ve signed up you’ve likely already completed this step!)
- If using green screen, DO NOT wear green!
- Recommended video length 30-45 seconds (but there is no specific requirement)
- There will be time for multiple “takes” if necessary, but we can’t give you more than your booked 15 minutes of time.
- NO MORE THAN 8 PARTICIPANTS PER ORGANIZATION due to studio size limitations, audio challenges, and limited parking spots.
- Props are OK as long as they do not slow down our production due to set-up time
- You can have 2 lines of text as a lower-third
- EMAIL SCRIPT AND LOWER 3RD TEXT TO CONCORDTV STAFF 24 HOURS IN ADVANCE
- Your script can have one speaker or multiples but we recommend practicing ahead of time if you have multiple people speaking
- We want to re-emphasize that ConcordTV is located at Concord High School, a tobacco-free and alcohol-free campus
- Our staff will meet you at Entrance D of Concord High School. Doors are typically kept locked for security purposes so if you don’t see our staff please call 603-226-8872 to let us know you’ve arrived.
- There is visitor parking in a lot adjacent to Westborne Rd., and street parking on Warren St, both of which are a short walk from Entrance D. Please avoid using the Fruit St. side of the building (so if you see a CRTC sign you’re on the wrong side of the building!)
- If you’ll be here with a large group it’s not a bad idea to carpool, just in case parking spots are limited.
- All finished videos will end up in a playlist on ConcordTV’s YouTube page that you are welcome to share, embed, and use anywhere you’d like. They will also air on ConcordTV local public access channel.
- We will also put all completed Holiday Greetings in a shared Google Drive folder for you to download and use on your own social media
- There will be no opportunities for edits unless there is a technical mistake on ConcordTV’s part (i.e. spelling mistake or significant editing error). If you don’t like your video you can ask to have it removed.
