If you think of any other topics, just tell me so I can approve or not.

You can either bring personal pictures on a flash drive or email them to yourself or me OR you can just find pictures on Google if you aren't doing a personal video.

Requirements:

1. You MUST have at least 20 photos. (The MORE photos you have, the longer and better your video will be. If you want it to last through a whole song, there need to be at least 50-70 photos.)

2. You MAY have video clips if you like, but not required.

3. EACH photo MUST have a caption. It can be funny, it can explain the photo, or it can be a quote.

4. You must have an intro logo and text (beginning)

5. You must have an outro logo and text (end)

6. You must have music. You can choose their music or you can use your own song. I can download one for you like we did for our music videos. If you want me to do this, write down the song and the artist and your name on a piece of paper and give it to me. IT MUST BE CLEAN.
