MARYLAND STATE POLICE PSA DECEMBER UPDATE:

To Enter your PSA in the comeptition see below:

SEE GUIDE file on the computer in the lobby of the Visual Media Lab where the students can submit their completed PSAs -

also posted NEXT to VML Lobby iMac.

Just a reminder: PSAs will be turned in TWO ways - High Quality Apple Pro-Res 422 .mov in this file in the lab, as a vimeo link. EMAIL your link to Dreiss@towson.edu

Another reminder: The committee said it would help them if they had unique titles that they could use to refer to each of the spots. These titles should help them identify each spot so that as they evaluate them, they won’t use the names of the creators in the judging. Please leave identifying information besides the title OFF of the Vimeo page.

However - in the .mov turned in to the VML they should include the last names of all creators.

We’ll also need to collect your submission forms and make sure they are filled out properly - standy by for that form.

DO NOT use copyrighted material and make sure spelling is all corrected!
