Fired Up Media

This year, the UNDP has asked Peace Child International to go further to involve youth on addressing Climate Change and we invite you to create 30 to 90 second videos on how climate change affects you and what you feel should be done about it.

There are three ways you can contribute:

1) If you have access to a camera and editing equipment, you can start the process of creating your video. They can be short, dramatic pieces, scripted and acted out by you and your friends; or a documentary cut together to make an impactive statement about what you feel to be a key aspect of climate change. Or a mix of the two. The finished videos should be uploaded to the Climate Change YouTube group.

2) If you have a camera, but no editing equipment, you can send us the footage, along with a script of how you would like it to be edited. We here at Peace Child will do the editing process depending on your concept and material of sufficient quality.

3) If you have no camera but a concept, write a script: we – and the UN – will review all of them and select the best 4-5 scripts, send you a camera to shoot it – and send your footage to us to edit the tape into a finished movie.

Please feel free to get in touch with Adam at media@peacechild.org if you do not have access to the equipment but want to contribute to the project.

You will be able to view all the videos on the Climate Change YouTube group (http://www.youtube.com/climatechange) comment on the videos and choose your favorites. The best 15-20 videos submitted will be edited into a single 30-minute show introduced by a celebrity host. It will be distributed by the UN to broadcasters around the world in time for International Youth Day – August 12th 2008.(more) Link.
