You’ll be at a disadvantage, having missed a few days of voting already, but since the voting period is until March 15th we have no problem taking late entries.
I don’t think there is any inherent advantage to seeing people’s videos, as the contestants made some excellent videos even without any reference points.
If you’d like to submit a late entry, please try to have it completed and uploaded to YouTube in a timely fashion so that you still have a chance of competing for the prizes!
It’s a universal rule that virtually nobody a) likes the sound of their voice recorded and b) likes watching themselves on video.
I encourage you to still give it a shot. It seems like something you’re quite interested in doing, and it is the first video for several people in the contest
It might be better to give yourself talking points so that you’ve got a framework to guide you I notice that I’ll ramble on and on if I don’t have specific points to talk about. You can even go the route of Oscar, who recorded separate videos for separate topics in his video.
Videos are quite difficult to create, IMHO.
You need a concept, a script, a camera, a program to edit the video…
And after the recording you have the feeling that you don’t sound good enough or even don’t look good enough
Then you repeat everything, etc, etc …
I admire everybody who did a video for the contest, and some are very professional!
