Win an iPod Nano!!

OK, summer is on the way, and Marina and I have started video blogging (http://www.notesinspanish.com/category/live/) again (for the pure fun of it!)

What we would really like is for you guys to join in. So, we are going to give away an iPod Nano to the best Notes in Spanish video blogger of the month running from April 16th 2008 to May 16th 2008.

All you have to do is make one or more short video blogs and post them here in the forum in the "New Video Blogs 2008!" thread (http://www.notesfromspain.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5138). (Instructions here (http://www.notesfromspain.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4015) on how to post video in the forum).

You can make as many videos as you like but try to keep them under 4 minutes each. The Prize will be awarded for a mixture of reasons - fun value, experimentation, interest level, but NOT for the level of your Spanish. Anyone can join in, at any Spanish level.

On May 16th we'll ask you to help decide who has done the best video blog/blogs over the month, and that person will win the brand new iPod Nano.

That's all there is to it!

So once again, the rules are:

- Make one or a series of Video blogs before May 16th 2008, about anything to do with your life.
- Kudos will be given for fun value, experimentation, and interest level, (the level of your Spanish is not important).
- Videos should be under 4 minutes long if possible.
- Videos must be posted in the "New Video Blogs 2008!" thread. (http://www.notesfromspain.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5138)

Remember to check out and comment on others' videos, it's all part of the fun!

Remember Ben that you are now a semi-pro ;) (and you can actually speak Spanish) it may take a while for people to get their ideas together -maybe a bit longer is required.

I'm just missing the Doc Molly impetus everyone needs!! (And I don't know about semi-pro!!)

Edit: we have a new entry, from Graham! See the vlog post (http://www.notesfromspain.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5138)!

I was 90% done with making one and then my computer crashed and I lost everything. But I still have the source video files, I just gotta re-edit them and voice over them again

Since then I've just been having a hissy fit and might resume sometime this afternoon.
