• Have other people critique your video and give you advise
• Wait a few days and watch it again, did you get everything in?

Tell EVERYON You ever met!
Consider posting your video on your blog, website, MySpace page, and so on. Then announce it to your family and friends, your fellow writers, and your readers. Invite them to link to or even post your video on their blogs and websites. Encourage them to share the link on e-mail loops, bulletin boards, and via private e-mails.

Keep in mind…
• Copyright laws are real and they are important! Don’t use your fave pop tune without getting permission first.
• Don’t use every single digital video option (set things on fire, fade in and out, flash things in rainbow strobe).
• Proof read, have friends proof read and then proof read again!
