All in all, I think it's a challenge any reasonable contender for the Chairman's Award shouldn't have much trouble with.

Actually, this can be quite an opportunity.

If nothing else, put photos in a slide show and do a music/voice over. No video camera required. The video can't be over 3 minutes. A one minute video would qualify, wouldn't it? Here are some examples we made for our underwater competition. Note: no video camera was used:

NURC mission 2008
NURC mission 2009

or think big...
Contact a local TV station or cameraman or producer or an ad agency or someone in the movie industry... That would be super cool and it would certainly be an example of how a Chairman's team is involving the community!

There are tons of parents who video their kids. They may not want to "lend" the camera out, but they may be willing to "help" produce and mentor you.

How about an animated video?

Maybe piecing together some public domain videos or footage from past games?

Hmm, can we use material from FIRST promos? Since it is copyrighted by FIRST, I would think it would be OK to use their footage to make a video for their use. (I'm not a lawyer so my opinion doesn't mean much)

The best part is that the Chairman's video sub team has a real job to do NOW and can be finished before Christmas!

Since the DVD has to be submitted (but not judged?) have fun and be creative. Maybe we can post our videos on Youtube and we can have an unofficial FIRST Oscar award?
