We need YOU for our new Fun Palaces video!

PLEASE CAN YOU HELP US?
DOESN’T MATTER IF YOU ARE MAKING A FUN PALACE OR NOT – WE WANT YOU ALL!

We are collecting SHORT videos of Fun Palace makers and members of the public about their views on Fun Palaces. These will form part of a short film that will feature on the homepage of our website. We want to showcase the huge range of different people and activities taking part in Fun Palaces. We’d love YOU to be involved.

There are prizes to be had too! Three randomly chosen film-makers will receive a rather gorgeous Joan-themed gift.

The film can be made simply using your camera phone. We suggest filming it in a quiet location, perhaps somewhere that is relevant to your Fun Palace. Please make the film with your camera positioned horizontally A fairly close up shot of the face of the speaker will work best.

Please complete the following sentences (speaking the text below in full):

  • ‘The three words that best describe my Fun Palace are…”
  • ‘The thing I’d most like to see in my perfect Fun Palace is…because…”
  • “Arts and culture are important to me because…”

It isn’t necessary to complete all the sentences, just the ones that feel relevant to you. Because we are hoping to cut a number of videos together, please keep your response as brief as possible, and to just one sentence each.

There are two ways to submit your video to us…

If you’re a Fun Palace Maker and have access to your online profile page:

Please upload your video to Youtube and then post it as a status update on your Fun Palace page on the Fun Palaces website, from where we will download it to incorporate into our video. By posting this video you’ll be allowing us to download and use it. Visitors to the website will also be able to enjoy your video on its own when they visit your individual page.
