Here are some of our tips to help your video be a winner in our eyes:
- We love FUN. Highlight local area activities in your video. Show us what you do for fun while in Skagway.
- We love PEOPLE. We love seeing your favorite part of Skagway, but we love even more seeing your family and friends with you in Skagway.
- We love ACTION. Action shots are always the way to go. Just be sure to stabilize yourself so we can clearly see what’s going on in the video.
- We love SOUND/MUSIC, but…Please be mindful of the music you use in your video. Because of copyright laws, we cannot post videos with unauthorized music. Be sure to use royalty-free music. Many times, video editing programs such as iMovie provide audio that is copyright-free.
