Criminal Minds in 30 Seconds - Fan Contest
We are looking for the best dramatic or comedic interpretation of a member of the BAU. You may use costumes, props and/or dialogue from the show to give us your take on a favorite scene, put together a montage of your favorite moments, or offer us your take on the various idiosyncrasies that make each character unique.
Videos should be 30 seconds in length.
All submissions must be posted to youtube.com or vimeo.com, with a link and your submission info (name, age, location) posted in the comments section of the blog post labeled "Submissions."
A panel of judges from the show - including writers, actors and producers will select a Grand Prize winner and two runner-ups for special prizes.
What to do: Fan created videos featuring a dramatic or comedic interpretation of a member of the BAU.
The Fine Print: There are no technical specifications for the creation of the videos beyond the fact that they must be viewable on youtube or vimeo. They may be edited, set to music, silent, whatever. Just make sure they’re no more than 30 seconds. Profanity is not permitted and all videos must be suitable to a TV-PG audience. One entry per person and/or group.
Submitting: All submissions will be public. Please post a link to your video on this website, in the comments section of the post titled SUBMISSIONS.
Deadline: April 4th, 2012

DeletePshh i got this in the bag!
ReplyDeleteI'm not even doing it cause u seem too awesome!!
DeleteSame person writing as anon? I think so... should have waited a few minutes... might have been more convincing.
DeleteFantastic interactive way to get your fans involved, love the idea and have been having fun coming up with ideas of my own. Thanks for this awesome opportunity! :)
ReplyDeleteWhere do you submit?
ReplyDeleteI couln't sleep all last night! My brain is rushing! :D
ReplyDelete@kelsey Quinn, HAHA SAME! :D
ReplyDeleteI have one question for you... Do the videos have to be an interpretation of just ONE Character or can it be multiple?? Just checking because reading over the information and it says "best dramatic or comedic interpretation of a member of the BAU" and then "your take on the various idiosyncrasies that make each character unique" So I'm unsure as to if multiple would be okay, or you're just after one?! HELP?! :D Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteHello. Please provide your interpretation of one character. You may get your friends, family, fellow crime hunters to help you by being other characters, but we are looking for YOUR interpretation of one member of the BAU. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOkay, thanks for answering my question! :)
DeleteWow, this sounds fun! Great idea. Hmm, I wanna do an interpretation of Reid, but I'm a short Indian girl- so very different from him in every way, so I'll have to be really creative. Challenge accepted!
ReplyDeleteCan we write our own scenes?

ReplyDeleteAre we supposed to write our own scenes or can we pick a previous scene and do that?
ReplyDeleteYou said it could be set to music...are we allowed to use copyrighted music like a lot of YouTube vids, or does it have to be free-play (public domain) music?
ReplyDeletei love your question! i posted the same one on the submissions page! glad to know i'm not alone in my concerns :) thank you. cheers! ~AMG*
DeleteAmen! Those of us taking the time to make the best video we can for our beloveds would not want to have our submissions be removed before they can be seen by them. :D ;)
Deleteheather;
Deleteresearched the problem. if you use copyrighted material, you'll have to include disclaimers saying you lay no claim to the music and/or audio file and provide information and such about the true owners. that should cover you, but if it's too sketchy you might have to have a plan B. good luck! ~AMG*
THANK YOU!

I have a quick question, if the dialog, we are using from Criminal Minds and there is a swear word in it. Are we allowed to say it then, or do we bleep it out?
