Video contest question

[Hedy]

When the links are up on SR for Youtube, will they say whose video they are (Hedy or Heather F from MA?) or not.
Also, will the views only count from a registered Youtube member?

[SunshineGirl]

We will NOT post who made each video. However, you are free to tell your friends in this forum or otherwise which one is yours to drum up traffic.

That's a good question about the views. I'm actually not sure how YouTube does that. Does it register every view where it has the "Rating" and the "Views" under the video? Or is it only from registered members?

[JillyFish]

Has anyone entered yet? Will the entries be listed on the contest page so we can go look at them?

[SunshineGirl]

I actually found a plugin for our forum where I think we are going to be able to embed each of the videos right here for people to watch.

No entries yet!!!

[Hedy]

Anyone yet?

[Mom2aPrincess]

I'm planning to do one, but been sick right now and can't speak above a whisper (been that way for 4 days now)...I can't even do my expo video reviews!! If I can get over this mess soon though I'm going to give it a try.

[SunshineGirl]

I've received word that two are almost ready!

[sunshinemckenzie]

Just waiting on youtube to process mine. I might get lucky and have it to Tricia tonight...unless I chicken out:rotfl:

[dreamer13079]

I couldn't stand that there was only one video in the contest so I made up my own dorky one. :) Sunshinemckenzie, I really like yours! Very cool.

I just couldn't stand the thought of no one else entering so I gave it a go. :)

[Iteach]

How do you find your videos on youtube? I went, searched, but couldn't find any. I probably wasn't searching for the right thing. Any help? Thanks:)

Tricia has them listed on:
http://www.sunshinerewardsforum.com/showthread.php?t=4633

Plus if you go to youtube and type sunshine rewards or sunshine shopping they should come up. It depends on what is the targets that were listed. Plus when they were uploaded. Dreamer13079 might not show up for 12 hours. Sometimes it takes that long before it is searchable.

[dreamer13079]

My targets aren't showing up yet in the search. I hope they do soon. I submitted it to Tricia too so I think I just have to wait for her to add it to the page the next time that she signs on.

[SunshineGirl]

Got it!! So we have two entries now:

[ligrumpygirl]

I have it on PowerPoint but can't get it to video!!! All this work down the drain! If I put it into MovieMaker I will lose the motions...and it goes down to 55 seconds. Any experts out there??

I don't know how to tell you to do it, but you do still have a couple of hours. :) And I know that it IS possible. At least I think it is. Maybe try the YouTube help screens?

[ligrumpygirl]

OK I think I did it. Now I have to wait for it to finish and send the link...still have 1 hour 45 minutes!

[bs4free]

you can do it you can do it...

[MdCaterer]

Well, I downloaded mine but it is still processing. Took me FOREVER to figure out how to get it uploaded. Will post here when I get the info (hopefully) this is all greek to me. I have watched you tube but never uploaded before!

[MdCaterer]

By the way was there a specific category we were to upload these videos to? I did travel and events I think. I did use Sunshine in the name....

OK It is online here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zMKUY1Y1z8

MdCaterer,

That was simply adorable! I loved it!

[MdCaterer]

Thank you! It was my son's idea for the video. he was thrilled to be on youtube!! We had fun making it:sunshine:

[Anna]

Just waiting on youtube to process mine. I might get lucky and have it to Tricia tonight...unless I chicken out:rotfl:

Sunshinemckenzie yours is AWESOME! You should market SR for Tricia!!! You really put a lot of time and thought into your layout and songs. I am impressed! You rock! The others are good, but yours is amazing! Are you in marketing????? :cooldance:
I have watched it over and over! Good luck!

[dreamer13079]

I agree! That video is awesome! The first time I saw it I was like, there is no way I can even come close to that. The only reason I even submitted one is because there is no fun winning a contest when you are the only one that enters it. I am awed by your skills Sunshinemckenzie. You have my vote!! The other videos are great too! May we all bring more business to Sunshine Rewards because it RULES!!! :)

[Mom2aPrincess]

Oh..I never posted my link here...just on the SR website, but here it is if anyone wants to check it out...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EueL9dVYNL4

[sunshinemckenzie]

Thanks Anna and dreamer.

No, I don't work in marketing, just alot of fun, creativity, and work. :)

I worked nonstop trying to find the right images, adding things to those images and trying to get the words in the songs to match up with certain images. I spent three days from the time I got up until I went to bed (luckily Hubby can cook and clean) trying to get it where I wanted it.

Thanks for the views and watch it as much as you would like...lol. I appreciate the nice comments, views and votes.

[SunshineGirl]

Seven entries. YEA!!! And it is so cool that they are all so different!

[LisaNJ25]

Great job everyone!!1

[keishashadow]

WOW! talented & smart Sunshiners!:clap:

just a question, notice that one of the entrants posted a link on DIS CB

always wonder whats acceptable & not when it comes to soliciting votes from friends/acquaintances etc when it comes to these type of contests; know that several posts & warnings/points were given when asking for votes as to previous different contests...so confusing?

I know that they definitely come down on you if you post referrals. I've seen a lot of those "come vote for my son in the baby contest" links before and they seem okay. Maybe it depends which board over there you post on? Some of them seem to be pretty strict and others are a lot more laid back.

[keishashadow]

thanks tricia

know one of my "friends in the box" got slapped down for innocently posting a vote for my friend link in a national contest-guess it's all subject to interpretation?
