Welcome to Earth Star's Holosync Video Competition!

We are calling for Holosync participants to make short videos relating to the theme: 'Show us how Holosync has improved you life'. This is a great opportunity for you to share with each other (and the rest of the world) the benefits you've received from Holosync.


What You'll Need:

A video camera (or webcam), a YouTube account (it's easy and free to sign up... see 'Uploading Your Video' below) and you!

Suggestions for the videos:

• You could speak directly to the camera, telling us about…
  • Your meditation experiences
  • The challenges you’ve overcome
  • How Holosync has helped you
  • What you love about your life
  
  
• You could also find other ways to communicate these things…
  • Think about what you can shoot (your favourite meditation spot, some peaceful scenery, things and people in your life)
  • Consider how you could use music, camera movements, pictures, etc
    
    
• Your video could take the form of…
  • A testimonial
  • An interview
  • A short documentary
  • A purely visual communication
  • A TV-style commercial
  • A mixture of these
  • Whatever else you can think of!
    

If you’re interested in editing your video, most computers now come with editing software installed (like Windows Movie Maker for PCs and iMovie for Macs).

Uploading your video:

To enter this competition, you need to upload it to www.youtube.com. If you’ve never done this before, don't worry -- it's easy and free -- have a look at: http://www.google.com/support/youtube/?hl=en_US The ‘Your Videos’ section will be most helpful to you -- this will tell you all about recording your video and uploading it to YouTube. Alternatively, consult your nearest 10-year-old!

You'll need to sign up to YouTube to upload your video, but it's very easy and won't cost you anything.

Once you’ve uploaded your video, send its URL link to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

NB: Videos should be no longer than 3 minutes. When you upload your video, YouTube gives you the opportunity to write a description. Please put in the following text:

"Holosync Meditation
www.meditate.com.au"
PLUS a list of areas Holosync has helped you with (e.g. "depression, sleep problems, anxiety")

Judging:

After the deadline, we'll be giving everyone an opportunity to vote on their favourite, so stay tuned!
