[B][SIZE=3]International Youth Film Project[/SIZE][/B]

Es selaam,

I came across this project as I am interested in the camera the sponsoring company makes.
The [B]GoPro Hero2 a Compact Solid State High Definition Camera[/B] that can be fixed to mountain bikes, surfboards, helmets of people who do a parachute jump, ....
In other words: the camera is aimed at capturing scenes (in HD) of action.

I don't know if many Muslims are engaged into such daring activities.
A reporter who has to ditch bullets might have good use of such a device attached to his/her helmet as well.
For now I have not seen any action shot of that kind though. It's up to the movie maker to put the device at good use.
Some people are just not in a position to risk their lives on a surfboard or hanging from a rock.
A running football player showing how to play together could be just the thing. Well, one won't see that player but very well everyone else, captured by a chest camera, on his/her way.

The [B]camera [/B]is not cheap: 300 Pound without much attributes. BUT.... the company is shipping for [B]free to anyone drafting a video project that gets accepted![/B]
Applications can be from anywhere in the world. So please forward this message.

As a clip explains on the web site there is a certain shooting format to be followed so in the end the best submissions can be edited into an action documentary.
Made by young people around the globe "in a new sense of unity". The submissions that will not be used in the documentary will find their place on a web site.
So, any submission will get an audience.

--- From the campaign web site ----
[B]Applications now open until 1st of April 2012![/B]
Early applications have a greater chance of getting cameras.
If you have your own GoPro Hero HD 2 camera, you can go ahead and start shooting now. Just let us know, thanks.
If you shoot with your own camera, the deadline for submitting your film is 31st of May 2012.

There are also plenty of clips made with this camera on [I]YouTube[/I] available.

I am not related whatsoever to this company. Just though [I]"Maybe someone in the Ummah can write a great draft project and could get such camera"[/I].

Please consider forwarding this email to people, Islamic schools and youth groups or forums and anywhere it might find interested people.

Wes selaam,
Ibrahim
