The article is a few years old but all very valid information. I especially like...
It doesn’t matter how you capture the footage; just get it done. It could be from your homie, your girlfriend, your mom or babysitter; the quality doesn’t really matter. This is where professionals like Greg Hunt and Jon Holland will come into play. After getting put on any said company, it’s the job of the filmers and photographers to make you look good.Ain't that the truth. Don't let the fact that you can't make your video in IMAX stop you from making a video. Just Do It, to quote the shoe dudes. The object of your Sponsor Me Video is to get your foot in the door, so get it made and get it out there.
I want to add a couple of points specifically geared toward our Sponsor Me Skateboarding Videos gadget. First, when you upload a Sponsor Me Video to YouTube be sure and include the word "sponsor" to the title. This insures that we can find your diamond of a video among all the pieces of coal. The other suggestion is to include your town or state in the title. This helps get your video noticed by the sponsorship possibles in your local market. My perfect YouTube title would read something like - Joe "Fireplug" Jones, Flagstaff AZ Skater Sponsor Me Video. The first step to getting your video looked at is a good title so don't just call it Sponsor Me Vid or something else lame.
