How do I submit my video(s)?
Between 24 July and 31 July, just click the “Submit” tab on Life In A Day channel and upload the footage directly from your computer. The “Submit” tab will become visible on 24 July.

Does my video have to be documentary? Can it be fiction?
All we’re asking is for you to document your world over the course of a single day; we expect most videos to comprise documentary footage, but if you think that your world is best captured through fictional storytelling or even animation, it is entirely up to you.

Do I need permission to record other people in my video?
Yes, you do need permission to include other people in your video. If your video makes it through the first stage of our selection process, we will email you release forms which you must send back to us signed by anyone who appears in your video.

Can I use music?
Please avoid the use of music within your submission.

What do I need to know about recording sound?
It’s important to think about the audio on your video, as sound recording often affects the overall quality of a video. Good sound recording will probably increase the chance of your footage being chosen to be in the final film. If possible, it would be great to enhance your recording by using external microphones, in addition to those built in to most cameras.

When is the Sundance Film Festival?
The 2011 Sundance Film Festival will take place from 20 January to 30 January 2011. The premiere date of Life In A Day will be announced closer to the start of the festival.

It’s not just humans getting into the mix, either. Puppets and Monsters are sure to appear during the hour organized by Brian’s wife, a member of a local performance group called Thunderhag & the Thunderland Orchestra.

If you’re not able to make it downtown, or you’re house-bound, Brian will be Tweeting and Live-streaming pretty much every major (or minor) event during the week.

There are lots of watercolor drawings and slideshows with maps available on the City of Orlando’s website. They have a page with a few downloadable documents created that outline the gentrification of Parramore, creating lots of “party curb” streets (so drunk people don’t trip?), and making greater use of parks and public spaces. They also want to make sure the venues and other city buildings are “good neighbors”, whatever that means.

If you want to hear this BS in person, they’re having an event on Monday at City Hall. It seems to be open invite, so if you care about the future of downtown, make some time in your schedule for this.

Creative Village event March 22nd

If I’m allowed to videotape, the meeting will show up on our Watch Live page.

Does anyone know of an animation school in the Orlando area? A friend’s 16-year-old son is interested in pursuing animation as a career and is looking into classes he can take now as well as college programs for the future. If you have any insight, please pass it along.

Just doing a google search returned a bunch of crap, so I wanted to help this person out with information you could snack on:

UCF’s Visual Language program is top-notch. In Orlando, I wouldn’t recommend anything above the UCF School of Film and Digital Media. They also have a graduate program at the Florida Interactive Entertainment Academy (FIEA).

The Valencia Graphics program has some animation stuff as well. I blogged some students’ motion graphics projects at Orlando Video. I think high school students can take VCC classes before they graduate.

They offer some stuff like that at the Orlando Tech Center – it’s run by the Orange County Public Schools – right near the Amway Arena. They have a Computer Animation lab, a 3D printer, a motion capture stage, an Audio Recording studio and a TV studio. There are also several tech or vocational schools in Orlando (besides the OCPS), but I don’t have any information about one over the other.

Has anyone mentioned the DAVE School to you yet? They are/used to be located on the backlot of Universal Studios, but that has nothing to do with what they teach there, it’s just the space that they use. They are focused only on animation, and I think they take students of all ages.

And then there’s FullSail, of course (the school, not the beer). Little-known fact: most FullSail teachers were students from last year’s graduating class – the law of diminishing returns will have to catch up with them sometime. I’m not saying it’s impossible to get a good education there, but from what I understand, there are lots of folks at the school looking to get somewhere without really trying. If one works hard, a good education can be obtained despite the reputation an institution garners for itself.

If you in the blogosphere can think of any other programs of note, please leave them in the comments.

You get a ticket to all of the following:

Orlando Ballet
Orlando Museum of Art
Orlando Opera
Orlando Philharmonic
Orlando Shakespeare Theatre
Festival of Orchestras
SunTrust Broadway Across Orlando

Be ye photographers, videobloggers, people wanting to learn something about downtown Orlando? Are you interested in using your talents to showcase what the non-tourism-driven part of Orlando has to offer? The crew from OrlandoScene.TV will be taking the History Center's official walk of downtown, with dozens of historic stops all over the city. A link to the tour can be found on the always-atrocious downtownorlando.com

We are asking photographers to come with us on a photowalking expedition, because our video piece will be about the photowalking trend and Downtown Orlando will be our setting.

At the end of the day we will be attending "Improv en Espanol" at SAK Comedy Lab. If you're interested in snapping some photos there, it will be their first anniversary doing the show on Saturdays, and I know they will appreciate it.

If you have any questions, please direct them to [info orlandoscene.tv]

Infusion Tea (1600 Edgewater Dr) is a cafe and restaurant in the College Park section of Orlando. Ryan buys some tea - Cinnamon Ginger Spice, and he also checks out some of the products available at the Cottage Industry Cooperative store inside the store, where 19 local artists sell their products. There are gifts, stationery, baby clothes, pet toys, jewelery, ceramics, clothing, and wedding invitations from Amy Morelli’s 2ucollection.

Raffa and Rainer is an acoustic duet out of Miami, and they were performers in Orlando’s ELLA Music Fesitval in October 2007. In this video they tell Becky how they got together and a little about their weekly open mic at Churchill’s Pub in Miami. The ELLA (Elevate, Listen, Love, Apprieciate) festival was a celebration of female singer/songwriters and female fronted bands from Florida. Raffa and Rainer are just one of the 10 acts who performed at the ELLA Fest. Subscribe to OrlandoScene.TV to get updated when new videos are posted.

The first ever ELLA Music Festival took place at the Rogers Building in downtown Orlando in October 2007. The festival was a celebration of female singer/songwriters and female fronted bands.

In this video, one of the performers, Rachel Goodrich, turns the tables and interviews our host Becky for a change! We also get a sample of Rachel’s musical stylings in the background, recorded upstairs just minutes earlier.

This is just a tiny sample of what happened at the ELLA Fest. Subscribe to OrlandoScene.TV to get updated when new videos are posted.

This weekend Becky and Ryan will be attending and videotaping the 2007 E.L.L.A Music Festival at the Rogers Building (the old DMAC at Pine and Magnolia). The event starts at 7PM Friday and Saturday, October 5th & 6th.

These are the sort of events we really love. Local artists representing a niche, but with a message strong enough to reach a wide audience. Instead of waiting a few years for this event to gain popular acclaim, you can be part of the very first adventure by our friends at Gamble Records.

There will be some amazing female-fronted bands at this festival:

Friday October 5th The Actomatics, Geri X, Victoria Lynn Shultz, Channing Deren, Jenny K. Surrounded by Wolves Saturday October 6th Raffa and Rainer, Sunny, Jen Pumo, Rachel Goodrich, Holly Riggs

Tickets are $10/day or $18/two day in advance and $12.50/day or $20/two day at the door. A Portion of Proceeds will benefit: Florida School of Herbal Studies; Simple Living Institute; The Solilla School 4 Creative Kids. Tickets are available now at Dandelion CommuniTEA, Austin's Coffee and Park Ave. CD's.

47 E Robinson St is the location of the new B&S Daily Market. Ryan Price talks with Manny and Ben about freshly roasted Volcano Coffee from Longwood, FL as well as a selection of beers, wine, magazines, newspapers, drinks, cigarettes, snacks and other daily needs. B&S is a fantastic alternative for those seeking a less corporate cup of coffee and friendly service. Did I mention free Wi-Fi?

In this episode Becky talks to the owner of a College Park original, Taste. Tracy explains the Small Plate format and highlights her favorite dishes. After a look at some art as part of Doug Rhodehamel’s Fungus of the Stars, Becky got to sample some of Taste’s cuisine. Taste is located at 717 Smith St in College Park, just off Edgewater Dr.

As far as food and drink go, Taste has something for everyone - spanning several cuisines and providing for all appetites, I’d bet you you can take even the most particular person and get them to grumble a bit less. The food overall is aimed at someone who appreciates paying for quality ingredients, bringing the average bill to somewhere between $20 and $30 per person. Remember that you’re meant to share, like Tapas. There are 3 seating areas (4 if you count the stage) and the bar, including a few tables outside for those cool spring and fall evenings where you can’t help but sit outside.

We’ve been hearing good things about Taste on local radio and through word of mouth for a number of years now; one can’t mention the restaurant/venue/gallery without thinking “Fish Tacos”. Recently, we noticed a large number of events taking place or relocating to this hip College Park location, and we knew we needed to get a video out ASAP to help people looking for more info on the web get an idea of what they can expect at Taste.

Some of these events include the charity auction we mentioned in the show, Monday night comedy with Absent-Minded Improv (look for an upcoming video featuring AMI), Tuesday Hookah Night, Wednesday night acid jazz with the Absinthe Trio, and live music on the weekends with promotions by Will Walker of Will’s Pub.

We have some exciting stuff planned for release, like a piece about a new art gallery, an interview with the immortal Michael Winslow, a look at a local creative networking group, a profile about a local improv comedy night, even a long-running swing dance night in a most unlikely location. We are constantly looking for new events, groups and locations to promote, so we welcome your suggestions. Please send any information to < liberatr AT gmail DOT com >.

One of our hosts, John, is currently off on a 3-month tour of the Americas, which means he is currently in Colorado heading West. We will be checking in with John and his wife Kamrin soon, but if you can’t wait, check out FindingAmerica.TV for lots of video, live updates and their travel route on an interactive map.

Another contributor to the show, Mark, is currently in NYC auditioning for next season’s show-stopping productions. We might be hearing from Mark about some New York goings-on in addition to the regular Orlando fare, check back here for more developments in the future.

Of course, we can’t mention John and Mark without giving some love to Michelle and Becky. Michelle you know from the Film Slam episode, and we are taping Becky’s first episode this weekend. They are sharing their interests and favorite local spots with the production staff and planning new episodes, perhaps even as you read this.

Ryan, the producer, is hard at work editing and alternately scouting new locations and making connections all over town. He organizes a monthly Happy Hour called Florida Creatives that would be of particular interest to anyone watching this show. The event happens each third Monday of the month - check the website for details.

Every second Sunday of the month, John Theisen and Brian Feldman host a program of short films at the Enzian Theater in Maitland by Florida Filmmakers. Winners are picked by the audience to advance to the Brouhaha Grand Slam in December. Michelle joined us and got a chance to talk with the organizers at the event.

At the January FILMSLAM, 6 Florida films were featured:
Security Deposit - Erica Matyas
Since September - Christopher Zawadzki (3rd Place)
The Blue Moon Pull (PART I) - Young Kim
Aging Imaginations - Kirk Murray
A Man in the Attic - Ali Imran Zaidi (1st Place)
SPEAKEASY - E.R. Jess

The February and March FILMSLAM events were also a great time, we highly recommend going out and supporting local film to the tune of a $5 bill. If you want to find out more about people producing video and film locally, our other blog, Orlando Video, allows creatives in Orlando to send us links to their video on the web. We have featured E.R. Jess’ group, Feedbag Films, several times now.
