Dear BABA Fellows,
At the recently concluded BABA 9 held in Nara, Japan, Fellows discussed the idea of making a video for the survivors of the March 11 earthquake & tsunami here in Japan. Raja shared that Dr. Surin Pitsuan has organized a goodwill caravan of young people from ASEAN, including survivors of the 2004 tsunami to visit and perform at the evacuation centers. I recently shared with the BABA 9 group this very upbeat video of the new Kyushu shinkansen which was aired briefly but taken down after the March 11 disaster because people were in no mood to celebrate, but then has gone viral on the internet as the Japanese drew strength from the sheer joy, gratitude, celebration and affirmation in the video in the face of the crisis: http://www.youtube.com/user/shuku9wave. Which led to discussion of making a similar video but of people all over Asia, showing our love, support, prayers and encouragement... something like a train moving through Asia for Japan.
The goodwill caravan will be on June 3-5. As such we are targeting for the BABA video to be finished by May 31. Kate Lacson has volunteered to put the video together. We are working under a tight schedule and with limited resources. So here are the guidelines:
1. Take photos (.jpg file of at least 1 MB in resolution so that they will be very clear and crisp) of local people in your own country holding up signs with messages of support, love, prayers, encouragement for the survivors of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami and for the Japanese people in general. The more local the touch, the better (i.e. national costumes, photos set in famous/recognizable places or landmarks in your country). A mix of young and old people, individuals and groups are welcome. Feel free to be as creative as possible.
2. If you wish to take videos, please make sure they are short clips (no more than 30 seconds each) that are largely visual (not monologues of long messages) since the final video will be set to one music. If possible, please use .mov or .avi files for better resolution. For our deaf BABA Fellows, it would be great if you could sign some messages in short video clips.
3. We have some suggestions for the music, but if you have more suggestions, please email them to me at sherilyn3@gmail.com or Kate at kglacson333@gmail.com.
The success of this project depends on everyone's contribution and cooperation. If we don't get enough photos/video clips, we can't put a video together. So we look forward to everyone's enthusiasm for the project. Deadline for all photos and videos is May 16. We need time to put the video together and work on translations as well. Please submit them to Kate (and Kate only) at kglacson333@gmail.com with the subject line: "BABA video for Japan." It would be very very helpful to Kate who is very busy this month if BABA Fellows from the same country can coordinate with each other first and put all photos and video clips in one email instead of sending from several accounts.
Thank you very much and looking forward to our output!
Sincerely,
Sherilyn
