The following short article about a short film suggests an idea which might be valuable for RC.org. Suppose we produced a short video for You Tube ? . The suggestion is NOT an for an informal chat format film / video. The concept is : Full production values Professional level graphics Well conceived audio --music, sound effects, spoken voice Tightly scripted use of every minute of time Well conceived message highlighting what we consider to be ..the most important points about RC . We are not in a position to do this sort of thing at this time. We simply do not have the resources or expertise. Consider this as a "thought experiment." . Possible result : More focused marketing for RC Greater enthusiasm for RC A process that could lead to new discoveries about RC . . .

Just receievd this as an author of a OUP Very Short Introduction book (Humanism). Dear All As a Very Short Introductions author, I am writing to let you know of a large UK VSI competition in partnership with the Guardian newspaper. As part of a wider campaign to promote the series to students, this ‘Very Short Film’ competition carries an eye-catching £9,000 first prize, which will pay the winning student’s tuition fees for a year. Students will be asked to produce a one-minute film about a subject close to their hearts. From 1st October through to Christmas, the Guardian will be showcasing the competition and video entries on its recently launched Guardian Students site. The closing date is 31st December, with a live final in March 2013 to be held in London. More information can be found here: www.guardian.co.uk/students/veryshortfilm As many of you are lecturers, teachers, and professors in your fields, we felt it would be a good idea to inform as many of our VSI authors as possible so we can spread the word. This is a brilliant opportunity to promote the series, and the publicity surrounding the competition will be a great platform for the books. If you would like to support this exciting campaign, please do get in touch for further information. We can send you a link to add to your email signature and we also have some leaflets and posters available. -- Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community <[email protected]> Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism Radical Centrism website and blog: http://RadicalCentrism.org
