Amanda I were invited to Mexico City last week to help launch a
videoblogging contest for the spanish speaking part of the word, on
behalf of Intel.
Out of everything I have ever been involved with so far, this is
probably the biggest, most exciting thing. I was a little nervous at
first about the idea of pairing a "contest" with "videoblogging" but
the main point to to bring awareness to the whole Spanish speaking
world about what is going on with this movement we are all involved in.
If you live in Mexico, and especially if you do not live in Mexico
City, getting a camera and a laptop is not quite as easy for as many
people. Even though we call these tools cheap, and have more leisure
time to pursue hobbies, etc, its just not the same there so its more
difficult to get people on board to start up the process. The winners
of the contest will receive equipment like a laptop, a camera and
free internet space. The judges include a famous Mexican film maker,
famous bloggers and a couple of other very cool industry experts, all
who have been fighting to raise awareness and help rise up the
mexican community into this space.
While we were there, through press conferences, MSM meetings, and
radio and newspaper interviews, we did our best to explain the main
point that this medium is very accessible and that now is a great
time to jump in and make an impact.
Pardon my overly idealistic intent, but I can't help but think
videoblogging is exactly what people in less privileged regions of
the world can use to rise up to more fair and equal ground. I wish I
spoke spanish and could do more to help promote it, so if you are
interested or find this important, please have a look at http://
intel.luzcamaraenter.com/ and pass on the info to anyone you know who
might find an avenue to get the word out. The name, luz, camara,
enter means, basically, lights, camera action.
