TIPS
1. You may include a narrative if 1-2 paragraphs to place the film in context for the film selection committee, and to assist us in introducing the film.
2. Premier films will be considered more favorably than films which have previously been viewed by the public and/or published to the web, but you may wish to publish with password protection or hide from searches in order to share with ITN committee or others for feedback. This is encouraged.
3. Both video and audio quality may impact film selection. Video should be 1080p resolution to work best. Higher than that (4k, etc) can bog down the projector system and may cause glitches.
4. We are aiming for diversity of sport. Outdoor activities that are less frequently filmed will be looked upon favorably.
5. Use subtitles when sound quality is sub-standard or to compensate for wind noise. Please place these at the top of the screen rather than at bottom.
6. For technical assistance with the submissions process, contact ITN with technical questions WELL BEFORE the submission deadline.
