A note on movies: Delivering an animation or film piece that meets the 10MB requirement is challenging Below are some tips.

  1. Compress your video in the program of your choice (AfterEffects, Premiere, etc.). I recommend Quicktime H.264.
  2. Reduce the width and height of the piece. 320 x 240 is about as small as you should go.
  3. If your piece doesn't need audio, don't render it with an audio track. If it needs audio but it doesn't need to be in stereo, use mono.
  4. If your piece doesn't need to be in color don't render it in color. 256 shades of gray take up far less space than millions of colors.
  5. Edit the piece down to include only your best work. These could be key shots from a piece, or maybe a 30 second segment from a longer film.
  6. Link to YouTube or Vimeo. This is acceptable, but keep in mind that you are relying on somebody else to make sure your content can be viewed. You are also encouraged to read the usage agreements for the individual sites. Please protect your rights as artists.
Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.
