SCRIPT (click to open)

For food security advocacy:
1 in 5 children in Central Florida go to bed hungry.
Federal programs exist to end hunger.
We need to raise our voices consistently to implement what already exists.
I can’t do this on my own.
Will you be a mobilized agent with me?

Environment
Caring for the environment is caring for our most vulnerable… locally and globally.
I believe we are all stewards of God’s creation.
I participated in a youth mission experience cleaning beaches and restoring mangroves.
I can’t do this on my own.
Will you be a mobilized agent with me?

Advocacy
Most of us have access to clean water. All of us do not.
Yet all of us can sign a petition advocating for Clean Water.
I can’t do this on my own.
Will you be a mobilized agent with me?

DEI
Diversity –
Equity –
Inclusion –
I can’t do this on my own.
Will you be a mobilized agent with me?

General Instructions and Guidelines

Every project will be a little different! These are the things we want you to keep in mind in a general sense.
FOR MUSIC: Please use 2 devices — 1 with earbuds or headphones to listen to the accompaniment track, and 1 to record your video. If possible, we highly recommend that you use headphones or earbuds to listen to the accompaniment track so that you are recording JUST your voice.
Please shoot video horizontally (sideways). Just think about what your TV looks like.
Once you are situated and hit record, count to 5 (quietly, in your head) before starting. Do the same thing for the end of the video: finish what you’re saying, count to 5 (quietly, in your head) and then you can stop recording.
Please be close to your recording device for better audio and be in a quiet place.
Make sure there is enough light in the space you choose. Dark video becomes very grainy
If you are using your camera or phone to record yourself, use a tripod, if possible, to reduce video shake or prop it up somewhere if you don’t have a tripod.
Once your video has been recorded, you will need to upload the file to us. Visit st.lukes.org/submissions (you did that part already!) and find the link for your specific project.

**If you are inclined to do a bit of pre-editing, please do not add any fades at the beginning or end of your video, that is something our tech team will take care of.
