Well
it is true, and all we ask in return is that you film your life -
or at least some of it!
Anything goes, it doesn't matter who you are, what you do or how you
do it - as long as you film it!
You'll even have the final say in what gets screened here on bbc.co.uk/derby.
To
watch the Video Nation shorts you'll need Realplayer - more

What is Video Nation?
Video Nation started off in 1993. It
was a series of short films made by the public, which were screened
on BBC2.
Now
it's on the web and we're looking for people in Derbyshire to get
involved.
Your
videos will be shown on the web and will be added to a growing national
online archive of everyday life in Britain.
Tell
the world what you love, what you hate, what makes you laugh and
what makes you cry. Wash the car, watch telly, shout at the kids,
go to work, argue with your partner and kiss and make up.
Get things off your chest, comment on local issues and national
events. Show us your home, your family - you.

FAQs
Who edits the tapes?
We do, but you have overall control.
If
you are unhappy about a finished video, then it doesn't get shown.
That
way you are free to shoot first, decide later.
I've
never used a camcorder - does that matter?
No - and you don't have to be technically-minded either. We will
provide all the training and advice you need to film successfully.
What
will happen to my recordings?
Your tape may be edited into a short video and shown on the
website, once you've agreed the final version. If you change your
mind about a video later on, we'll take it down as soon as possible.
We use streaming technology, which means the videos can't be downloaded
or kept by users.
What's
in it for me?
It's an opportunity to share your views and experiences with others;
to talk directly to both local and national audiences and to add your
videos to the growing, online archive of everyday life.
Hear Carole
Gilligan, Video Nation Editor, talking about what happens if
you get involved in the Video Nation project.
