Video Nation

If you've got something interesting to say about life in Beds, Herts and Bucks then Video Nation could be just up your street.

We're looking for volunteers to make short two to three minutes personal videos to be shown here on the web as part of the BBC's Video Nation Project.

Subjects we want at the moment..

Currently we are looking for people who have stories to tell about these particular aspects of life:

People who have been affected by Alzheimer's disease, addiction, eating disorders or self harming.

Remembrance, commemorating the 90th anniversary of Armistice and its effects on people since then.

Youth culture - how the young are perceived by society and their peers.

My Media - how you use your TV / PC / mp3 player / mobile phone (or don't!) compared to the rest of your family and friends.

Fear of flying - are you affected by a fear of flight, or have you overcome it? We'd like you to share your experiences on camera.

But I've never used a camcorder before!

There's a huge scare-factor involved at the thought of just you, a camera and your story - but there's no need to worry and it really couldn't be easier to get involved.

You don't need a camcorder of your own or any previous experience of filming, and it doesn't matter what your age or circumstances are - we can give you all the help you need.

The Video Nation producers for Beds, Herts and Bucks will provide all the training and advice you need to shoot your film.

They'll then edit your work into a short video, around two minutes in duration, when it will then be streamed on this website - but you're in control.

If you're unhappy about a finished Video Nation short - we can work together to try and fix it. That way you are free to shoot first and decide later.

So how do I take part?

If you'd like to get involved with Video Nation, just fill in the form below and we'll be in touch.

Remember, by getting in touch now means you're just letting us know about your interest in the project.

If you change your mind after completing the form, it's not a problem and we'd just like to say thanks for expressing an interest.
