Hi and thanks for your interest in Shaw TV’s ‘MAKE IT HAPPEN.’ This is your chance to put a check mark beside an item on your personal bucket list within Western Canada. Show us your fun, enthusiastic personality and you could be on the show!

We want lots of energy and BIG SMILES!!! The most important thing is to have fun and relax. Your video should be about 5-10 minutes long – however long it takes you to tell us about yourself and your goal!

GENERAL INFO:

  1. Your video can be submitted two ways. Online- upload your video to the share portal in mpeg format OR Mail in your video in DVD format but make sure it arrives by May 31st 2012. Play the DVD before you mail it in to ensure that it works correctly.
  2. Wear something comfortable but don’t be afraid to dress up a little – we want to see your true sense of style and who you are. Avoid hats and sunglasses.
  3. Try and use a consumer grade camera. Avoid using your cell phone to record video.
  4. Shoot your video outside! Take us on a tour of where you live or introduce us to your co-workers! What’s your favorite hobby? Show us what you do in your spare time.
  5. If you’re inside, ensure the room is well lit. Don’t stand in front of a window.
  6. Try and record yourself in a quiet space. Background noise will be distracting.
  7. Check your framing – we’re looking for a medium shot which is from just below the waist to just above the head. Ask someone to help run the camera!
  8. Get CREATIVE! The more your video stands out from the crowd the better your shot is at being selected to be on the show!

  • Introduce yourself; tell us your name, age and what you do for a living.
