Preferred formats for submissions are DV Cam, Digital Betacam or Beta SP. VHS is acceptable but the other formats assure higher quality. You may submit up to 2 minutes of "raw" video footage, which will ultimately be edited down by the GE video crew into a maximum total duration of 30 seconds for each team.

In addition, send Curt and Dan a cover letter that clearly identifies the start and stop points of the sequence or sequences you wish to have placed on the video, as well as any other detailed information to make sure your video is properly edited. Include in the cover letter any titles and project descriptions you would like to be overlaid on the video. Typically, teams prepare 3-4 "bullet points" for the before and after project descriptions that are faded on the screen during playback. Clearly identify which footage is the "before" situation and which footage is the "after" situation.

Any Company logos and static graphic images to be included in the video must be submitted in .GIF or .TIF format.

Send the cover letter and graphic images by email to Curt at:

curt.rossell@corporate.ge.com. If they are larger than 2MB, the GE email system may reject your submission. Burn large files to CD-ROM and include the CD with your video footage submission package.

PLEASE NOTE: THE VIDEO AND SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS MUST BE RECEIVED BY FEBRUARY 13, 2009

Technical questions can be addressed to Curt at 203-373-2612 or Dan at 203-373-3832.
