We are looking for videos of kids asking questions for new episodes. Does your child have a question for the StoryBots? Just send us a clip. No fancy equipment is required: simply use the video camera on your mobile device to film a short clip of your child asking their question, and send it to submissions@storybots.com by September 15.
To increase your child’s odds of getting chosen for a video, please follow these guidelines:
- Shoot the video with your phone held horizontally, not up and down. Make sure that the video is landscape, not in portrait mode.
- Greet the StoryBots. Have your child start off by greeting the StoryBots. Before they ask the question, have them say, “Hi StoryBots. My name is ________.” Please do NOT use your last name. First names only!
- Get close to the camera. Shoot the video so that your child is looking directly in the camera and their face fills up as much of the screen as possible.
- Film in a bright area with little noise. It’s best to shoot the video in a bright environment without any background noise. Make sure there’s no TV or music on in the background. We need to be able to see and hear your child!
- Leave some extra footage. Film a few seconds before and after your child speaks, so the beginning and end of the video don’t get clipped too tight.
- Film only one child at a time. If you have multiple kids, please film separate videos (with different questions).
If your child’s video is selected, we will contact you for next steps and to sign our release form. We will NEVER use a submission without your permission, and submitting a video is subject to the terms of service and privacy policy on StoryBots.com.
Don’t forget: videos must be sent to submissions@storybots.com by September 15, 2016!
Thanks again for your interest!
