Summer 2009

Mini Movies of Langley Park !

THE FRIENDS OF LANGLEY PARK ARE CHALLENGING everyone to take the winning “mini-movie” in Langley Park this summer. Enter your video clip before the end of September for your chance to win some fabulous prizes! So why not come and make the most of the sunshine, have a picnic, try the orienteering trail, get inspired and record some video in Langley Park. With wildlife and woodlands galore, it’s a great place to get creative with your camera, camcorder or mobile phone! You can make a mini-movie about anything in Langley Park, so feel free to use your imagination. Some ideas are:

sports ♦ wildlife ♦ Temple Gardens
riding ♦ restoration ♦ Arboretum
art ♦ water ♦ conservation/volunteering work
games ♦ orienteering ♦ or anything else you can think of!

This amateur competition is open to any age - children on school holidays, groups like Scouts or Guides, dog-walkers, users of the park - anyone and everyone.

The video clip, 30 seconds to 3 minutes long, should be uploaded to YouTube and the relevant URL link emailed to tansie.nicole@gmail.com. If you would like to edit your movie you may already have Windows Movie Maker, but if not try downloading free software from the internet.

Alternatively, go to the Videos page, register, and add your URL link from YouTube there.

For detailed help on how to upload to YouTube click here, for a downloadable Help Sheet click here, for further help email tansie.nicole@gmail.com.

Due to a lack of entries we have had to postpone this competition until next year, when we hope to re-run it. Thanks to those who did enter, and apologies.

(All video clips will be checked for appropriate content and removed if necessary.)

After many more votes and a very close competition, the final winner was Michael Dyson, who was presented with a bottle of wine and lovely box of chocolates at our AGM in May 2008. This is his winning photo:
