Submissions Information

Ealdormere at Home is always looking for people willing to appear as guests on our series, or to submit their own videos for possible inclusion. We are also accepting ideas for content.

You do not need to be a long time player to contribute.

We believe in diversity and inclusivity and are interested in having content and guests from across every spectrum present in our Society. We aim to be an inclusive space and want to hear from any and all perspectives present.

RECENT AND UPCOMING EVENTS

If you are running an upcoming event, we'd love to promote it; just send us a video telling folks what to expect! If you recently ran an event, class, etc, we would love to get a video from you detailing how things went!

CRY OF THE WOLF

If you want to record yourself performing for Cry of the Wolf it is preferable if the work is in the public domain. If you want to perform the work of another bard, will need to be able to contact the author to ask them for a permission statement. 

We also need permissions for musical arrangements. If the arrangement is not in the public domain, traditional, or done by you, we will need to know so we can properly credit them according to Canadian Copyright Law.

If you are recording a filk or contrafacta on a period song, you must still acquire permission from the artist if you are basing your filk on a modern musical arrangement. If your filk is based on a modern song, we will need to know so we can properly credit the author(s) and label(s) according to Canadian Copyright Law. 

(Check out this article for more information on filking and copyright issues in the SCA.)

WOLF CUB THEATRE

This series is written by the children of Ealdormere. 

Any parent can submit a story on behalf of their children. For each episode, our volunteers will be given a few lines from the story an without any context, they will then act out and record their scene! Volunteers can use slow-motion, or dolls, or puppets, or throw together quick costumes and act it out themselves.

Please remember that any submission featuring minors (under 18) must be accompanied by a permission statement from the minor(s)' legal guardian(s).

Submissions would be due a month from assignment, though the sooner everyone gets their short scenes in, the sooner we can edit and post the finished video!

GENERAL INFORMATION

Please try to record your videos in landscape format (sideways), be aware of background noise, and try to center yourself in the frame (we need space at the bottom of the screen for on-screen text). If possible, look at the camera of your recording device, not just at the screen. Videos can be of any length, though the shorter it is, the more likely viewers are to watch the whole thing.

Files can be transferred via email (if small enough), or Google Drive.

If you have questions, you can contact the producers via the Contact page.
