Creating Credits: Made in the Cloud 2011 Video Contest

Sources

Your video must have closing credits. Remember that the credits are not included in the 90-second limit for the instructional video, but should not themselves take longer than another 60 seconds.

Your credits should be a list of all the sources of your images, audio, and sound effects. For this contest, your material must be copyright friendly and taken from one of the following websites:

Music: Jamendo.com or Incompetech.com (the material on the Incompetech site was created by Kevin MacLeod, who has kindly given permission to students to use his material as part of contests for NextVista.org)

Sound Effects: the free section of PartnersinRhyme.com

Images: Flickr.com (must be Creative Commons licensed), commons.Wikimedia.org (we HIGHLY recommend you use search.creativecommons.org and choose the tab for either Flickr or Wikimedia Commons, as this simplifies getting copyright-friendly search results)

Citations

Your closing credits should be a list of all the sources of your images, audio, and sound effects. These sample citations should help you decide how to plan your credits, an essential part of any successful video.

Music: List the name of the piece, the artist, and the site from which it was downloaded. If the piece is one you created or recorded yourself, you must also provide a citation listing the software you used to create it. Follow these examples:

Sound Effects: List the name of the effect, artist, and site from which it was downloaded. If the effect is one you created or recorded yourself, you must also provide a citation listing the software you used to create it. Follow this example for citing what you use:

Images: List the name of the image, the name of the person who uploaded it, and the site. Note that the reason for going through the Creative Commons page is to insure that what you use will be copyright-friendly.
