THE RIPPLE 2020
The Ripple has launched a YouTube channel this August and in just over a week has exceeded the magic target of 100 subscribers! It's being promoted by a poster campaign, local press and websites such as the Con Club, Union Music, StayLewes and many more. Help us out by subscribing to our channel right now using either of the buttons in the strip above. Thanks to everyone who's already done that. Let's hope it really is the start of something big!
We are looking for content submissions such as music videos or music based conversation films covering all genres. If you have a great track without visuals then it will need to have a decent photo or graphics montage to captivate the eye as well as the ear.
To kick things off we have archive films of previous Ripple events and have been filming a number of live acts in June and July at Starfish Studios under social distancing conditions. The intention is to keep developing the channel (along with its Facebook site) in order to create a platform for local performers/music makers and, hopefully, create a bridge to the point where we can return to live performances in public.
That’s why we need both your contributions and input. New films will be uploaded every week and all acts involved will be able to post links to their product, merch or website.
We are open to any other ideas you might have for content.
You can use any file-sharing/file-transfer system you like to submit your content to us - for example Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive or an online file transfer website such as WeTransfer (wetransfer.com), which works well and is free for transfers up to 2GB.
Please submit your content to the email address submitcontent @ lewesripple.uk but please don't email us with a massive file attachment - it would undoubtedly fail and/or cause all sorts of problems! If you're sending us a link of some sort, for example to a video you've made public or already uploaded to YouTube, please include it in an email to submitcontent @ lewesripple.uk along with any special instructions you might have.
Also, we'll be very grateful if you'll complete and submit the musicians' registration form below before submitting your content to us. It's important we know who you are and that you're happy with our privacy and copyright policies. It'll be helpful if you include in the notes field some info that will help us identify your upload and its contents - many thanks.
You probably already know that for video uploads YouTube supports AVI, FLV, MOV (QuickTime), MP4 and WMV plus a few other less well-known video formats, with recommended encoding settings for optimal conversion - H.264 video codec and AAC-LC audio codec with a sample rate of 48 kHz or 96 kHz.
Our preferred format for content uploads to The Ripple is 1080p (HD 16:9) .MP4 (or .MOV) encoded using H.264 and AAC. You get as close to that as you can and we'll do the rest.
