action: record 5sec video for #StandWithBearsEars

[alexseanchai]

Utah Diné Bikéyah on Facebook are working on a music video. They want a lot of USAians to send in five-second clips of video in support of protecting natural resources:

Have you ever wanted to be in a music video? Do you want to make a difference? Here is your chance. You can be part of our visually stunning music video and stand with those protecting our shared American history. Instructions on how to participate are below. #StandWithBearsEars

Instructions:
1) Take a few minutes to make a sign which clearly reads “Our Land.”
2) Have someone film you holding this sign and looking straight into the camera. Try your best not to move or blink. Stare at the camera like you are staring down Donald Trump. Like you mean it! We only need 5 seconds of footage and if necessary you can film yourself. This can be done on a phone or computer. If filming on your phone please orient it horizontally.
3) Email the footage to ourland27@gmail.com by no later than end of day on Thursday, January 11th.

Mine looks like this:

Yes, that pole there is part of my apartment balcony. I was out in the cold for maybe thirty seconds altogether. (But it's a nicer background than my bedroom!) Counting time to get bundled up and bundled back down again, this was probably a five-minute endeavor. I'm sure it'll look better if someone who isn't in the video holds the phone to do the recording, though!
