STEP ONE: MAKE A 6 SECOND VIDEO, PLEASE USE VINE!

The easiest way to make a 6 second video for The Adafruit 6 second electronics film festival is to use Vine. If you don’t have an iOS device, no big deal – most everything can take 6 second videos and upload. With Vine and looping a 6 second video you can make cool videos that repeat what you’ve made that’s blinking, moving or making noise – get creative, and enter as often as you’d like. Make sure you do not use any copyrighted music, video, etc. This should be your cool project you are sharing, in 6 seconds.

STEP TWO: TAG THE VIDEO with #adafruit6secs

The most important thing is to tag the video with #adafruit6secs . We’ll be mostly using Twitter to find most of these, you can also send a link to your video via the contact form (do not email us video files!).

STEP THREE: POST TO TWITTER, G+, YOUTUBE, ETC.

Post your tagged 6 second video from Vine or on Youtube, Google+, Flickr, Twitter (Vine can post to Twitter) just make sure it’s easily searchable on those services by tagging it with #adafruit6secs .

STEP FOUR: THERE IS NO STEP 4!

That’s it!
