Pitch videos should be no longer than 3 minutes. Tell your story. What does it look/sounds/taste/feel like? If you think about it as a script, it shouldn’t be more than 2-3 pages. But scripts in VR take longer, maybe 2-3 minutes a page.
Content must be original, optioned, or public domain. If you’re unclear about what this means, send us an email or come to one of the launch events.
Ideas can be scary or dark or eerie or anything consistent with the Halloween season. However, content should be tasteful, and must be in compliance with all laws, regulations and policies governing content, taste, community reflection and diversity of voices including the Broadcasting Act, CRTC Best Practice Code, and other relevant Canadian codes pertaining to the nature of acceptable content.
