Lend your voice to the TXMPA and help us save our Incentive Rebate Program!

 

We are creating a video that features USER GENERATED CONTENT from media production professionals all over the state. Our goal is to demonstrate the diverse economic impact our creative community has across Texas. Animation, Education, Film/Video, Video Game - these are all the industries in demand and we want to represent them all!  

 

Help us tell that story with visuals you provide from your iPhone, your professional camera, or on a GoPro underneath the water! If you're in the media industry at any level - Make-Up artists, PAs, Directors, Game coders - we want to receive clips from you - you doing your job - every aspect of content creation. We want to show the people behind-the-scenes, as well as the audience and end-users in front of the screens.

 

The PSA will highlight the crucial economic impact that the Media Production Industry has on the state of Texas. The incentive rebates benefit not just the companies that create the content, but businesses and freelancers that rely on our industry to keep it going.

 

Examples of shots we are looking for:

• Timelapses of sunrises/sets

• Shots of downtowns (small towns preferred!)

• City limits signs

• Behind the Scenes - we want to see people in the act of creating. Coding, filming, photography 

• People enjoying content - on any device, TV or computer

• A camera assistant prepping a camera

• A Make-up artist in action, helping an actor get prepared for their role

• Some friends gaming on their consoles

• An animator working in After Effects, or other program

• A gaming coder working on some code

• People in VR headsets enjoying some content

 

If your footage is shot on a phone, please make sure it's in landscape, or horizontal, orientation. Vertical video will be given a lower priority.  B-roll shots only. No testimonials to camera.
