Your World, Your Way – BBC users show off video skills

The BBC World Service is asking its users to submit short video documentaries about their lives and the places where they live. The beauty of the project – called MyWorld –  it is that there’s no need to use super-expensive specialist equipment – if there’s a good idea, a strong personality and a story to tell, it can shine through, even if the piece is shot using the camera on a mobile phone or a borrowed camcorder. All you have to do is get everything you want to say into two minutes. There are entries from all over the world on all kinds of subjects, such as Michael Schmacke’s one-minute piece about the Berlin Wall, and how some people in the city miss it now it’s gone.
