Hey all.
So as you may have seen me mention elsewhere, we're starting a YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPwGCyg1Fg5CppTs2jxmBZQ) which will be dedicated to people answering our new 'DreadlockTruth tag' Q&A, the questions for which can be found below. I imagine most submissions will come from the FB page* but I thought I'd give people here the chance to submit one first.... at the very least I will do one, so we have a video to launch it with in the group.
All you have to do is record the video as you see fit and upload it. I'm thinking I will create a title sequence that will be on all the videos but I'll add that on my end and do any necessary editing. I've created an email account for video submissions (dreadlocktruthtag (at) gmail (dot) com), so you can use a free transfer service like wetransfer.com to send the video file to that account.
Please do NOT send any videos directly as email attachments to that account and try to keep to a reasonable file size if possible.
Anyway, here are the questions! No deadline so record when you can, send them to me and then we'll launch the channel when I have something to go with.
* I'm aware that the FB group is no longer connected to the 'DreadlockTruth' name but I thought it fit well for a Q&A title and I'll link to the forum in all video descriptions so it might be a way to get more traffic via the group whilst keeping that distance.
EDIT: Here's our first video to give people a taste:
