OPPORTUNITY: LEGO Creator | Seeking 10 Volunteers | Deadline Dec 24

[Black Six]

Kevin Hinkle recently shared the following with the LEGO Ambassadors:

PROJECT NAME:

LEGO Creator – Tips & Tricks Videos 1HY 2018

BRIEF:

Seeking 10 volunteers from the AFOL community to create 1-3 minutes of video content around 4 different LEGO Creator 3in1 products & accompanying build challenge:

1. March challenge: 31081 Modular Skate House
2. April challenge: 31076 Daredevil Stunt Plane
3. May challenge: 31072 Extreme Engines
4. June challenge: 31079 Sunshine Surfer Van
5. After building each “A” model the volunteer is challenged to build anything that comes to mind that may accompany / add-onto the model in a fun & creative way.

The starting point of the content should be the specified product in focus for each challenge – an existing LEGO Creator 3in1 product. In the video, the A model of the product should be shown followed by a personal creation that the fan would add to / accompany the model in a fun way. It can be something extra that is built to add to the set or a modification made with a cool building technique.

All videos should follow the Creator 3in1 spirit and use the LEGO Creator 3in1 elements for the builds.

The target audience for the content will be children aged 5-12 using the LEGO Life app, and the content will work as inspiration for kids who are looking to explore and expand their own building skills. In addition to LEGO Life, the content may also be featured on other LEGO owned channels such as social media. The volunteers will be credited as the creators of the videos whenever they are featured by the LEGO Group.

As there may be a need for signed release forms, only those aged 18+ will be eligible for this opportunity.

Here’s a few examples of the desired goal of the video as inspiration:
