Each application must include a brief video of no more than 90 seconds that introduces you, your project, and why now is the ideal time for a Bellagio residency. Your video should not be professionally produced – an informal video created on a smartphone is expected.
Your video must adhere to the following guidelines, or else it will render your application ineligible:
- No more than 90 seconds in length;
- Must be in English or, if in another language, subtitled in English;
- Should not include images of identifiable children;
- Should not include copyrighted material (including, but not limited to, music) for which you do not have a license;
- Your video’s privacy settings should be set to “Unlisted” (not private).
The following are instructions for recording and uploading your video on YouTube:
- Record a video using your smartphone’s camera app
- Download and open the YouTube app
- Sign-in or create an account on YouTube
- In YouTube, select “Create” > “Upload a Video”
- Select your video and press “Next”
- Title your video: “Bellagio Center Residency Project – [your first and last name]”
- Set your video’s visibility to “Unlisted,” which will allow only those with the URL link to view your video (do not set to private or public)
- Select “Upload Video”
- Once your video is uploaded, select “Share,” then copy the URL and paste it into the space provided in your application.
