Arecibo Video Project – We need your help!

We are going to make a video for our track Arecibo and we want your help putting it together. Just like the Arecibo message that was broadcast into space in 1974 this video will be our own message compiled of photos you deem special enough to be a part.

So send us a photo of something that means something to you. It can be a place, person, pet… ANYTHING that constitutes a happy memory.

All of us at MINIONTV will be adding our own photo and we’re really looking forward to seeing yours.

There is no closing date yet to submit your photo. It might take us a while to get enough to make the video so please SHARE this to your friends, family, neighbours etc so we can really make it into something special!

Send your photo to areciboproject@miniontv.co.uk

A couple of notes:

  1. Please nothing sexual/obscene/etc etc etc
  2. If sending us a photo of someone, please make sure you have their permission. We wouldn’t want nasty emails later on asking us to remove them!
  3. We won’t name the photos in any way so you’ll be the only one who knows it’s yours

Thanks,

Stephen

Stephen: PJ Harvey – Let England Shake
Justin: The Chemical Brothers – Hannah (Soundtrack)
Barry:  Nero – Welcome Reality
Simon: The Joy Formidable - The Big Roar
Andy: Explosions in the Sky- Take Care, Take Care, Take Care
