Dick's Gadget Warehouse & How to Submit Your Viewer Video.

Strange -- I'm just posting this:

We've out of usable viewer gadget warehouse videos, so I'll do one of my own. Please see how to submit your videos below. We do joke on the show that we have no standards for videos, but we should be able to see what you're talking about, and hear what you're talking about. There are a couple of viewer video we didn't use because they're really dark, or the voice is barely audible. Thanks!

Then, just an hour or so before we record The Giz Wiz... with enough time to get it on the show, this email arrives!

 

Turns out Chris G. is moving and happens to get all his old electronics in one place. So wisely, he shoots a video of technology long past it's prime!

 

Here's Chris' email:

 

I found several generations of my mobile tech so I thought I would share a video with the gizwiz before I recycled it.

***********************

 

We’re looking for more Viewer Videos! We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show, so let’s go going! You’ll get an autographed copy of MAD Magazine and a 35-year-old Alfred E. Neuman picture if we show your video, and who knows, maybe you’ll be discovered by a YouTube Talent Agent!

 

Here’s what we’re looking for: Your home shot video – 2 to 3 minutes long, in any of the following categories:

 

I bought a piece of crap: Did you buy something you ended up hating? We won't get you a refund, but we might be able to give a platform to vent your disappointment. Remember, "family friendly" language applies.

 

I invented this! Did you invent something? (Or did a friend or relative invent something.) We can't market it for you, but we can help get the word out. Show us what it is, and how it works. Even if it's a prototype, you can get our (and the audience) reactions. No professional ads please.

 

My Gadget Warehouse: Okay, so you don't have a warehouse. It doesn't matter. Just tell us about your favorite old gadget(s). When and where you bought it, and why you're still hanging on to it.

 

My Favorite Gadget of All Time: Show us what it is, tell us what it does and why you love, or loved it! It can be a new gadget you just bought too.

 

Post them on YouTube and send us the link! We'll do the rest. (Or possibly nothing, but that's unlikely.) Remember, videos should be just 2 to 3 minutes long! Low production value is fine, but we should be able to hear you and see you! If we select and show your video on The Giz Wiz you’ll a tiny amount of fame (hopefully), an autographed MAD magazine and a 35-year-old Alfred E. Neuman picture. So that's one more (so-so) reason to send in your video!

 

All show submissions go to mail@gizwiz.tv. (NOTICE! This is a new email address!)
