What format should I send you?
Please send your video file as an MP4 file. Please ensure it is less than 1GB in size. If not, we kindly ask you to compress it before sending.
When should we film?
This is entirely up to you! However, it must be shot at the earliest 3 days prior to us publishing the episode you are appearing on, so Monday of the same week you’re appearing in would be the earliest we ask you to film.
Ideally, we suggest you film your short video on Wednesday or Thursday morning (Thursday morning would be ideal, but remember you must send us your file by 1pm on the Thursday you are appearing on at the latest).
When do I need to send you the file by and how?
Please send us your file in order to ensure we receive it at the latest by 1pm (C.E.T.) on the Thursday your film is appearing on our Snow Report.
We cannot guarantee your appearance if we receive your file after 1pm (C.E.T.) on the Thursday of the Snow Report.
What should the film be like?
You do not need a professional TV set to do your weather video for us! In fact, we’d like your video to come across as friendly and informal as possible as we believe this will make our viewers feel closer to you.
You can shoot the film simply as selfie style video from a smart phone if you wish!
We’d prefer that you shoot it outdoors, and that you (a person from the Tourist Office) appears in the video (at least partially as a presentation), yet this is entirely up to you.
On the video, give a quick welcome to our viewers to your resort, tell them what the weather is like and what the outlook for the weekend is. Show live images of the weather conditions on the streets of your resort or however you prefer, such as from a snow covered field, an attraction at the resort, from a chairlift or on a ski slope… or mix up as many of these scenes as you want on your short video.
Have fun making the video. While we want to show the current weather conditions at your resort, what we really want is to make our viewers feel closer to you, welcome to your resort and for them to think how they really should visit your resort for their next holiday.
Is there a time limitation for my video?
Your film segment should last no longer than 3 minutes. We suggest a minimum of 1 minute. If your film is longer than 3 minutes in duration, we reserve the right to edit it in order to reduce its duration to 3 minutes.
What about the languages I film in?
Our Snow Report will be published ever Thursday evening in English, followed by a Spanish, French, German and Polish language version which will all be published between Thursday evening and the next day.
You can send us your video in just 1 language. However, if you wish, you are very welcome to send us a different video file in Spanish, French, German and/or Polish as well.
If you only send us 1 language, please speak in either your local language spoken at the resort, or in English.
If you use a language other than English on your video, we may ask you to send us a transcript of what you say so that we can translate it in order to subtitle your video in the languages we publish the Snow Report in.
Can we appear more frequently on the Snow Report?
Yes of course. Your first 4 appearances during the 2022/2023 season are free of charge.
If you would like to appear every week, or simply more often than just 4 times over the 5-month period of the season (23 episodes), contact us by email for a special quote. Each additional appearance will be charged from €50 per appearance. We are also happy to discuss other possibilities and pricing options with you.
Can I add an advertisement to the Snow Report?
For the 2022/2023 season, we offer a “sponsorship” appearance to just 1 resort per week that will appear at the end of the Snow Report. This must be a static publication, which can be designed by us or you. For the 2022/2023 season we continue our promise of reduced pricing, and this sponsorship can be obtained for as little as €100. Contact us to discuss!
I really want you to succeed, so is there any other way I can support you?
We’d love your help to succeed, as the objective of our success is your increased success!
In addition to appearing more frequently on our Snow Report or a “sponsorship” ad on 1 Report this season, we would be delighted to hear any ideas you may have.
