Tips for Making a Great Video

-Master the dance moves. Everything else is icing on the cake, so practice! practice! practice!
-Practice how you will use the camera. The camera becomes like another dancer in the performance. If you decide to make edits, cuts, and other angled shots, plan these out in advance so you get all the shots you need.
-Do more than one take. Even if you think you have it on the first try, coordinating with many dancers means opportunities for mistakes. So keep the camera rolling until you have lots of footage to work with.
-Use a tripod. This keeps the camera steady so your viewer doesn’t get sea sick.
-Turn up the lights! Make sure your dancers are well lit.
-Do something unique. Think of way to present your dancing that is different than anyone else. Creativity will score you major points with the judges.

Rules

-Winners will be selected on the following criteria: dance execution (50), creativity (25), and video quality (25).

Wisconsin Dairy News: Jump with Jill

DE PERE (WKOW) — Kids are jumping and pumping at Heritage Elementary School in De Pere. Kids are also being inspired to make healthy choices.

Performance and registered dietitian Jill Jayne packs a whole lot of nutrition into her long traveling stage show and she’s rolling it out to youngsters worldwide.

Now, enthusiasm is catching on in schools across Wisconsin. A recent stop at Heritage Elementary in De Pere brought the crowd to its feet, literally.

The Jump With Jill events get kids up and moving with catchy songs and fun movements. Catchy lyrics and cool dance moves prove more effective than simply stating facts. The strategy is empowering kids to make healthier choices.

You can moving with Jill at your school by logging on to www.jumpwithjill.com or join the Fuel Up to Play 60 charge by logging on to www.fueluptoplay60.com

The Play 60 Challenge Fitness Party is an interactive fitness event that rewarded approximately 360 students (3rd – 6th graders from ten Buffalo Public and two Orchard Park elementary schools) that participated in the Play 60 Challenge this school year.

The lucky students experienced interactive football games lead by Buffalo Bills players, a performance by Rock Star Nutritionist Jill Jayne (Jump With Jill), a healthy lunch sponsored by Tops Friendly Markets, and left with gift bags full of BlueCross BlueShield, Buffalo Bills and American Heart Association items to enjoy. Participating classrooms also received tickets for one student and one teacher to the Bills vs. the Titans game on December 4th and were recognized on the field for a special Play 60 Challenge pre-game ceremony.

The ‘Play 60’ Movement was created in response to the national decline of physical education programs and lack of physical activity for today’s youth. This national youth movement and awareness campaign is designed to promote physical fitness and healthy living to an increasingly inactive generation of children.

Bills players that attended the party and ran fitness stations included; George Wilson, Bryan Scott, C.J. Spiller, Marcell Dareus, Dwan Edwards, Brad Smith, Alex Carrington, Naaman Roosevelt, Mike Caussin, Mike Jasper, Garrison Sanborn and Tim Toone.

Enjoy the video from our day with the Detroit Lions at Ford Field. We kicked off the day with a professional session for FUTP60 student ambassadors, ran drills with Detroit Lions coaching staff, lunched, then closed the day by dancing to the Jump with Jill Beat of Our Body flashmob on the 50 yard line. Jill is on stage with current wide receiver Nate Burleson and Roary the Lion. On the sidelines, there’s retired players Luther Ellis and Herman Moore. On the field, there’s 400 teachers and students from Detroit schools. And yes, that is Beat of Our Body playing on the jumbotron at Ford Field!

From November 14 – 21, 2011, The Rockstar Nutritionist Jill Jayne performed her live nutrition rock concert, Jump with Jill, for seven Department of Defense schools in Southwest Germany. This interactive show teaches nutrition through music and movement. Jump with Jill is an innovative answer to childhood obesity prevention, formatted as a kid-appropriate rock ‘n roll concert with healthy eating and exercise messages.

“The show is a great way to establish healthy habits while the kids have a great time. They almost forget that they’re actually learning something,” says Jayne, a Registered Dietitian (RD) and accomplished musician. “Jump with Jill tours all over the United States and we are so excited to perform it for our service member’s families and communities.”
