How to Create a World Traveler Internship Application Video Without a Camera

It’s now February 23 and you’ve got about one week to finish your World Traveler Internship application.

Many of you have finished every aspect of your application EXCEPT your video. Remember, your application to become a World Traveler Intern is not complete without a video. SO GET FILMING.

But how can you create a video if you don’t own a camera?

Here are a few ideas on how to complete your World Traveler Internship application without a camera:

1. Borrow a Camera – If you don’t have your own camera, snag a friend’s iPhone or Flip camera. If you’re a student, visit your school’s Library, Journalism School or Film School and ask if you can use their camera or lab set-up to record your video.

2. Create a Photo Montage – If you’ve got a Mac, check out iPhoto to create a nice video montage of your travel pics. If you want to try something a little different or don’t have a Mac, check out Animoto.com, where you can upload your favorite photos and put them to music to create a great video.

3. Visit an Apple Store – Steal a page from iJustine and shoot a short application video in the Apple Store using a Webcam on one of the Macs.

4. Stop-Motion Photography
– If you’re a good photographer, consider trying your hand at stop-motion photography to create a short video. Just use a site like Animoto.com to put all of your photos together and upload the resulting video to YouTube.

5. Create a PowerPoint
– Create a PowerPoint presentation and use tools available on the Internet, search “powerpoint to youtube,” to convert it to a format accepted by YouTube.

None of these work for you? Then great creative – we’re sending two people on a trip around the world. It’s probably worth the extra effort.

Remember – the application deadline is March 2, so get your video done and submitted so you don’t miss your chance to travel the world on STA Travel’s dime.
