Appeal for Contributions to Hydrography Video
The Istituto Idrografico della Marina (IIM), the Hydrographic Office of Italy, has agreed to create a video clip for the IHO. This clip will be aimed at encouraging young people to consider a career in hydrography. IIM intends to begin editing and compiling the video clip in April next year. Accordingly, Member States and IHO stakeholders are requested to forward any potentially suitable materials to the IHO as soon as possible.
The new video clip will be similar in style and content to a video produced for the National Committee of the Hydrography Commission of Australia’s Surveying and Spatial Sciences Institute (SSSI) and will be created to relate to an international audience.
The initial storyboard for the proposed video clip is available in an annex to a Circular Letter of the IHO. It may be modified depending upon the material that becomes available. Member States and IHO Stakeholders with interests in encouraging young people to take up a career in hydrography are requested to forward suitable video footage and images to the secretariat of the IHO. The technical details and minimum standards for video and photo material are included with the storyboard.
The IIM already has produced two short, high-impact video clips to raise public awareness about hydrography. They were re-edited by the IIM to suit an international audience. The video clips run for under two minutes and include soundtracks in English (below), French, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese and Korean.
