We are going to run this challenge until 10:00 PM PST and ask that a link to your video is emailed to [email protected] with the subject line, The Kraken. Please include the name you’d like used if you are selected as a winner.
Your prize for this challenge is the massive collection of Pocket Games!
Get Dancing!
If you have been watching Desert Bus for Hope the last couple of years, you might have noticed how fast videos go up on Youtube. If you thought that there were little internet elves working away to get you the third “Africa” rendition that you missed, you’re not all wrong. The Video Strike Team, or VST, is a group of off site volunteers that work diligently throughout the run to keep a record of what events have happened, grab the video footage, and upload and edit the video for everyone’s viewing pleasure.
