Project Description:
The City of Sequim is producing a tourism video to enhance the marketing program designed to bring more visitors to Sequim. The video is framed around the concept of “How Do You Say Sequim?” In addition to Sequim residents saying the word Sequim, there are seven descriptive words: Friendly, Sunny, Colorful, Wild, Adventure, Fun, and Delicious that are each followed by a segment of images that portray the word. The final video will be on the City’s tourism website www.visitsunnysequim.com, will be posted to YouTube, and also be made available to local associations and businesses who want to post it to their website or play it in their establishments. The video will be approximately four minutes in length.
The City of Sequim is looking for a qualified musician(s)/songwriter(s) to write and record an original piece of instrumental music to accompany the final edited video.
