http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/5/d/9/0/event_219983952.jpegVideo is taking over the internet (http://www.videoindustrynews.com/2012/03/14/the-growth-of-video-streaming-is-on-the-rise/). Fast. Nonprofits need to get in front of this trend now. Video can be complicated and expensive, but it doesn't have to be.

Join Net Tuesday this May for a licorice allsorts bag of video treats.

Top three nonprofit videos - what makes them awesome?
Siobhan Aspinall will share the sweetest nonprofit videos and lead a discussion of why they’re successful. This is video that will melt your face with its philanthropic awesomeness.

Popcorn Maker - annotating your videos
Do you remember Pop Up Video (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop-Up_Video), the snarky series that overlayed commentary on top of your favorite music videos? Well Mozilla has created a free tool that allows you to remix any video on the internet. Join Eli van der Giessen for a live demo.

3 ways to get your own video
How much time and money do you have for making a video? Is your message simple or complex? Whatever your answers, there’s an option that fits. Tiva will go over some affordable online tools for making your own videos, as well as what you get if you work with a professional for a fully customized video.
