Please read the following instructions carefully and submit your 25-second video for the Video Previews archive and Fast Forward conference session by August 15, 2019.
Video previews and fast forwards are a great opportunity to publicize your work or event to a wide audience. Video previews are accessible from the conference website on the VIS Vimeo channel prior to, during, and after the conference. At least one author for each accepted submission is required to present a 25-second preview of their work during a Fast Forward (FF) session held at the conference. The same 25-second video supports both purposes: it will be archivally available as a standalone video with audio track, and it will also be played during the FF session without the audio track while the author speaks. Voiceover narration in the audio track is strongly recommended to make the archival video most useful, but is not mandatory.
| Video Preview | Fast Forward | |
| What | The video preview will be hosted at a video platform (Vimeo) and should advertise your work in a way that motivates viewers to read the paper. It will exist for a long time. | The fast forward video is the video preview without any audio track. The visuals should support your on-stage oral advertisement to join your conference presentation. |
