THE APPLICATION AND THE RELEASE FORM. VIDEOTAPE SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Please provide a video that meets these requirements: LENGTH: MAXIMUM OF 7 MINUTES. FORMAT: Mini-DV or DVD CONTENT: There is no "right" or "wrong" thing to say or do on a tape, we just want to get to know your family.

Start by doing a family introduction, all members in one shot, all in one voice (example: "Hi! We're the Johnsons!"). Then have each member say their name like a family Mouseketeer role call.
