Our preferred format is mini-DV (NTSC) tape. If that is not an option, please send the highest resolution file you have, on a data CD, not a DVD.

It would be very helpful if you could include the following information for each video:
Band Name
Band URL
Song Title
Record Label
Label URL
Running Time
Director
For live footage, the date it was shot, or your best guess.
If at any point, and for any reason, you would like your content removed from the Blank Nation web properties, please notify us in writing by sending your request to our content manager, Sunset, at: sunset@blanktv.com.
