ireport

I created a (fun) news-story.
First I was thinking about making a video about a shark attack or a robbery, but then I found the following video on my computer and had the crazy idea to change it into a 'news-story'. I made this video last May back in Germany and actually it is about a spontanous event (Flashmob) at a famous place in Cologne where a few hundred people brought their own pillows and started a pillow fight.
So this is my really crazy news-story and my video:

Demonstration for snow in Cologne!
Cologne, 24th September 2009
Yesterday a few hundred people demonstrated in Cologne, Germany for more snow in the following winter. They started a big pillow fight to copy real snow. The demonstration took place in front of the famous cologne cathedral to get also support from the powers that be.

The funny thing is that I got a message from CNN/ireport after uploading my video and obviously they are believing in my story...:)

Hi there,
Thank you for sending a video of the pillow fight in Cologne. I have a couple of questions about your submission.

1. Can you confirm you shot this video? Is there anyone else to courtesy?

2. What is your full name?

3. Are you over 18?

4. When was this shot? What was the scene like?

5. Is this an annual event? Who organizes it?

6. Do you live in Cologne? Does it usually snow there?

7. What’s the best phone number to reach you?

8. Do you give CNN permission to show your iReport online and/or on TV?


If you have anything else to add, please do. I look forward to hearing from you!

Best,

Katie



And this one:

Hi Carolin,

Thanks for your reply. I just need a little more information about the video before I approve it for CNN. Can you send me a link to where the event was announced, or any information about it? I haven't been able to find much online, but that may be because I don't speak German!

Thanks,
Katie
