Maria Camia is currently a senior majoring in Sculpture and Extended Media at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia. She was raised in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Her work consists of video, painting, music, and accessories. Maria sends the viewer into an alternate universe where the kooky characters laugh, chant, eat, and dance together. Through this means, she hopes to entertain but enrich the audience with new uplifting perspectives. She will be graduating this coming May.

Videographers' Guidelines
Quail Bell is a multimedia publication dedicated to all that is imaginary, nostalgic, and otherworldly. This includes the magical, the historical, the quirky, and the just plain weird. Our voice is off-beat, even eccentric at times. We value creativity, originality, and quality in all of our content. That includes any and all of our non-fiction videos. Whether you're presenting a video tour of a tea parlor or interviewing some artsy Goth girl, show us your fearlessness (but don't be afraid to add some cuteness to that edge if necessary). We like confidence.
More specifically, follow these guidelines before submitting your video to us:
- Get the topic right. We are a niche publication. Don't send us a video of frat boys jammin' at the club (unless you can get them to wave magic wands and sing the "My Little Pony" theme song. Then we might be interested.) Check out the content we have already run, but don't let that limit you either. Interpret our tagline of "the imaginary, the nostalgic, and the otherworldly" with the eyes of a child and we might just dig your V-I-D-E-O.
- Avoid shaky cam--unless it's stylistic.
- Be careful with your audio. Your video shouldn't sound like you recorded it in a box. Be sure about your music choices, should you add a soundtrack.
- NO PIXELATION. Or at least not super-obvious pixelation (again, unless it's justified).
- You should be able to upload your video to YouTube and/or Vimeo. Please do not email us attachments of mini-videos. Send us a link to your video. We'll grab the embed code to put it on our website should we accept it.
