My idea is to interview the Tidewater-area flag officers, and create at least one video, documentary style, about leadership. Ideally, I'd have 15 to 20 minutes from each flag officer, giving me plenty of tape to create at least one 5 minute video.
I'm not sure how the interviews would be structured, but they'd have to be, at least somewhat.
Working proposal follows.
Working Proposal for a Submission to the 2nd Annual Leadership Video Contest

Interview Questions:
- Tell me about the first time you realized leadership was important.
- What one thing would you want those in the Coast Guard who are coming after you to know and practice about leadership?
- Tell me about an incident where you learned much about leadership and the sort of leader you strive to be.
- What activity would you suggest to young Coast Guard members who want to develop their own leadership abilities?
- What is the most important leadership lesson you've learned during your time with the Coast Guard?
- What leadership "tips" would you provide to those who are following you in the Service?
Resources to be used:

I think it's a great idea. Nicely structured, good opportunity to have leadership talk about leadership. It will be tough editing it to 5 minutes. Probably would be better to make it longer and not submit it as an entry (not bound by the 5 minute rule).

Captain,
I would like us to enter a video in the Leadership Video Contest, and would like your help in setting it up. My thought is that your initial plug will wash away a few barriers.
The gist is that I'd interview the flag officers in Hampton Roads and edit the video for the contest.
Last year's videos are here:

You'll find a proposal for this project below.
I'd like to get on the calendars for the flag officers and was wondering if you could make the initial contact with the front office staffs.
I'd be glad to answer any questions you might have about this project.
v/r,
/s/ Peter
