Video analysis project

We are gathering breech birth videos for a research project, looking at the events that happen during expulsion (from rumping until the birth of the head).

We will be analyzing the following:

the timing of vaginal breech births, specifically how long each body part takes (legs, arms, and head)
cardinal movements of the breech baby as it navigates the maternal pelvis
the use and timing of maneuvers

I would like to submit a video. What do I do?
