=== Trivia === | |||
* Regardless of how long the candidates took, each video was edited to be precisely 69 seconds long. | |||
* The backing music used for the manifestos was an edited version of [http://www.freestockmusic.com/2012/pop-production-music/free-pop-rock-stock-music-here-we-are/ Here We Are]. | |||
* Candidate for YUSU President and NUS Delegate (as well as then-Academic Officer) Dan Whitmore has two outtakes available as part of our Results Night coverage. | |||
* One candidate requested that their 60 Second Manifesto be taken down, and another failed on all three attempts but never responded to an offer to try again. | |||

It was the first year where we did not have to given in and edit together parts of all three of his takes, thanks in part due to threats that Lloyd would remove his clothes if he messed up again. | |||
* Successful candidate for Student Activities Officer, [hist:Chris Wall|Chris Wall], was also nervous when filming his manifesto at 11pm on Sunday Evening having just got back from Sommerset. Lloyd again threatened to remove clothing, at which point the candidate just got aroused instead. | |||
* Candidate for Senate Rep Stephen Harper did two serious and somewhat successful takes at his manifesto before instead deciding his [http://ystv.co.uk/watch/Elections/2014/60seconds/senate/50/ third take] would be best (and he won too). | |||
