Camera:
- An HD camera is a must (your phone camera will suffice IF you can mount it securely so there is no shaking during filming). If using phone please film in high quality.
- We can try to use videos from a webcam, but cannot guarantee inclusion as these are typically low-quality.
- Film in LANDSCAPE orientation (wide view). Do not film in portrait orientation (tall/thin)
Location/Filming
- Film in a quiet place… good quality audio is KEY! What you say is 10 times more important than how you look.
- The background is not very important – just nothing messy or distracting in the background. Please ensure there is plenty of light on your face so we can see you clearly.
- Ideally, have someone “interview you” by asking you the questions below. Sit on a stool or low-back chair and face the interviewer (not the camera). The camera should be filming you slightly off-angle (see photo).
- If you are alone, set up the camera “as if” someone was interviewing you and answer the interview questions as though someone had asked you (ie. look into the “eyes” of where the interviewer would be sitting and wait a few moments before answering the questions. Keep answer to the questions succinct (ideally 10-15 seconds long… slightly longer if your answer is AWESOME)
- Please submit your un-edited film with 5 seconds lead time before and after the video (so we can remove any mild background noise). If it’s easier – you can submit multiple clips with each clip answering one of the questions below.
