Video Tips
​
- Length: 2-3 minutes max, please try not to go over 3 minutes if possible.
-
You can use your cell phone.
-
Shoot with your phone sideways/landscape mode. Use a tripod or set it on something or have someone hold it for you with a very steady hand.
-
Ensure your recording device is steady, in focus, and framed nicely.
-
Remove distracting/messy items from the frame (laundry, vacuum, food, etc.).
-
Avoid having a bright window, light, or moving ceiling fan behind you.
-
Your main light source should be in front of you, not behind.
-
In other words, you should be facing/looking at the brightest light.
-
Your audio should be clear and free of background noise (Turn off the TV/Radio, No barking dogs, etc.)
-
Please try to look directly into camera as much as possible.
