- Then, please share why you love being an Environment student, what kind of impact Dean Jean has had on you, and any well wishes you have for her.
- The content of your video is ultimately up to you. Make it funny, sweet, informative - whatever tone you want.
- We advise always starting with gratitude.
- Create a video between thirty seconds and a minute to keep people engaged.
- Be yourself and have fun!
Recording Tips:
- You can record directly to ThankView on your desktop or mobile device.
Make sure to film horizontally so you fill the frame. - When recording with a phone or tablet, use a tripod or prop it up with something like books for stability. Try not to hold it.
- Keep your device close for good sound quality but far enough away that you are the focus. Try 3-4 feet.
- Consider shooting in a location your recipients may recognize.
- Choose a location that provides balanced lighting. Try to find a room that has a lot of natural light.
- Record with the window facing you so you benefit from the natural light. If the window is behind you, you will appear shadowed.
- Choose a flattering angle for your recording. Shooting from below is not usually a person’s best angle.
- Avoid echo chambers. Oftentimes sparse offices or conference rooms with glass walls can create a lot of echoes.
- Avoid blustery locations or areas with a lot of foot or vehicle traffic as your device’s mic may pick up noise.
- Avoid wearing something extremely bright as it will wash you out on camera. Also, make sure it’s something you won’t regret in six months!
