Here are just a few key points if you are Recording a Video for us to Play
If possible, record at Video Quality 1080p, but don’t worry about it if you don’t know what that is!
The content, video orientation and your delivery of it are far more important than video quality.
Our projectors are like TVs.
To avoid large black bars, please video horizontally.
Remember to smile at the start and the end of the video.
Avoid us looking up your nose!
The camera is elevated, so Kate and Martha here aren’t looking down on it. There is a little distance, so we can reframe it if needed.
They have something in the background to add some interest.
They have left room for Subtitles and Name Captions.
Due to licensing complications, please avoid using any background music in your recording.
It is easily added during editing, and you are welcome to make suggestions.
The MOST Important!
Please don’t rush to start and stop the recording; otherwise, we will see you reaching for the camera in the final video, and it’ll look rushed.
Wait two seconds before and after. Enough time for a smile!
We’ll remove the rest by editing the video.
