Filming Guidelines
- Always record in horizontal format. If using your phone, prop up against a flat surface or use a tripod
- Make sure you are at least 3 feet away from the camera
- Make sure the camera is set up at chest level (a little below chest level works even better if you can set it up)
- Remember when putting your best self on the internet, NEVER do so without proper lighting! ? (You should face the light source, never against it e.g. Window, sunlight – natural light works best)
- Make sure there is no background noise (no TVs/music playing, cell phones on silent, etc.)
- Say your lines with excitement, sincerity, energy and smiles!! ?
- When recording, press record and wait at least 2-3 seconds before starting to speak, then wait at least 2-3 seconds at the end to end the recording. This is helpful for our editing purposes!
- Wear something purple purple.
Sending your video
The file sizes of videos are often large. To send the video, we recommend using WeTransfer. Go to WeTransfer.com from your computer (or phone if you filmed on your phone), upload your video file and send it to jruiz@lfaga.org.
