Getting set up:

  1. Video must be positioned vertical for Instagram.
  2. Choose a background within your business that is clean, organized, and gorgeous.
  3. Make sure there is a light source in front of you and NOT behind you.
  4. Please utilize a tripod or ask your videographer to keep their hands as still as they can during the filming. Again, we will do all of the formatting.
  5. Make sure if there is music playing in the background it is turned down, and you have a quiet room. 

Recording:

  1. Have someone ask you your chosen questions or read them out loud. The voice will not be used for the filming, this for us to reference when editing.
  2. When answering, please speak clearly and loud enough for the recording device. If you have a microphone, even better!
  3. Keep your answers short and sweet! You only have 20 seconds to answer each question. If you go over, we will have to edit your answer and shorten it. But, most of all have FUN with this!
