Recording Tips:
- Keep video under 60 seconds, no longer than 90 seconds.
- Have fun! People like to watch videos that are engaging. We want them to watch the entire message, so the more fun you can have with it the more likely people are to keep watching.
- Wear Badger gear. We want this video to shout Badger Pride, so your outfit and background matter!
- Make sure your ending is a good lead in to the DOTB recap video that will follow your segment. We want them to know the next part they’re watching is a recap of the entire day.
Additional Tips:
- You can record directly to ThankView on your desktop or mobile device.
Make sure to film horizontally so you fill the frame. - 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.
