shooting specs
Shoot on phone, webcam or DSLR camera. Record horizontally, not vertically. A tripod or steady surface to sit the camera on would be great but not required. Don’t submit a file over 20GB.
Framing
Try to shoot it in an area that gives context to where you are in the world. If you are filming in your house, don’t film it against a blank wall. What in your house might look unique to your culture? Living rooms, balconies, or kitchens can all give some interesting perspective. Keep the camera eye level when responding to questions. Try to film yourself from the chest up.
EXAMPLES
Language
We are open to talent speaking any language. If you answer a question in a language other than English, please verbally translate what you said in English right after.
