Recording Tips:
- You can record directly to ThankView on your desktop or mobile device.
- Film horizontally so you fill the frame.
- When recording with a phone or tablet, use a tripod or prop it up with something like books for stability. Try not to hold it.
- Keep your device close for good sound quality but far enough away that you are the focus. Try 3-4 feet.
- Consider shooting in a location your recipients may recognize.
- Choose a location that provides balanced lighting. Natural light is best - recording facing a window to benefit from the natural light.
- Choose a flattering angle for your recording. Shooting from below is not usually a person’s best angle.
- Avoid blustery locations or areas with a lot of foot or vehicle traffic as your device’s mic may pick up noise.
Video Content Tips:
- The content of your video is ultimately up to you. Make it funny, sweet, informative - whatever tone you want.
- We advise always starting with gratitude and excitement!
- Create a video between thirty seconds and a minute to keep people engaged.
- Be yourself and have fun!
