Baldwin Wallace University left you the following instructions:

Throughout the month of November, we're recognizing the people and experiences that make the BW community a special place.
 
We invite you to reflect on someone who has made a meaningful impact on your life through your connection to BW. This could be a mentor, friend, professor, coach, staff member, alumni, or anyone else who helped shape your BW experience and/or left a lasting impression on you.

We will share your message directly with any individual you would like to acknowledge. With your permission, we can also share your message on our online channels to more greatly celebrate the BW community.

Recording Tips:
  • You can record directly to ThankView on your desktop or mobile device.
    Make sure to 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. Try to find a room that has a lot of natural light.
  • Record with the window facing you so you benefit from the natural light. If the window is behind you, you will appear shadowed.
  • Choose a flattering angle for your recording. Shooting from below is not usually a person’s best angle.
  • Avoid echo chambers. Oftentimes sparse offices or conference rooms with glass walls can create a lot of echoes.
  • Avoid blustery locations or areas with a lot of foot or vehicle traffic as your device’s mic may pick up noise.
  • Avoid wearing something extremely bright as it will wash you out on camera. Also, make sure it’s something you won’t regret in six months!
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, whether you’re thanking, inviting, or soliciting your recipient.
  • Create a video between thirty seconds and a minute to keep people engaged.
  • Be yourself and have fun!
