We would absolutely love to share your video testimonial alongside the work we did together. Our visitors love to watch these, and it brings our team warm fuzzies when we get to hear about how our time together benefited you and your business.
Don't be scared, we will edit the video if needed, all you need to do is record it. We want to make it as easy as possible for you to create it, so we have put together a step by step guide, to help you do it quickly and easily while looking as professional and amazing as possible.
1. Write your script, or at least some notes on a piece of paper or screen and hang it in front of you if possible. You can use all of your answers above to create your content easily. Rehearse it a couple of times before filming, so that you can look and speak directly into the camera and not have your eyes elsewhere trying to read.
2. Look your best and make sure your background does as well. Stand or sit in front of a nice backdrop such as:
3. Make sure you have good lighting. If you have any photography or video lights, put them in front of you shining towards you, and behind the camera of course. You can also use house or desk lamps (daylight colored light bulbs work best, but anything will be better than nothing). Use a lampshade or some paper or a sheet to filter the light as it shines towards you, so there isn’t a glare. You also can sit in front of a window, facing it, so that the light is shining directly towards you.
4. Use a professional camera or video camera if you have one, otherwise you can use your phone or computer camera. If you are using your phone, Make sure to turn your phone sideways so that it films in landscape or wide mode, Make sure to use something to keep the camera steady so that it does not jiggle. Do not hold the camera with your hand or selfie stick as this will make the video hard to watch. Make sure the camera is facing you directly and not at an angle below or above you.
5. If you aren't aren't a video professional and don't know the file type or size, just go ahead, film it, and send it to us. If you do know a bit, then the preferred file types would be .mp4, or .mov, However, we can make almost any video file format work. Videos should be between 480x470 pixels to 1920x1080 pixels, the higher the better.
6. Use a microphone attached to the camera, if you have one, if you don’t that’s ok. make sure you are in a quiet place, and speak loudly and clearly.
7. Smile, relax and have fun with the filming, because you are the main character and the star!
8. Once you have your video ready you can upload it below, if you have any troubles uploading you can always send it to grow@ulumediagroup.com and if it is too large for an email, you can use www.wetransfer.com (a free service), to send it to us.
Ready, Set, Action!
