We Highly Recommend That You Film a Short Invitation Video
Now its time to decide if you want to film your invitation. We highly recommend it! Watch the video above for instructions. If you just need a quick run down, here are the highlights:
- Use your cell phone (the cameras on most smart phones are excellent)
- Build a makeshift tripod, turn your phone horizontal (vertical videos are not preferable), and prop it up so the camera is still
- If you can’t build a tripod, you can film yourself selfie-style so long as you keep the camera as still as possible
- Center yourself in the frame (you want to be in the middle of the horizontal screen, not off to the left or right)
- Use the script below (or write your own). Please inject your personality into the invitation! After all, the more natural you seem the more likely people will join! Feel free to copy my employment law newsletter invitation video (also below).
- Do multiple takes until you’re happy with it
- Send it to us!
After you send the video to us, we will edit it, upload it, add music and graphics, and add a thumbnail. It will look very professional.
