University of Alberta left you the following instructions:

Hello!

Congratulations on your student scholarship, bursary or award! We would be grateful if you would help us thank the donors of your award by filming a brief video message (no more than 30 seconds) expressing your gratitude. Scroll to the bottom of this message for help with how to record a video. An appearance release form will be emailed to you once your video is received.

Thank you for taking the time to let your donors know the difference their gift has made to you!

If you have any questions please email thankyou@ualberta.ca

Thank you!
Your Donor Relations Team

Recording Tips:
  • You can record directly to ThankView on your desktop or mobile device.
  • Film horizontally so you fill the frame.
  • If using a phone or tablet, use a tripod or prop it up 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.
  • Choose a location that provides balanced lighting. Use a room with a lot of natural light.
  • Record while facing a window so you benefit from natural light. If the window is behind you, you will appear in shadow.
  • Choose a flattering angle. Shooting from below should be avoided.
  • 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!
