➡️ Video Recording Tips:
Please film your video in Landscape.
Using your phone or tablet to record is fine.
Please hold your phone/tablet to record video in landscape, not portrait (landscape is horizontal, portrait in vertical). This type of recording will help fill the screen better and make for a more consistent presentation for our premiere.
When recording your video, include just a few seconds of silence before and after starting the performance.
Try to present yourself as if this were a “real” performance! We want to capture your best performance to share!
Re the recording, as per notifications, please remember to wear a touch of ☘️ GREEN (or go all-out Green….up to you how much!) This is purely for the fun element, as part of the St Patrick's Day festivities! 🇮🇪 AND of course, there will be a special prize or two for the most Festively dressed! 😉
