Catch Your Creative Process: Filming Tips
Sharing your work should be easy and fun! We’re here every step of the way to ensure you have fun making your submission.

You may choose to make a video to visually answer the process questions as part of your submission, but a video is not required. If you do choose to submit a video, it doesn’t need to look professional. We’re honored to be let in on your process as best as you can show it. Again, quality filming is not a priority.

Just use your phone or capture the process however you desire. Selfie it or have a friend help you — the goal is to get creative and share what your process is like.

VIDEO TIPS

• Identify your online platform, then pick your frame: Square or horizontal.
• Use the right camera/phone mount or tripod for your space.
• Keep your head and body out of the frame as much as possible.
• Ask a friend to help! Another eye can be more valuable than you know.

GENERAL TIPS

• Select your workspace based on the best lighting possible.
• Make sure links are not password protected.
