Video Tips:
- Make sure the area is well lit and the noise level is good for shooting
- Be careful to keep your finger off of the mic when shooting with a smartphone
- Do more than one take
- Video files like .mp4, .wmv and .mov are large, so keep it short to make emailing easy
- Warm up your participant by asking them their name on camera and how to spell it (will make it easier for captions)
