How To Create Your Video Testimonial Video At Home
We’re so happy you’re willing to share your journey with us! Follow these simple steps to record a great testimonial video from the comfort of your home.
1) Framing & Camera Angle:
- Place your phone vertically
- Set the video to “portrait mode, if possible
- Position yourself centered in the frame with a little space above your head.
- Keep the camera at eye level — avoid extreme angles.
- If you don’t have a tripod handy, rest your phone against any stable surface to keep the camera steady.
2) Lighting — Natural Light Is Best!
- Sit facing a window (but not with the window behind you).
- If using indoor lighting, make sure your face is well-lit and avoid harsh shadows.
- Avoid recording in dimly lit rooms — we want to see your natural radiance!
3. Smartphone Settings & Technical Details
- Resolution: 1080p (or higher) for the best quality.
- Focus: Tap on your face on the screen to make sure you’re in focus. Portrait mode is great for this!
4. Audio Tips
- Record in a quiet space — turn off TVs, fans and any background noise.
- Speak clearly and at a steady, natural pace.
- Take your time! You can make as many attempts as you’d like. We’ll always use the one you are most comfortable with!
5. Background Considerations
- Choose a clean, clutter-free background.
- Avoid overly busy backgrounds that can distract from your message.
- A neutral-colored wall or well-organized space works great!
