We don’t expect everyone to have a few thousand dollars worth of film equipment lying around. Thankfully, you can create authentic, engaging content with your smartphone! Here are a few tips/guidelines as you work to create your content:

1. Length – Your videos will be viewed by age groups 4 – 8. We often recommend trying to have your video be 10 minutes or less to ensure your audience remains captivated.
2. Individual or Team – Feel free to include your family, friends, or team members to make reading your story as fun as possible! It sometimes helps to have another person to read to or to hold the camera for you.
3. Editing your video – Your videos do not need to be professionally edited, they may not even need to be edited! Your audience will appreciate the authenticity of you sharing this story with a video created at home. Free video editing software like iMovie or Windows Video Editor can get the job done. You likely also have video editing software on your phone as well!
