Tips for filming
Here are some filming tips to help you submit high quality videos:

- Film in a well-lit place.
- Make sure you're centered in the frame.
- Try to get the camera as near to eye level as you can (we want to avoid low-angle shots as much as possible).
- Make sure it sounds good
- Film your video in or near a silent environment.
- Film multiple takes if you need to get it right.
- Playback your video and make sure that your sound input is good.
- Don't worrry about editing
