Shout Your Abortion

Video Tips

You are welcome to record your video however you want, but obviously, higher quality is preferable. However you record your tape, make sure you are well lit, even if that means sitting near a window or some nice, soft lights. We’d like to do better than the “webcam view with my face illuminated by the blue hue of the computer screen” look.

If you are using the on-board microphone on your webcam/phone/camcorder, try to mitigate room echo by shooting either in a smaller room with carpet/curtains/soft things to soak up the echo, or outdoors. We also recommend doing a quick test video and listening back with earbuds or headphones to make sure things sound good. If you have a friend who has a nice camera and nice microphone, maybe they’d be interesting in helping out the cause by recording your video. It never hurts to ask!

We highly recommend recording in 1920×1080 resolution, or 1080p as some know it. Almost all new smartphones record this way by default, as do most webcam recording applications. We can take smaller size, but the quality will be smaller too.
