You find a Polaroid from InstructureCon in your coat pocket. What’s in the photo—and why do you treasure it?

---

Find your spot: Choose a quiet, well-lit place. Natural light is usually best. Try to avoid overly busy backgrounds, but feel free to show some personality—we love seeing your wall art, funky drapes, and bowling trophies.
Clean your lens: A quick phone cam/webcam lens wipe makes a huge difference.
Charge your device: Make sure your phone or computer has plenty of battery and storage space.

Hold your phone horizontally: Always record in landscape mode—it looks more professional.
Keep it steady: Prop your phone up, or use a stand if you have one, to avoid shaky video.
Look at the lens: Treat the camera lens like a person's eyes. It helps you connect with viewers.
Speak clearly: Talk a little louder than usual and project your voice.
Be yourself: Let your quirky/thoughtful/enthusiastic/intellectual self shine. Share your genuine experience.
Keep it concise: Aim for 30–90 seconds.

Give it a quick review: Ensure the sound and picture are good. No need for perfection, just make sure a) we can hear and see you and b) you like it!
