Your Virtual Filming Session – Getting Prepared
Below is all of the info that you need to get prepared for your virtual filming session. Please let us know if you have any questions about anything before our virtual filming date.
We will, of course, do our last-minute tweaks and set up when we log on together at the time of our virtual filming session, but as much of the setup as you can do ahead of time will save us time in the moment, and make your filming session faster.

The Overall Plan:
We’re either going to:
Option #1: Film your video with your SmartPhone (iPhone or Android) as the “camera”
OR
Option #2: Film this video using your computer as the “camera”
PLEASE NOTE: If you are going to be using your SmartPhone as your camera, then we will also have you log in from a nearby laptop separately as well, so we can communicate and see each other on the laptop, while actually positioning the SmartPhone directly in front of you, to be the “camera” for our shoot. (FYI, the positioning of your laptop doesn’t matter, it just needs to be close enough so that we can see and hear each other during the session, before we start recording, and between takes.)
