Alumni Engagement and Annual Giving left you the following instructions:

To honor National Women's History Month, we invite you to share a brief story about a remarkable UB woman who has had an impact on your life.

By participating and submitting a video, you not only acknowledge the significance of this woman but you will also be entered into a drawing to win two tickets to the sold-out Amanda Gorman event on March 26, 2024.

Recording Tips:
  • You can record directly to ThankView on your desktop or mobile device.
    Make sure to film horizontally so you fill the frame.
  • When recording with a phone or tablet, use a tripod or prop it up with something like books for stability. Try not to hold it.
  • Keep your device close for good sound quality but far enough away that you are the focus. Try 3-4 feet.
  • Consider shooting in a location your recipients may recognize.
  • Choose a location that provides balanced lighting. Try to find a room that has a lot of natural light.
  • Record with the window facing you so you benefit from the natural light. If the window is behind you, you will appear shadowed.
  • Choose a flattering angle for your recording. Shooting from below is not usually a person’s best angle.
  • Avoid echo chambers. Oftentimes sparse offices or conference rooms with glass walls can create a lot of echoes.
  • Avoid blustery locations or areas with a lot of foot or vehicle traffic as your device’s mic may pick up noise.
  • Avoid wearing something extremely bright as it will wash you out on camera. Also, make sure it’s something you won’t regret in six months!
Video Content Tips:
  • The content of your video is ultimately up to you. Make it funny, sweet, informative - whatever tone you want.
  • We advise always starting with gratitude, whether you’re thanking, inviting, or soliciting your recipient.
  • Create a video between thirty seconds and a minute to keep people engaged.
  • Be yourself and have fun!
