When preparing to film your child’s part for our Showcase, please take care to do the following so that we can have consistency in the clips (any not conforming will be returned and asked to be reshot):

PERFORMER SETTING:

• Performer should be in full costume and makeup as noted in Performer Details.

BACKGROUND SETTING:

• Plan to film during the daytime in a room that provides good natural light.
• Check that everything in the frame is a part of your scene. Clean out anything that shouldn’t belong.

PHONE SETTING:

• Set your phone to the highest camera setting possible for maximum quality. 
• Make sure the volume is all the way up on your phone before you start filming.
• The phone must remain still while filming. Place the phone still on a table or your lap, etc. so it doesn’t move or shake while filming the routine.

DIRECTION OF CAMERA/PHONE:

• Film in Landscape Orientation (Horizontally) on the phone, with the camera lens on top.
