His willingness to take on the additional workload, respond to the needs of our guests and properties, and support the team during a challenging season did not go unnoticed. His hard work, dependability, and dedication truly demonstrate what it means to be a team player, and I greatly appreciate everything he did to help keep us moving forward."

First, Set Up Your Phone

1. Hold your phone vertically and start recording.

2. Prop it somewhere steady. A desk, shelf, or stack of books works fine.

3. Step back and make sure your head, hands, and gestures will all be visible. Leave some empty space around you for the graphics!

4. Wait a couple of seconds, do your thing, then wait another couple of seconds before stopping the recording.

5. Send the original video to Brandi. No editing, trimming, filters, or fancy transitions needed!

Point, Tap & Flick

• Point up like something just appeared.
• Point off to one side.
• Tap the air like you're pressing an invisible button.
• Snap your fingers.
• Flick something imaginary out of the way.
• Wag your finger like you're saying "not so fast."
• Lean into the frame and point.

Move That "i"!

• Swipe your hand sideways like you're moving something.
• Pretend to grab something from offscreen and place it.
• Toss an imaginary object toward the text.
• Pull something toward you.
• Pretend to push the words over with your hand.
• Reach up and pull the "i" down from above.
• Pretend to catch the "i" and set it in place.
• Give the "i" a little imaginary shove.

Give Us a Reaction

• Tap your temple like you just had an idea.
• Look up like you suddenly noticed something.
• Give us your best "wait... what?" expression.
• Shrug at the camera.
• Cross your arms and give a knowing look.
• Nod like "yep, that's the reality."
• Act surprised when the imaginary "i" appears.

Make an Entrance

• Walk into frame, stop, gesture, then walk out.
• Spin around in an office chair and point or look up.
• Start with your back to the camera, turn around, then gesture.
• Cover the camera with your hand, then uncover it.
• Open a door and gesture through it.
• Step aside like you're revealing something behind you.

A Few Tips From Your Very Patient Video Editor

Leave some space! Don't stand so close to the camera that your hands disappear when you reach or point.

Slow down! Give me a second to make the imaginary "i" appear, move, or land where it's supposed to.

Try it a few times! Record several gestures in one video if you want. I'll pick the best moments.
