Hi all, Would anyone be interested in doing a collaborative video (or series) just to promote libraries in general? This is completely voluntary. We would feature parts of the library by different libraries and then edit the videos together for anyone and everyone to share on their channels. It would be to just promote how incredible our collections, services, and events are, and that would be the message. Please let me know if this is something you would be interested in, <https://forms.gle/cz1C2gUS52ZNEpqR8> I'm happy to coordinate it. (This is separate from the Summer Reading Collab Video). If you have any ideas on how to structure this, please let me know. I'm open to help and anything, really. If you are in a consortium that is not TLN, please pass along this invitation in your listserv. Thanks! *For more info, keep reading.* *For the video part, you'd want to closely follow these steps:* - We would plan a script(s) & storyboard(s) (impacts, benefits, awesomeness, services) - Record in Portrait - Do not add captions - we'd do this during editing the videos together so it's consistent - Share your black & white logo with white background - jpg or png - Use a wearable/mobile mic for better sound, or film in less busy places or during times when it's quiet - Ensure there is good lighting - Make sure you are recording in mirror mode/filter so anything you are sharing is not backward in the recording - Save your recording as a .mp4 or .mov format - those are easier to work with -- Katie Rothley, MLIS Marketing & Public Relations Librarian Northville District Library 212 West Cady Street Northville, MI 48167 (248) 349-3020 <callto:(248)+349-3020> ext. 221 https://northvillelibrary.org
