Guilford College left you the following instructions:

As the Guilford community prepares for Guilford Madness on March 27-29, we want to offer the opportunity for Guilfordians help us spread the word about this effort and share their love for Guilford!

Guilford Madness, will be a spin on college basketball’s March Madness combined with our annual Day for Guilford. During Guilford Madness we are encouraging all Guilfordians - alumni, faculty, staff, students, parents, families and friends to Inform, Involve and Invest.
  • Inform - Spread the word about Guilford Madness through word of mouth, social media, phone calls and/or text messages.
  • Involve - Volunteer by engaging in an on-campus community service project or by supporting campus-wide initiatives.
    Invest - Support Guilford with a financial donation of any size (no gift is too small) to impact the student experience and the future of the College!
In the requested video, we would love for Guilfordians to answer the following questions:
  • Why do you love Guilford? 
  • If you could describe your Guilford experience in 3 words, what would it be? 
  • How has Guilford changed your life? 
  • What is your "why" in terms of why you believe it's important to support Guilford?

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.
  • Choose a location that provides balanced lighting. Try to find a room that has a lot of natural light.
  • Wear Guilford attire or Guilford colors! 
  • 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.
Video Content Tips:
  • Make sure to indicate your name and feel free to mention in the video how you are connected to Guilford (alum, staff, faculty, current student, current parent, former parent, friend, etc)!
