[Michlib-l] Invitation to participate in a general libraries social media video

[Katie Rothley]

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
