Hello! I'm Steve Kownacki and I have the privilege of being the production company to support PA Trauma Systems Foundation and this year's Virtual Conference. Perhaps we met last year and you had a peek at our production setup in the back of the room. It's much easier to jump up on stage and start speaking - all the microphones, lights, slides and cameras are ready to go. In this virtual time, that tech gets put on your plate. I'm here to make this process as easy as possible to make you look and sound your best! So I'm asking for patience in order for me to help us accomplish this.

- Avoid white or black, and deep, solid colors like red, green and blue.
- Fine pinstripes, patterns or checks are not pleasing to the camera.
- Staying with neutral or muted colors and designs works best.
- Don't sit on a chair that swivels, rocks, or otherwise moves. Nervous movement reduces your professionalism.
- Noisy jewelry is very distracting. Bangles, charm bracelets or a watch banging on the desk is an issue for men and women.
- Be aware of ambient noise in the room. I’ve heard it all: dishes, kids, pets, construction. Do your best to schedule around that.
- Reflections in eyeglasses from lights.
- The lens is your audience, maintain eye contact.
- Raise your camera or laptop so the camera is at eye level. We see that horrendous up-the-nose shot every day.
- Reference your slides, but don't stare at them, then get back to looking at the lens.
- Keep the microphone as close to you as possible. It's probably located in your webcam.
- Don't put a window behind you, this will cause difficult silhouetting. A window behind the camera is good.
- You can be next to a window for natural lighting. But avoid a direct sidelight.
- You can light yourself with a lamp placed 3' to the side and 3' in front of you. This will take some experimenting.
- Center yourself in the frame from left to right
- Keep roughly a fist-sized space above your head. Your eyes should not be in the middle of the screen.
- The bottom of the frame should be between your armpits and elbows.
Use the General guidelines above to make you look good in your environment. Please set your video camera/phone/tablet to record a minimum of 720p HD. 1080p is better.
- Be sure to record in HORIZONTAL/LANDSCAPE perspective
- Use a tripod and try not to move around too much.
- Level the tripod. Find a vertical line in your shot such as a doorframe, piece of furniture, etc. so the image and edge of the viewfinder are parallel.
- Focus on the eyes. Once the camera is set, touch and hold the screen on your eyes to lock the focus.
- When recording, hit the record button, stabilize the camera, wait 5 seconds, give your message staring right at the lens, wait another 5 seconds, hit stop.
- Recording media is cheap. Missing the shot, painful. Let the camera roll early and a few extra seconds when you are done.
- Presentation time allotment: 5 minutes/5 slides
- Editing will be done by Final Focus Productions
