TECHNICAL SELF-TAPE INSTRUCTIONS

RECORDING DEVICE / FRAMING:
  • You can record your self-taped audition on a cell phone camera, you do not need a fancy camera. 
  • Your phone or camera should record in the landscape / horizontal position (Sideways) NOT vertically. 

LIGHTING / AUDIO:
  • Record your audition in a well-lit area. Soft and/or natural light is preferred.
  • Your light source should come from behind the camera, not from behind you, otherwise we will only see your silhouette. 

LOCATION:
  • Record in an uncluttered area where we can see you clearly. Ideally against a neutral backdrop. You can film outdoors if you have good lighting and it is quiet. Avoid loud or noisy areas (i.e. fans, street noise, etc.). ​

WARDROBE:
  • Wear an outfit that you would wear to take your family out on a picnic. ​

INTRODUCTION VIDEO

Frame yourself/your family in camera standing side by side and so you can be seen from heads to toe.
If you do not have room for this, make sure we can at LEAST see you from the mid thigh up.
​You can have your kids stand in front of you if needed/applicable.

Each person should look into the camera and answer the following questions.
1. What is your full name? 
2. How tall are you? 
3. How old are you (kids only) 

4.  What experience do you have around/in the water and with different water activities? Please specifically have each member mention if they have experience with Water Skiing, Wakeboarding, Wake Surfing, or Paddle boarding and fishing. Briefly expand on what the experience level is. Parents of young children, please answer this question for your kid(s).   ​
