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 go on a hike. ​

INTRODUCTION VIDEO

Please film your self-tape together as a couple/family.
​Frame yourself 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.

Look into the camera and each answer the following questions.
1. What is your full name? 
2. Where are you located? (one parent can say this once and then it doesn't need to be repeated)
3. How are you? (KIDS ONLY)

​4. What is your favorite activity to do as a family/couple?
5. What is each of your comfort level like around water and horses?
6. If auditioning as a couple - Briefly tell us how you met. (You can do this story together, you do not each need to tell the same story) ​
