Upload to Dropbox
We also have a Dropbox where you can upload your video files and we can share them through our networks or use them in our wrap-up videos. Here’s how:
- Create a highlight reel
- This should include only the very best shots from your event — aim for five minutes or less. It doesn’t need to be a polished edit, but including only the best shots will help make things easier.
- Types of shots that are most useful are:
- wide-angle shots that show the full scope of the event
- medium shots that show action, chanting, signs, marching, etc.
- close-up portrait shots that show the faces of the movement
- any powerful audio: quotes from speeches, cheers, chants, etc.
- Export your file
- We can handle multiple file formats, but your footage will ideally be transcoded be of high resolution — 720P or higher.
- Name the file with “City, Country – Break Free – Videographer Name.” For example, “London, United Kingdom – Laura Smith.mov”
