30-Second Creative Video Tips

We bet you are a little anxious about this part of the application process but don’t worry!

    • Make sure you create a video that you would be proud of if it goes viral!
    • Tell us about yourself in a creative way. Share any events in your life and any achievements that make you proud. Demonstrate your talents and skills.
    • Plan before you stand in front of the camera. Writing your ideas ahead of time encourages intention, clarity, and confidence.
    • Be natural but avoid excessive “ums” and “likes” when speaking.
    • Record the video with your (or your friend’s) phone or camera. Remember: high-tech alone doesn’t make a movie better. 
    • Fit in the 30-second time frame. We don’t watch longer videos.
    • If you are speaking, make sure to use English.
    • Speak loud enough and reduce or eliminate background noise. We want to be able to hear you. 
    • Consider the light: not too dark, not too bright. We want to see what you choose to show us. 
    • Avoid having the camera pointing up to your nose. We want to see your face and reactions.
    • Edit your video, if necessary. There is plenty of free video editing software to use.
    • Save the final version following the sample name: AUBG MTQ 2023. If you’d like, you can include your name.
    • Create a YouTube account or use an existing one.
    • Upload your video to the YouTube account of your choice. You may use public or unlisted video privacy settings. If you choose “unlisted”, only those who you send the link to can see it.
    • Copy the video URL by right-clicking on the YouTube video and choosing “Copy Video URL”. 
    • Paste the copied URL into your MTQ application form.
