Making Your Videotape

Make sure they can see and hear you clearly. Do not stand in front of a bright window.
Make sure you are taping in a silent room. Stand close to the camera.
At the end of the tape please zoom the camera out to include a full body shot of you.
Label the tape with your name, address and phone number.
They can accept ALL tape formats, EXCEPT HI8.
Be Kind, Rewind. Rewinding your tape to the beginning greatly increases our fondness for you.

Include a recent photo:
Please enclose a recent personal photo of yourself with the tape. Make sure your photo(s) are clearly labeled with your name and phone number on the back. It is best, though not mandatory, to send two clear photos of yourself - one close up and one full body.
