VLOG SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Tru Biz Coda That Goals for Publications

Weekly Goal: to post one BLOG/VLOG on a weekly basis, please note this may not always happen due to holidays and is based on the number of submissions.

Quarterly Goal: to share an interview or panel discussion to share Coda perspectives on various topics.

Guidelines for Submissions

Length: Weekly BLOGs/VLOGs: 1-5 minutes; Quarterly Interviews or panel discussions: 10 - 60 minutes

Bilingual Publishing: We have a wide audience, some who know sign language and some who do not.  Submissions are accepted in English only and any videos in sign language, should have a transcript or captions in English. If this is something you are unable to do, you can request this by sending an email to [email protected]

Good lighting: Bright or natural light is best and please avoid back lighting or sources of light behind you.

Camera angles: Keep the camera level with your body, so your audience is not looking up or down at you.

Steady Camera: Have your camera/phone/laptop in a steady location to avoid shaky footage. 

Eye Contact: Look into the camera and not yourself on the screen. This will help you connect with your audience.

Background: Your background preferably should be solid, plain, and free of clutter. 

Framing: ​Record your video with landscape framing, and not portrait.  We need to be able to see your signing space. 

Audio: If recording in sign language, monitor the audio to ensure there is no background noise or turn off the mic.

Clothing: Preferably, clothing should be solid and contrasting colors.

File transfer: Dropbox or Google Drive is preferred. Currently, we are checking into YouTube links as an option.
