For resource persons and talents:
* Confirm way in advance your schedule for video shoot
* No green wardrobe please. The background screen is already green. Blue and white are not encouraged. Other plain natural colors are most suitable for the camera.
* Avoid wearing clothes with patterns.
* Please avoid wearing glasses, as they might reflect studio lighting. 
* Wear some make-up 
* Bring your presentation materials or send them to DILC in advance for comments.
* Highly recommended: practice with your script and slides. Time yourself. 
* To simulate looking at the camera, practice in front of the mirror ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoIpebUL3A0 more on the point of practice])
<br /><br />

==Live Lecture==
* Use monitor facing the speaker so s/he doesn't have to turn to the screen to check or read the slides.

<br /><br />

==Slides==
Slides will be incorporated into the video and should be engaging. We suggest that the slides will have the ff:
* title font between 38-44 pts
* body font between 30-34 pts. If you expect your slides or video to be projected in a large hall, use bigger fonts.
* high contrast pictures and letters or texts
* make charts, graphs and the likes occupy the whole slide  
* If the slides are so numerous, group them into 20-minute segments or parts. Recommended: introduce each segment or part in relation to other parts and the overall topic.
* [http://www.colour-affects.co.uk/the-colour-affects-system an appropriate color scheme]
* save presentation file as .ppt or .pdf and send it to DILC way ahead of time.
<br />
Slides are visual support to what you're saying. They do not explain themselves. Nor are they meant to be read like some karaoke lyrics.
