Dear Colleagues! So far we have only one brave Councillor! Ajay is the only one who has sent his video. Please (please, please!) do not be too shy! Make a video recording and send it to me or Kim. Now we have instructions from the organisers to make things easier for you: Our Hamburg event is coming up, and in preparation we'd like to ask you to provide us with a short video clip starring... yourself. How Record yourself using you smartphone (video + audio!) You do not have to edit your recording, just send the raw material and we will edit it into the show layout. What (1) Look into the camera, say hi and tell us your name & country you're joining us from (2) Strike a pose (Think "The game is on!" whilst you do it :-) (3) Show us one cool dance move When Please send this recording by Monday 12th. Some tips * Use the highest recording setting on your camera (HD of 4K if possible) * Put the camera in a stable spot, and try to have it at the same height as your eyes (you will look better J) Lighting: * Make sure we can clearly see your face * Do not stand with your back to the window (the background will be too bright) * Do not shine a light directly on your face, there will be too many shadows. Instead, stand facing a window (ideally, with a white curtain to make the light softer), or shine the light on a white wall or ceiling. * If you see a lot of 'grain' or 'noise' in the image, you need more light overall. Audio: * Do not stand too far from your camera * Make a test recording and listen to it. * If there is too much noise, echo, or if you sound as if talking from far away: Use earphones with an inline microphone (the kind you get with the smartphone to make calls with) Image: * Film in horizontal landscape mode if possible * Try to avoid using the front facing camera (only possible if you have somebody to help you with the recording of course) * Do not use the digital zoom of your camera (move the camera to make yourself bigger/smaller, do not use pinch-to-zoom) When you are speaking, look to the camera lens (not to the phone/screen). Take your time, remember to smile, and have fun!

Dear Colleagues, For the ccNSO Cocktail, we need pictures or video (preferred option!) of 10-12 bravest people! Please take a very short video (e.g. saying Hello and wishing great ccNSO Cocktail) and send it to me or Kim by the end of this week! I am not sure I am allowed to disclose what will happen to those videos/pictures (I am not well informed myself, to be honest) but I am sure they will not be uncontrollably posted on FB, Instagram, Tik Tok or any other platform. THANK YOU FOR YOUR BRAVERY! Regards, ]{atrina
