Video 2

“Happy Birthday” FIWARE Foundation in a group setting (in English).

  • Have you got most of your colleagues back in the office? Good, gather them around and you’re all set!
  • Not quite there yet? How about next time you all meet online, over Zoom or any other channel?
  • Kindly upload your video here.

Important: You may pick one category to record the video for, or send us both. The more the merrier!

  • Choose a bright, good looking and noise-free ambience to record the video;
  • Give a reasonable space between your head and the top of the screen frame;

  • Record the video horizontally;
  • Place the camera close to you for better audio;
  • For the group picture, make sure that every member of the team can be fully seen in the frame before recording;
  • Look at the camera at all times;
  • Repeat the sentence if you mumble/have trouble speaking;
  • Try to keep looking at the camera (naturally - with a smile, if possible) for some seconds before you end the recording.

Why not add a fun element to your recording? Some examples for you to keep in mind, please.

  • A Red Hat representative with a red hat on; how about a superhero cap? a party horn/party blower? Happy Bday singing with a birthday cake in front of you? Why not? The sky is, literally, the limit when it comes to how creative you can be!
  • Do you collect FIWARE items such as T-shirts, certificates, key holders, a Summit badge perhaps? why not incorporate them into the recording?
