“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?
