To commemorate Beverly "Bev" Greenberg's 50th year of teaching at Francis W. Parker School, the school is collecting personal videos of well wishes and memories to give to Greenie throughout the year. To help us celebrate this significant anniversary, please submit a personal video to Greenie.

Recording Tips:
- You can record directly to ThankView on your desktop or mobile device.
Make sure to film horizontally so you fill the frame. - When recording with a phone or tablet, use a tripod or prop it up with something like books for stability. Try not to hold it.
- Keep your device close for good sound quality but far enough away that you are the focus. Try 3-4 feet.
- Consider shooting in a location your recipients may recognize.
- Choose a location that provides balanced lighting. Try to find a room that has a lot of natural light.
- Record with the window facing you so you benefit from the natural light. If the window is behind you, you will appear shadowed.
- Avoid echo chambers. Oftentimes sparse offices or conference rooms with glass walls can create a lot of echoes.
- Avoid blustery locations or areas with a lot of foot or vehicle traffic as your device’s mic may pick up noise.
Video Content Tips:
- Be sure to say your name (first and last) at the beginning of the video. Additionally, add the year you or your loved one had Greenie as a teacher, if applicable.
- This is a personal video for Greenie. The content of your video is ultimately up to you. Make it funny, sweet, informative - whatever tone you want.
- Be yourself and have fun!
