As posted to MTurk: Record brief video of yourself chatting

Show Yourself Chatting

I need a video of you chatting with someone off-camera.  (The other person does not have to exist; you may pretend!)  Your audio will be deleted, but you must keep your words family-friendly, in case someone can read your lips.  Needless to say, your appearance must also be family-friendly, i.e., no nudity, etc.

I need at least 30 seconds of raw (unedited) video as follows:

  • At least 10 seconds of you looking directly at the camera.  Half the time, you are "listening":  Nod your head, smile, react, but don't say anything.  The other half of the time, smile and speak enthusiastically.  Use your hands animatedly if doing so is natural for you and the way you usually speak.
  • At least 10 seconds of the same, with you looking off-camera, slightly to the right.
  • At least 10 seconds of the same, with you looking off-camera, slightly to the left.

I will retain full rights to your work, which means that I have the right to do whatever I please with it, including nothing.

Send the video to me, David.Beroff (at) gmail.com, using the YouSendIt.com service.

After you have done this, enter your email address here so that I know which email came from you:

<input ... >

I will of course not use your email address for anything other than this task. 

Thank you!

I think I can help out with this. Anything background setting wise that you're concerned about or looking for?

I'm falling behind on my end, too, so if you need more time, that's fine. It's all good! :-) Thanks again.
