Campaign video tips #
- Don’t make it long! 1-2 minutes is plenty
- It does not have to be professionally done – for most campaigns, a smartphone is all you need
- The one exception to this is if you’re running a large (>$50,000) professional creative crowdfunding campaign on Crowdfundr for a big project. In this case, professionalism is more important.
- Don’t stand in front of a busy background, but also don’t use a boring background. Try going outside on a nice day, in a park or quiet place in town with a nice background that doesn’t draw too much attention away from you.
- Include your main story points
- Do NOT forget the call to action! You’re asking supporters to contribute (and, more than likely, to share the campaign as well), so ask!
