Lights, Camera, Action! Submission video tips for hackers

Only 3 days left to enter your submission to Codegeist!

The submission video needs time and care! That under 5-minute video is often the first thing that judges review. Your video should tell the story behind your project while showing off your app working to showcase the problem it solves.

Prep your elevator pitch:

How your project utilizes Atlassian’s Forge Platform
How the project fits in the category you selected
Why you chose your project and any problem it might address

Demo your project in a way that shows judges how real-world users will interact and benefit from it.

More Tips

Write out your script and practice it before you record to ensure you cover everything in the time limit
DO NOT wait until the last minute to upload your video! Due to file size, format, and your Internet connection, uploading a video to Facebook Video, YouTube, Vimeo, or Youku could take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours
