The Guidelines
The more authentic, the better. Imperfections are the point.
Location
Outdoors. Real life. Natural light.
- Film outside whenever possible. Sunlight beats any setup
- Parking lot before/after a shift
- Sidewalk near the job site
- Park, courtyard, or open area nearby
- Trucks, equipment, city streets in the background
- Offices, blank walls, dark interiors
- Break rooms
- Anything that looks staged or set up
Movement = authenticity
Don't stand still and talk at the camera.
- Walking somewhere
- Heading to or from a job
- Grabbing something from your truck
- Light, natural motion
- Frozen in place
- Tripod-style locked shots
Point of view
Selfie-style only. Vertical video.
- Selfie-style recording only
- Casual eye contact, not 'presenter mode'
- Vertical (social-ready)
- Embrace imperfections: slight shake, looking away, natural pauses
- Horizontal video
- Tripod or gimbal setups
- Stiff, posed framing
How to talk
Friend-to-friend. Not corporate.
- Talk like you're convincing a friend to work here
- Casual, honest, conversational
- Mess up a sentence? Keep going. That's the gold
- Scripts or memorized lines
- Buzzwords or 'ad voice'
- Reading from notes
What to talk about
Pick whatever feels real. You don't have to hit it all.
- Why you actually like working here
- What surprised you (in a good way)
- How the company treats people
- Why it beats other places you've worked
- Who this job is perfect for
- Why you've stayed / plan to stay
- Reading anything
- Overly polished language
- Listing benefits like a brochure
Gear & appearance
Real beats perfect.
- Partial gear or casual workwear
- “On the way to work” or “just finished” look
- Full gear is fine if it feels natural for the moment
- Photoshoot energy
- Full uniform staged for the camera
Length
Authentic > perfect timing.
- Aim for 30–60 seconds
- If it runs long but feels good, that's okay
- 5-minute monologues
- Two-second clips
