Pro tips for expressing your gratitude with video
Follow these best practices to create a thoughtful thank you video that showcases your thanks and appreciation.
Make it short and sweet
When it comes to showing your gratitude in a video, keep things short. Keep a target of just one or two minutes in length to get your message across. Have fun with it! If you’re making a short video to say thanks to someone—whether they’re your neighbor down the street or a friend halfway across the world—everyone wants to feel appreciated.
Include photos or videos of the person you’re thanking
If you’re creating a video to thank your best friend or family member, consider using personalized footage of your favorite memories with them. This will make your thank you video more like a living album for memories with the people you care about.
Use a script, but make it personal
If you’re filming yourself for your thank you video, there’s nothing wrong with using a script to guide your video and message. In fact, it’s encouraged to know what you want to say before you start filming. However, authenticity is key. Speak directly to who you’re thanking in a genuine way. Rather than reading from your script, practice walking through your video before you film to get comfortable with your message.
