Hello my name is Ghandi and I’m from Guatemala, I’m level 7 and I’m very happy to be a local guide, because it has helped me to see the need for people with disabilities to be able to go to a new place.
I’m very happy to have received the invitation for this event, because when I started I did not know what would happen, I’m excited and happy to know that I could go to meet more people who enjoy helping others. What I like about this community is that it does not matter what part of the world you are, what your language is, an image we can all understand and that’s great.

Hello @CalderonGhandi1 ,

That’s a nice script for an application video.

Here goes the steps I followed, I hope it will help you:

  1. Watch the video of other applicants: The easiest way to conquer your nervousness is to watch the video by other applicants. After seeing just one or two videos you will realize that it is very simple to make the video. You can see my one by clicking here. Here are some more from indonesia, india and spain.
  2. Think about what to say: There are two tricks on what to say: Honesty and Relevance.
    1. Honesty: Do not pretend to be someone you’re not. Say the things only what you think is true.
    2. Relevance: Speak about only two things: Why you’re a local guide and Why do you want to go to this summit. Be precise as 1 minute is not a long time to make a video.
  3. Pick the place and time: The background of your video is important. I chose my one to be “Shahid Minar” (It is the national monument for international mother language day on 21st feb). I shot my video at 6AM in the morning because of the lighting and the low background noise.
    You should give some effort in selecting this. Outdoor video makes your video look fun but indoors provide less background noise.
  4. Just start shooting: In the digital age shooting is free, right. Use this to your advantage. Start shooting and watch your video to do better in the next shot.
    I had to take 20 shots in my video before I selected the final one.
  5. Don’t overthink: This is an important step to make the previous steps successful. Don’t overthink about your video. Just be honest and start doing it.

I hope these steps will help you in making your video.

Feel free to contact me if you need any more help
