On this page, we’ll teach you everything you need to know to film a professional intro video for your travel services on Thatch.

Seller Profiles now include a video intro as a way for potential clients to get to know you on a deeper level.

Services involve an extra level of trust, so this video helps potential clients in selecting the service provider who can best meet their needs and expectations. Plus, it allows you to show off your background, expertise, and personality!

Filming on your smartphone:

1. Clean the lens of your phone camera to ensure clear footage.
2. Choose a location with good lighting and minimal background noise. In front of a window or outside in the shade works great! For best audio be sure to avoid rooms/locations with a lot of echo.
3. Set up your phone on a tripod or stable surface. If you feel comfortable, you can also hold your phone.
4. If you have an iPhone, switch to “cinematic” mode and make sure your face is in focus.
5. Speak clearly and confidently, and try to show off your personality. Don’t be afraid to record multiple takes until you get the hang of it!
6. If you’d like to edit it any further, we consider using an app like CapCut - it comes with a huge array of free video, audio, text, and photo tools.
7. Before uploading, preview your video to make sure it looks and sounds good.
8. Once you're happy with the final product, upload it to your Seller Profile!

Remember, the goal of your intro video is to showcase your expertise and personality, so don't be afraid to let your unique qualities shine through!
