Here are instructions to help the beta testers get a running start on recording their videos:
 
# Watch some of the [http://flickr.com/photos/zak/sets/72157612984690925/ sample videos]
# Brainstorm your own answers to the question of, '''"What is one way that the Internet has changed my life?"''' Your answers should be:
#* '''personal''' - true statements about how the Net changed you and your life
#* '''short''' - one or two sentences taking between 3 and 12 seconds of video total
#* '''simple''' - focus on one idea or change per video. Statements like, "I learned to program and got a great job" should be split into two statements of, "I learned to program" and "I got a great job"
#* '''native''' - use any language you are fluent in
# Choose the best answers.
# Make a few test recordings to get warmed up. If you don't have a video recording setup in place, try one of the online tools mentioned below.
# Try recording 5 or 6 (or as many as you like) videos.
# See the [[#tips | tips]] below for ideas on improving your videos.
