Photo & Video Uploads
Below this form are photo and video guidelines that help explain the types of pictures and videos that will most likely be used in promotional advertisements.
Please Note: Only one photo or video can be uploaded at a time.
This is intentional to prevent mass uploads of photos or videos at once. If you have lots of photos or videos to supply us with, please put them on a thumb drive and bring them to the office.
Photo Guidelines
Always send original full resolution photographs.
Images that have been texted or downloaded from social media sites, have been downsized to low-resolution formats.

Video Guidelines
Below are my takeawys from a great article about shooting video on a smartphone via the techradar website.

 Shoot horizontal, not upright
If you want people to be able to watch your video at full size on a monitor or TV screen, keep your smartphone horizontal when you are recording. Shooting a video clip with your phone upright doesn’t seem like an issue at the time because you’re watching it on a device with a vertical screen, but as soon as you want to play the video anywhere else, your clip will be fighting for space with two black bars on either side of the screen.
Mix it up
Although a video made up of a single clip might show what you intended, a video made up of many shorter clips often makes a more interesting watch. Think about what other shots you can get to complement your master shot. It can be as simple as shooting your subject both from close up and further away, or getting someone to repeat a performance (like a cartwheel) a few times so you can capture it from a variety of angles. You’ll end up with a better video as you’ll find better angles to shoot from.
Keep it smooth and steady
Your smartphone is small and light, but it can be held surprisingly steady. The key thing is to use both hands, and lock your elbows into your body for extra stability. Try it yourself, and you’ll see that although this won’t eliminate the small involuntary movements (or shaky hands!), at least these won’t put the viewer off like the sudden jolts you sometimes get from holding your phone one-Âhanded.
