Lights, Camera, Action! Last minute submission video tips for hackers

Only 3 days left to enter your submission to the Codegeist Unleashed! 

The submission video needs time and care! That 5 minute video is often the first (and sometimes only!) thing that judges review. Your video tells the story behind your project, providing a clear avenue to showcase your software and talent. 

Prep your elevator pitch and don’t forget to include

  • How your project used AI and Atlassian’s Forge Platform
  • How the project fits in the category you selected
  • Why you chose your project and any problem it might address

Demo your project in a way that shows judges how real-world users will interact and benefit from it.

  • Time-saving Tip
    • Write out your script and practice it before you record to ensure you cover everything in the time limit
  • Pro(crastinator) Tip
    • We CANNOT stress this enough: Don't wait until the last minute to upload your video! Due to file size, format, and your Internet connection, uploading a video to Facebook Video, YouTube, Vimeo, or Youku could take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours
