VMI Alumni Association left you the following instructions:

Colonel John Brodie was named an Honorary Brother Rat of the Class of 1992, a tribute reserved for those rare personalities who invest selflessly in the cadets with whom they work. John’s devotion to the Class of 1992 and to all those who participated in the Regimental Band, VMI Commander’s Jazz Ensemble, Institute Brass, and the Glee Club, was evident throughout his career. In anticipation of his retirement from VMI after decades of service inspiring cadets to thrive, we are inviting you to record a personalized greeting to Col Brodie, which will then be shared to him and his family on the day of his retirement celebration.

Recording Tips:
  • You can record directly to ThankView on your desktop or mobile device.
    Make sure to film horizontally so you fill the frame.
  • Keep your device close for good sound quality but far enough away that you are the focus. Try 3-4 feet.
  • Consider shooting in a location your recipients may recognize.
  • Choose a location that provides balanced lighting. Try to find a room that has a lot of natural light.
  • Avoid blustery locations or areas with a lot of foot or vehicle traffic as your device’s mic may pick up noise.
Video Content Tips:
  • The content of your video is ultimately up to you. Make it funny, sweet, informative - whatever tone you want.
  • Create a video between thirty seconds and a minute to keep people engaged.
  • Be yourself and have fun!
