Filming Instructions
1. Grab your Tiada.Guru sticker and head to a symbolic location
If the location is outside, ensure your phone / camera can work well in the location's lighting.
It may be nationally symbolic or personally symbolic. A non-exhaustive list of examples: your home, your desk, your child's room, your primary school, your university, a Court, a government building, a famous / scenic area near you. Go where your heart goes; we trust your choice.
Because of COVID-19's enormous risks, please do not put yourself at risk to film the video. Indoor videos are absolutely excellent and expected.
2. Hold the Tiada.Guru sticker by its edge—no need to peel the sticker
If the background is busier than you would like, you can create a natural bokeh ("blur") of the background. These two steps will achieve the blurred background naturally on almost any smartphone:
1) Bring the sticker close to the camera → tap to focus, and
2) Ensure the background far from the sticker.

This strategy works best in excellent lighting conditions, such as the videos above. You do not need any special camera mode; nearly all smartphones / cameras can achieve this effect.
3. Record one video vertically for 5 to 10 seconds
Remember the filming requirements while recording:
- Ensure your video resolution is at least 720p.
- Ensure the sticker is always readable, within the video frame, and in focus.
A little shorter or a little longer recording is all right.
4. Record one video horizontally for 5 to 10 seconds
⚠️ Remember to record this second video! ⚠️
It uses the same requirements as above.
5. Upload both videos to Dropbox below 👇
Unless you wish to remain anonymous, you may add your name: Dropbox will prompt you after selecting both files.
By uploading, you give full consent & rights to your videos to be used by the Tiada.Guru Campaign and the Freedom Film Network.
