Interactive Avatar Advanced Instructions

Last updated August 9, 2024

When creating your Interactive Avatar, we offer two options to record your footage:

  • Upload a Google Drive or local video file
  • Record with your computer's webcam

Please keep in mind that uploading your footage from a higher quality camera is the better option to create a higher quality avatar.

🎬 Filming Tips

  1. Camera Quality: While the back-facing camera of a modern smartphones is adequate to record footage, use a professional-grade camera for best results.
  2. Environment: Choose a quiet space with good lighting and a simple background without too much detail.
  3. Video Length: For an Interactive Avatar, we require you to submit 2 minutes of footage depicting the subject in three different ‘modes’: listening mode, idle mode, and speaking mode.
  4. Type of footage:
  1. Listening (15 seconds)
  2. Purpose: To show active engagement.
  3. Engage with facial expressions (e.g., raise eyebrows, smile) to demonstrate you are attentively listening.
  4. Talking (90 seconds)
  5. Purpose: To convey your message.
  6. Speak clearly and confidently, ensuring your message is concise and to the point.
  7. Idling (15 seconds)
  8. Purpose: To show attentive presence.
  9. Maintain a neutral expression and simply nod occasionally, without additional facial expressions.
  1. Resolution: We recommend filming in 1080p for higher avatar quality. 4K at 60FPS is even better.
  2. Continuous Shot: Do not edit or cut the footage in the middle. It should be a continuous shot.
  3. Stability: Stay still and avoid sudden head motions or unnatural body movements. Be natural and calm. Your avatar will perform exactly as you do.
  4. Eye Contact: Maintain direct eye contact with the camera at all times. Avoid looking around or up and down during the recording.
  5. Hand Movements: We recommend keeping your hands mostly out of frame while filming a Interactive Avatar. If you choose to include your hands in the footage, keep them below chest level, and try to keep them mostly in a clasped or still position. Do not make exaggerated gestures while filming.
  6. Pauses: Take pauses with lips closed between sentences and look at the camera.

Try to keep the same body-position for the whole 120 seconds of the input video!
