1. Don your costume, props, makeup, and really get into character.
2. Use your phone or digital camera — no videotape please! — and record a 15 to 60 second clip.
3. Use portrait mode (when you can) and fill the frame as best you can. Have someone hold the camera, or prop it up — we want to see the entire costume.
4. Be well lit, but keep the light behind the camera. Avoid bright lights in the picture; the camera will try to compensate by making you too dark.
5. Introduce yourself: name, age (if you want to), and what Mensa group you’re from (if not CAM).
6. Tell us your costumed identity. If there’s a pun or joke, then explain it just as you would in person.
7. Feel free to ham it up, or give it a twirl!

After creating your video, complete the Costume Parade Video Entry form. The form will enable you to upload your video.

Be sure to complete the form and upload no later than Sunday, October 25th, but try to submit it as soon as possible to give our WeeM Videomaster ample time put together the compilation of all the costume videos.

The form requires you to indicate whether anyone in the video is under 18. If that’s the case, please check "No" so your video precedes the adult videos, some of which may not be suitable for younger or more sensitive audiences.
