• Script 1: Lemonaid Health has been a
huge help in managing my mental health needs. After giving my history and filling out the questionnaire, the hardest part was over. They made it easy to find the right antidepressant medication for me, and automatically ship me my prescription each month. The Lemonaid team listens to what I need and makes sure to go the extra mile to work with me toward getting better. I am so glad I found Lemonaid!
• Script 2: Lemonaid has been a life-
changing service in helping me manage my anxiety. All it took was talking oneon-one with an experienced doctor, reviewing their recommended treatment options, and finding the personalized solution that best met my needs. They care about how I feel, and even adjust my treatment plan as needed to make sure it’s still working for me. Lemonaid has brought some much needed relief to my life.
• Filming requirements: Space/Attire:
Don’t have any brand logos in frame (clothing, wall art, coffee cups, etc.) Background should be natural at home or outside setting. This should appear as if you were talking to a friend. No need to film with a set backdrop. But please make sure the scene is clean and not distracting. Avoid wearing patterns. Avoid showing any microphones - we want this to feel as natural as possible while still being high quality. If chosen, this will be the final video footage used - make sure your attire and space represents both you and Backstage well!
• Filming: Make sure lighting is on your
face. Avoid backlighting by having any windows in front of you. Film so that you can be cropped both vertically (imagine Instagram stories) and horizontally (imagine YouTube). Recommend filming in landscape but having plenty of room on both sides to be cut vertically. If needed, we can accept two takes with different camera orientations. Make sure sound quality is high by turning off any fans, closing any windows, and/or turning away from the mic when talking. Do not edit footage - we will want all the raw takes to properly edit footage together. Avoid cutting footage or adding any background music. If reading from a prompter or script, please keep camera eye contact for a few seconds after a line before looking back at a script or try and memorize to speak more lines at a time. This helps in editing as we would like these videos to look as natural as possible.
• Pays $150 for video footage use in
perpetuity.
