Celebrating our people

The people of HarbourVest are what makes us a great firm. And we want to celebrate our people through imagery. Not only does this bring us together as a company, but photos can also show the outside world what a great place HarbourVest is to work.

Tips for recording videos on your webcam

  • Wear a solid, dark top
  • Place the camera as eye-level as possible
  • Have your talking points in front of you, if applicable
  • If you need to re-record a sentence, take a 3-5 second pause and restart the sentence. Separate takes can be edited together
  • If using an external microphone make sure it is out of the frame, you can tilt its head upward to make sure it catches your audio
