Recording Instructions

How to get the best quality recordings

• Sit a comfortable distance from the screen - you should be able to see the whole screen without moving your head.
• Turn on the camera app on your phone, make sure its on video
• Use the main camera, not the selfie camera
• Turn on the flash light on your phone
• Position the phone camera close to the eye to be recorded - around 2-3in or 5-8cm. Use a tripod or prop the phone up against a pile of books or similar
• The phone should be below your eyeline slightly and angled up
• If possible let someone check that your whole eye/eyes is clearly visible
• Keep your head as steady as possible during the animation - preferably by resting your chin on a surface or holding your head in your hands
• Start the recording on your phone before starting the animation
• Follow the dot or pattern with your eyes as closely as possible, blinking as little as possible
• Once the animation finished, stop the recording device
• Watch the video to check that your eye is as clear as possible throughout
