Yes (video submission)
Please create a short video (no longer than 5 minutes) answering the following questions:
• While you were growing up, what aspects of your home felt modern?
• What technological trends do you think will most dramatically impact the way the modern home runs in the future?
• What aspects of the home do you feel are most in need of modernization? Using current and / or near-future technology, how would you modernize it?
Below are a few other tips for your submission:
• The video should be a maximum of 5 minutes long.
• Video production quality counts. Don’t film on portrait (unless you have a good reason).
• Don’t simply talk into a web cam or your cell phone for 5 minutes straight. Mix it up a bit with interesting elements, change shooting angles, and use creative graphics to help engage the viewer.
• Don’t read off of an obvious script in front of you.
• Make it fun!
