Shoutout KUA is a project to collect and share video messages of gratitude to and from members of the KUA community as part of One Day. One KUA., Kimball Union Academy's Day of Giving. It is a celebration of generosity and gratitude by KUA's global community of alumni, family and friends!
To participate, just record a video shoutout thanking someone in the KUA community for the gifts of time, talent, treasure, or care that they have given to you. These videos will be compiled and played at All-School Meeting on our Day of Giving, April 11th, 2024, and shared online.
Use the "Record Video" or "Upload a Video" options (right) to capture and submit your message. This will work on your desktop, tablet or phone. Your message does not need to be long; it can be as short as 5-10 seconds.
This is your chance to let everyone know the good that someone special in the KUA community has done and what it meant to you!

Recording Tips:
- You can record directly to ThankView on your desktop or mobile device.
Make sure to film horizontally so you fill the frame. - When recording with a phone or tablet, use a tripod or prop it up with something like books for stability. Try not to hold it.
- Keep your device close for good sound quality but far enough away that you are the focus. Try 3-4 feet.
- Consider shooting in a location your recipients may recognize.
- Choose a location that provides balanced lighting. Try to find a room that has a lot of natural light.
- Record with the window facing you so you benefit from the natural light. If the window is behind you, you will appear shadowed.
- Choose a flattering angle for your recording. Shooting from below is not usually a person’s best angle.
- Avoid echo chambers. Oftentimes sparse offices or conference rooms with glass walls can create a lot of echoes.
- Avoid blustery locations or areas with a lot of foot or vehicle traffic as your device’s mic may pick up noise.
- Avoid wearing something extremely bright as it will wash you out on camera. Also, make sure it’s something you won’t regret in six months!
