What do you include in the Brown video introduction?

Hey everyone, with Brown's application, they're asking for a video introduction, and I'm kinda stressing about it. How creative should I get, and are there any lowkey examples or tips you might have? Definitely don't wanna overdo it, but I also wanna stand out.

Hello there! The Brown video introduction is really an opportunity for you to let your personality shine. You don't need to make a full-scale production, but a little creativity can go a long way. Showcase what's not in your application. For example, if you have a particular talent, hobby, or passion project, you could briefly show that in the video. It's also a good idea to explain why Brown's open curriculum and community are a perfect fit for you. Keep it natural and succinct — think of it as a verbal version of your college essay but with some personality. Avoid repeating information that's already in your application, and instead add depth to your interests or highlight a new side of you. Lastly, make sure to film in a quiet, well-lit space where you're the main focus. Best of luck!
