# Set a cup down with the handle facing a chosen side

$6/h for approved video; work and earnings are not guaranteed

Set a cup down with its handle facing a chosen side, then turn it back. One round per clip.

**Start:** A cup stands on the table, apart from the saucer, coaster or spot where it will go, with its handle facing some other way.

**Record:** Point at the side the handle should face (left, right, towards you or away). Pick the cup up, turn it, set it down on the spot and let go for a second. Then pick it up and put it back the way it started.

**Done when:** The cup stands where and how it did at the start.

**Also counts:** Any cup or mug with a handle, any shape or size; other things standing nearby; any starting direction. Send as many clips as you like, changing the cup, the side or the starting direction each time.

**How:** phone on your head (not on your chest or in your hand), both hands free and in view the whole time, good light. One continuous clip of one complete round, about 10-60 sec (max 90 sec). Start recording a few seconds before you begin and stop a few seconds after you finish. Keep the app open until it uploads. Keep faces and documents out of view.

**Can be declined if:** not first-person, phone held in a hand, hands out of view, the start or the result not visible, the round not finished, or too dark or blurry.
