Cap and uncap pens

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

Take a pen from a holder, uncap it, cap it and put it back. One round per clip.

Start: A capped pen standing in a holder or cup.

Record: Take the pen out, pull the cap off and hold both apart for a second. Then push the cap on until it clicks and put the pen back in the holder.

Done when: The pen is capped and back in the holder.

Also counts: Pens, markers, highlighters or glue sticks; a cup, jar or pencil case as the holder. Send as many clips as you like, changing the pen 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.
