# Thread beads or a lace

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

Thread 3-5 beads onto a string, then slide them off again. One round per clip.

**Start:** A string or lace and 3-5 beads on a table.

**Record:** Thread the beads onto the string one at a time and hold it up for a second. Then slide them off and put everything down.

**Done when:** The beads are off the string and everything is on the table.

**Also counts:** Beads, buttons, pasta tubes or washers; string, a shoelace or wire; lacing a shoelace through 3-5 eyelets and pulling it out. Send as many clips as you like, changing the beads or the string 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.
