Important: Since each video is limited to a maximum of 25 minutes, there is no need to perform treatments on both sides of the body (right/left). Instead, it's much better to move to other areas and showcase more techniques and positions.

Before recording and uploading, please practice your performance program multiple times. Clear your workspace of obstacles and distractions to create a beautiful environment. Let both yourself and the client look their best. Choose a nice background music (BGM) to make the viewing experience pleasant and engaging for the audience.

Note: This is a video performance and not a clinical treatment. You must do your best to entertain and impress the judges with your unique massage style, design skills, and special consideration for your clients

  • The video should be shot in landscape orientation.

  • Video length: 30-35 minutes. Longer videos will result in disqualification.

  • Frame rate: 60p is recommended, but 30p is acceptable.

  • The entire performance must be shot continuously 'uncut' with one or multiple cameras. Editing should not disrupt the performance timeline.

  • Image manipulation, such as filters or flashy transitions, is not allowed.

  • Cameras must be fixed on a tripod or similar for most of the performance duration.

  • The entire massage table, the client, and the therapist must be visible for most parts of the performance.

  • Use close-ups or moving cameras sparingly, only to allow judges to see important details more clearly.

  • The main light source should be placed on the same side as the camera to prevent the image from being overexposed.

  • Do not position yourself between the client and the camera. Always show your front or profile to the camera.

  • Do not add background music (BGM) to the video. If BGM is necessary during recording, remove it in post-production

Single camera

You can create beautiful footage with a single camera, and sometimes its simplicity can evoke even more emotion.

Note: When shooting with a single camera, you should make an effort to create more appealing scenes. Ensure a clean background, position good lighting behind or to the side of the camera, and shoot with the camera placed diagonally over the scene.

Here is a good example using a single camera. Wannipa Wipatothai won a silver medal at the 2021 Norway Championship with this footage. This camera placement is highly effective and allows judges to clearly see your performance for evaluation.

<Judging Format>

The 'Top-Bottom Cut System' Adoption

In each division, 6-8 judges will evaluate on a 10-point scale based on the criteria mentioned above.

 

To calculate the evaluation score, we will exclude the highest and lowest scores from the total points given by each judge and then calculate the average of the remaining scores. This method is used to avoid a situation where the scores of a particular individual have a direct impact on the final evaluation when there are a small number of judges in a division, aiming to ensure fairness.
