12:34Now PlayingAnswers to your questions. It's a long video, so here's a "Table of Contents" for you in case you want to skip ahead:
Production Tips
- Make videos first! Worry about gear later
- Before you buy lights, search for help on YouTube
- Editing is your friend - subtitles are great, because they can contain specs (pricing info) and reinforce info
- Overusing video effects is distracting
- Don't be afraid to shoot lots of video and edit down
Reviewing a Product
- Focus on what people use device for, but definitely show the new and innovative features
- Take notes while testing a gadget
- Know your specs!
- Music can make your videos more lively
- Focus on the gadget, remove the clutter
- Try shooting in different locations
- Be yourself...but be as entertaining as you!
- Keep it under 7 minutes if you can
Finding Your Style
- Try out different ideas and styles and see what works
- Try unboxings, reviews and comparisons (aka "dog fights")
Some ideas work, some don't keep experimenting! Visit for all the latest cell phone news, reviews, and more.
