Summary: Gab & Jam Episode 86 Tips for Making Videos This episode is a part of our Blog-vember 2019 trifecta of three posts a day—a video, a podcast, and a blog post. This year the focus is tips for the D.I.Y. Rock Star. We developed these methods through our own decades worth of experiences. We’re happy to offer some ways that we have dealt with a variety of things and share what has helped us move forward in joy and with peace of mind. If these strategies help you, then we are happy. (Of course, if you prefer to listen to the podcast episode, click this link: ) The BIG Take-aways: I am going to piggy-back on what we said for the last episode about studio management. Our main video making tip is to “Keep it simple.” What I mean is that we have pared down to one camera for Blog-vember, so that there is less editing to do—Remember, we ARE putting up 3 posts a day—a video, a podcast, and a blog post—so the video needs to be short, sweet, and less complicated than normal to edit and publish. “Hit it. Quit it. Get on wit’ it!” If your goals are like ours, where video making is not your jam, but it’s just a means to an end, then you need to figure out how to do it effectively, but as efficiently as possible and still maintain your sanity. However, if you love editing (and the video making you do is a part of your creative process), then disregard this advice and enjoy as much shooting and editing as possible. Remember, to make time for what you have determined is important in your life. What do you think? What other ways should be added to our next list for tips for the D.I.Y. Rock Star?
