Maybe I should... so I did.
Out of the blue I received the following LinkedIn message, or as I like to say, âthe dareâ â
âgpe ! saw your latest post. Sooner or later you are going to end up on a business video on the airplane entertainment system. Best wishes...â *
Some would say it was nothing other than acknowledgement of one of my blog posts or maybe a humorous idea never to be realized. For me, knowing who wrote it, I saw it as a an idea to be capitalized on, if only to try and make it happen â Iâd show him. Although I admit there are a couple of hurdles Iâd need to overcome. Probably the biggest is I donât like having my picture taken (let alone live action), and was it even feasible I could make a video without throwing up? (Let alone offer anything that is of interest and develops my brand)
Looking for inspiration, I turned to my file of inspirational quote and came up with this â
âThe most effective way to do it is to do itâ **
So I didâŠ
Production values
My âlongishâ hair ***
The background
The camera angle (although I was trying to be creative)
Could I endure being in front of the camera?
Could these videos be done in one take?
Was I "sensicalâ?
Could I develop something that I could used in my âmarketing mixâ?
As mentioned, I filmed three videos but had to discard one because I missed a line that was important to the central theme of the story I was telling. The other two are attached for your entertainment (and comment) because how these videos are received will become an important determination for what comes next.
Will I become the king of airplane entertainment? Who knows? What I do know is you have to start somewhere.

*I have modified the quote slightly to protect the innocent
**Amelia Earhart said this
***I got a hair cut two days after making these videos and look much better

Graham, Glad to help. Try both ways. I've been told I'm good on stage and audio but because I like edited words I sometimes don't have enough time to write a piece, rehearse it and make it come alive. I'm doing more "off the cuff" Q & A sessions to build up this capability.

Great advice Jerry Fletcher... I will make another with all the input I have gotten and see how it turns out. I definitely don't get the same enjoyment out of it as I do with my 500 words. Definitely will check out the video editing software. Thx
