A First Time for Everything - My First Video in front of the Camera

Making a videoI know videos have been around for a long time now and I have been in videos one time or two - always in family gatherings. Being in front of the camera is a little challenging to say the least. Worried what and how I say things - I remembered years ago when I took my first speech class in college and had to stand in front of the class and talk about a subject I researched. I was very nervous to say the least, but after a few speeches behind my belt, I became less nervous. "Practice makes Perfect"

Real estate and real estate marketing, especially online and video marketing has evolved in recent years and a lot of real estate agents still go about the old ways, i.e. direct mailings, print advertisement, etc. My online presence has grown since me joining Active Rain, still missing pieces to the puzzle - videos.

Folks been asking me about doing videos for some time now, suggesting videos about Lakeland Florida, Lakeland real estate, community events and such. It has been always on my mind and it is just getting over this challenge is a challenge in itself. Recently, I commented on Mike Mueller's video blog and he suggested to jump right in, get started and don't look back. The more videos you do, the better you get. "Practice makes Perfect"

 

So, here it is without further ado, my first video in front of the Camera - any suggestions?

Not bad for your very first attempt. I can barely figure out how to insert a video into my blog post.

Well done Petra!  Like anything new, it's awkward at first but gets easier each time thereafter.

Well done Petra! Mike is right that the best what to do it is to just jump in and go for it. You catually have a very good look for video. Much better than my ugly mug. Keep at it.

Hi Petra, once the apprehesion over the "first time" of anything is overcome, you are going to be much more relaxed the second time and the third and the fourth... Looking forward to seeing more of your video productions, I know they will be better each time!

Hannah - We just have to do it and get with it. I'm glad I could be your reminder :)

Melissa - putting the video into my blog was the easy part. If you need help there are tutorials here on AR to help you or give me a ring and I'll walk you through.

Patricia - very awkward to say the least

BB - The master of video productions - thank you for the compliment. Didn't you say that you rank #1 on google for the sexiest broker - no ugly mug for your #1 rank :)

Trey - Just like I replied to Melissa, give me a ring if you need help :)

Silvia - Yes, indeed they will get better.
