Video Blogging

Home Stager with The Dovian Group, LLC

Hello my active rain friends,

Just made my first video blog. It's actually a video that I made to post on a business partners website.  Would you all take a look and let me know what you think?  Please don't throw fruits and vegetables!

Thanks in advance,

Anita

Good first video, Anita.  You are very charming, especially when you smile.  Keep making the videos.  Each one will be better.

Congratulations, Anita-- the first one's always the hardest! I did 7 trips to my destination before I released it. The only recommendation I have would be to center the background more

That was very good Anita.  I heard a bit of an echo but it wasn't bad.  Speaking of staging, the picture in the video was off set, but I do understand you don't want the viewers paying more attention to the staging than the stager! Great job.  1000 times better than my first one...

Thanks Bob, Barb, Cathy and Evelyn,

I am working on blogging and v-logging more often.  It gives potential clients a feel for who I am as opposed to words on a page.

I dont' remember how many times I shot this but it's better than exercising my usual analysis paralysis as my husband says and doing nothing.

I smile often, no matter how rough things are it could certainly be worse.

I'm standing in the stairwell and trust me the woman in the painting is stunning, I'm not competing with her!

Anita, this is a great idea.  As you mentioned, it's much more intersting to hear the benefits of staging from an actual person, rather than just reading a list.  You're charming personality is really shining through.

Lovely to see you, Anita!  I'm no expert, but I think the camera should NOT be looking down on you.  Perhaps it's better at eye level?  Keep 'em coming!  Julie

Sally, Hi thanks for the encouragement.

Julie,  The camera angle was intentional. I assure you, next time it will be different!  Thanks everyone.  I'll shoot another one next week.

Great video. Only tip for the future, try not to look too scared. Sometimes you look like you are afraid of the camera, and you shouldn't, you look great!
