Developing the Script...
The development of the the script is as if not more important than branding. The script is the blueprint from which your video is built. One would never go about building a house without a blue print. Why build a video without a script? .

I recorded this video several weeks ago and had it setting in draft mode. I thought that I had posted it earlier...

Michael, the script is what weirds me out. I don't have a teleprompter and I do have a lame memory. LOL! I am planning to jump into the video scene though so keep bringing this great tutoring our way! Thank you!

BTW, are you using a green screen? I have so much to learn.

Michael - so true - be yourself and have fun with it. That's the best of advice for anyone who wants to do videos to promote and brand themselves. Thanks for the tips.

I agree Michael - you really should know ahead of time what you're going to say while having fun and being relaxed. Nothing is worse than when the person in the video looks nervous and uptight. (I'd be that uptight, nervous person - lol!)

On an inspection the other day I went into the basement to see a set up very, very similar to yours. Green screen and all.

What do you bet that seller did for a living?

Hi Michael - The script is what makes or breaks the video.

Having a well written script, and practicing the script will make a huge difference. Great points!

And you are looking mighty relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera Michael! And how did you settle down those Italian hands of yours? I love your smile and am anxiously waiting for the next in this series.

Michael - A good planned script is important so that there is a clear message on what you want to accomplish during the video. A directionless video or poorly designed video will drive many viewers away quickly.
