Welcome aboard! Here's how to make your video
It's quicker and easier than you think. Watch this short video first, then have a go.
(Yes I did film this on my phone 👇)
Keep it short and sweet
That's the whole job. Just 30 seconds or 3 to 4 sentences. Shorter is better.
30 seconds
3 or 4 sentences is plenty.
On your phone
Hold it upright (portrait).
You and your sax
Holding it, so we see you both.
Easy filming tips
- Face a window or lamp, so the light is on your face.
- Pick a quiet spot and hold your phone at eye level (or prop the phone something so both hands are free)
- Look at the camera and talk like you're chatting to a friend.
- Mostly talking is perfect. A few notes on your sax are fine too.
- Not happy with it? Just film another take.
Not sure what to say? Pick a starter
Choose one and finish the sentence in your own words. No script needed.
