I've been thinking for a while that I need to re-arrange an area of my shop. The purpose, of course, is not only because of workflow and efficiency but also, for filming.
It seems to me that the next logical step, since I'm building unique instruments, is to document the builds. In my opinion it would be pretty awesome that someone buying one of my instruments can follow along an online series that documented said build.
I would like to say it would be the case for everything, but I fully anticipate it consuming a lot more of my time. I'll try however, to get good at editing and not make the videos too long or boring. A common mistake I see small builders make online.
One thing I'm wondering quite a bit about, is the style of video. Would it be best to do voice overs, asmr stuff, live commenting? I'm really not sure. I tend to think some people have what it takes to be more of a personality on camera, but some others seem to be in the way of the meat a potatoes of it all.
I guess experimenting is the only thing left.

Voiceover, or live commenting a-la LockPickingLawyer seems to work best unless you have a really good on-camera personality.
I dont think I do (on camera personality), but Ill try that first! ha!
I do like to see a neat workshop. I guess you built a lot of that yourself as you have the skills. Some sort of commentary on what you are doing is great. I see some videos, e.g. for guitar pedals, where they say nothing and I find that annoying. I want to hear some personality in a video.

I think my first attempts will be more like vlogs... but ill see what feedback I get on them. Cheers mate
Looking forward to seeing the videos! My only plea is for you to do a constant voiceover and leave the dreadful YT style 'music' on the cutting room floor!
Take care old fella and keep doing what you love, it's inspiration for all...especially me!
Best wishes @meno :-)
I'm annoyed by the lil music too... so no worries there
