Is anyone interested in video?

No, I didn't even know SingSnap had a blog. Pretty basic stuff in the advice that we already know, but good ideas for the less imaginative....Dinalydia

MY thoughts, just an interesting note none the less. Think we are too far into SS to write articles that are mute to most now. None the less I guess it is of value to the newbies.

I give you this to say that those who say a video is not necessary for songs. I believe if you have an important message or any message a video helps carry that forward to your audience....nothing makes that make more sense to me than this video I just saw. Something I would have never thought would come from a CeeLo Green sing.....just goes to show ya, there are still things that can surprise ya.

I appreciate the critiques on the blog. It is new, so I hope you bear with me as it grows. As to the "less imaginative", keep in mind that there are all levels of users here. The article was intended to get those who have never done video in front of the camera for the first time. The article stated that it was the first in a progressive series, for those "more imaginative", stay tuned.

Thanks so much Dina. I appreciate it very much! :)

A quote from Annie's blog ...

"Videos on SingSnap get on average, 6 times more views and comments than audio-only recordings. Simply put, they are just more entertaining."

I've found that to be true. And the video doesn't have to be anything special; just the personal touch of seeing the singer perform adds a lot. But there are all kinds of ways to enhance the entertainment value of video. Checking back on the posts to this thread will reap many tricks to better video, from camera angle, better lighting, costumes, props, backdrops and more.

My own interest in video runs to edited video along the lines you see in a music video. At times others have posted about making such videos, but the how-to often contains actions that violate SS Terms. I feel edited video has gotten a bad rap because of it. The truth is that one can do elaborate videos within the SS environment without breaking the rules. It's merely a matter of going about it the right way instead of the wrong way.

I agree with pls8xx...I think the Vids are great!...I tend to click on the 'watch & listen' ones.......when they see mine they can say "Is that what that old fella' looks like"...lol

And I was sharing the info...I follow each one you post, Annie, whether I already know the information or not.....My comment was merely that the promotion for the site is growing, which is a great thing and articles such as yours involves more people in moving towards some more creative processes that they may not have thought about. The contests that are being held by SS and the support of such a blog I think is really bringing people out of their shells to be more interactive here on SS and I think that is really great.
