Video Contest – Can You Help Me?

April 26, 2012

I want to show you an example of a simple video that I put together for a contest.  It’s with the Asian restaurant, Pei Wei, and the winner will document and report on their head chefs’ trip to Asia. It would be a great chance to travel and tell some stories.

Entries had to be less than 3 minutes, show personality, and talk about your love of food and travel. It’s a challenge but you don’t grow unless you challenge yourself.

My video application is at: http://peiweiinspirasia.com/Home/?userContentId=bdf97c05-9d0d-4b9b-8fea-a2b2c40e16cf#player

When you have a chance take a look and then hit the thumbs up button if you feel so moved.

I think this trip would be a great experience and I’m looking for all the “social media love” and support I can get.

Take care,
Ken


A Tale of Two YouTube Videos

January 22, 2012

Below you’ll see two videos that I’ve produced. Both were shot with the same equipment. The difference is the length and the amount of time spent editing the clips.

Both clips have strengths and weaknesses. Before you approach a video project, think about what you want. If your vision is too broad, you’ll likely waste time and money.

 


Videos and Humor

June 15, 2011

It can be tempting for nonprofits to bombard their audiences with lots of facts in their YouTube videos.  Resist the urge.  You love all the facts associated with your good work but others will be overwhelmed in a short attention span world.

Here’s a short clip I put together for my speaking business.  Basically I’m having some fun with my first name.  The idea is to make the viewer want to know more about you.

Try to find similar hooks for your organization.  What will make them stop what they’re doing and listen to you and want to know more.
