Recording or videoing presentations

I’d like to share something in a fresh post which

said in a response to a post of mine yesterday, and for good reason.

After I had posted that my presentation to a number of local business people had gone well yesterday morning, Mike asked if I had a videographer present.

I’ll admit that I immediately thought that would have been overkill, with this being my first attempt.

But...

Mike went on to say "... then you can get it on YouTube as a long form, create dozens of shorts for social media - these will last for ever and can be an amazing investment when targeted… some of the best audiences will never be in the room - take it to them by capturing it."

Yes!

Mike, I really appreciate that, and so I raised it as an idea within that local group, only to find that I had some favourable responses from some of the members, but less enthusiastic responses from the powers-that-be who deemed it impractical on the basis of sound quality, the setting up and editing efforts required, and... well they didn’t see how it could be workable.

And my thoughts?

Well apart from hoping for more of a "can do" response from the organisers, I have seen early wobbly distorted footage of people like Paul Brunson, etc., which also makes for less than ideal viewing, but it's a start. And if nothing else, it gives the presenter some feedback on things like posture, speed, engagement with the audience, etc.

So just like we hear from the best of the best out there, whether it be Alex Hormozi and his former videographer Caleb Ralston, or any of a ton of other people who are successful in business, thought leadership., etc (Mike included), we have to start somewhere and (in the words of the great and the good) be prepared to suck at it until we get better.

So next time... and there will be a next time... even in the absence of a videographer, I’m going to at least take my own gear, set it up, break it down, and splice and dice what gets recorded.

I know that Mike uses the services of

(I hope you don’t mind the plug, Chris), but have any of you approached this in your own way, and how?
