Video is definitely a part of our everyday life, helping us learn everything from high-tech strategies, audition techniques, to beauty tips. In fact, this morning I actually got ready watching a YouTube tutorial on how to do a certain hairstyle I was trying to accomplish #helpmyhair. Video has remained one of the easiest forms of communication and it can help you gain a strong following if you put some thought in. If you don’t think about it and just film all willy nilly, than your lack of presentation and thought is like walking into an audition without having showered for a week and the green fuzz in your teeth is about to be your only friend. The below tips are for producing video content that you feel will represent you in your finest light. This is not meant for that quick and dirty Periscope moment where you are showing people behind the scenes footage.

IS PERISCOPE GOOD FOR BUSINESS? 5 Top Tips To Get The Best From Periscope     Guest Blog Post By Amazon Best Selling Author Victoria Rose   As a Leadership Trainer with over three decades of experience in talking to people for days on end, surely live broadcasting should be relatively easy? Having faced both large and small audiences, some hostile, some friendly, one would think I was well prepared for Periscope. Not so. Even the learning curve of producing my own videos for the last three years does not compare to a Periscope live broadcast (called a Scope). Whilst I finally got the cringe factor down from a 10 to a four when editing my videos, live broadcasting takes the cringe-factor to a whole new level of cringe.   It’s all because of that four letter word … “LIVE”    Why? No chance to edit out the bad bits like you can with a video. No slide-show to keep you on track and no ability to control the questions like you can with a face-to-face workshop. Those constant, often irrelevant, questions and comments moving up the screen as you enthusiastically speak your words of wisdom can really throw you off track.

Look at how long it took TV to take over households back in the 1950’s when radio was the major medium for most households. I believe TV gained 50% adoption five years less time than radio did. Video today is getting  a massive lift due in part that Social Media is allowing video to be part of postings. Many who are in the video business have been watching this bubble grow larger each and every year and some people say that video will take over the internet in the next five years or less. It helps that bandwidth speeds have gone up and providers are allowing the bandwidth to go through cable but also through the air using many mobile devices that are in the market today.   Virtual Reality (VR)   The future is here - users can now be in a room at their home or office and be able to place an object lets say a motorcycle and be able to rotate and actually manipulate the object in anyway the user decides. If you remember Star Trek and some other TV shows in which you can change the environment that they are in and be able to share that with others to...
