When you’re the one selling an Instructional Video, YOUR WAY is the Right Way.
Happy New Year, Jeremy!
Thanks, LIR. I'm looking forward to a whole new year of Great Sametime Statuses to share with you.
How about more of the same crap you usually do?
I can do that too!
So what's this instructional video you're watching? Writing Comedy For Dummies?
Over the holiday season, I came into possession of an instructional DVD on how to become a better volleyball setter.
Christmas present?
Not exactly...I lifted it from somebody's house. They weren't using it. Anyway...this DVD is the lowest-budget/quality piece of crap excuse for an instructional video ever. It showed hand technique in real-time from a single off-court camera. Even on the big screen of the Jeremy Megaplex 1, you couldn't even tell what the setter was doing. The narrator was a coach who didn't believe in editing, or a script, or Queue cards....or being interesting, for that matter. One of his most often used phrases (and I swear I'm not making this up) was "There's no RIGHT way to do it." BULL! If you're selling an instructional video, you need to be instructing me on the right way to do things. Even if technically, there are multiple correct ways of doing something...PICK ONE! Show some guts. If somebody else comes through with a different way, who cares? It's a little competition. Even if you're wrong and people disagree, who cares? They've already bought the video.
You didn't "buy" the video.
Hardly the point.
