Graham Well, you'll be pleased to know that as soon as the shows recommence my show/display partner and myself have a very interesting and very big diorama coming that will feature lots of your products and I'm sure will create a lot of interest when they're eventually on full display. This has taken a lot of time so far and we're only halfway through the project. We had a similar large display at the Telford/Peterborough Shows and the manufacturer of the products that we used was deluged with orders afterwards, and we know this for a fact! We do spread the word of their origin and it does pay off. I'm hoping this will do the same for you! Unfortunately these big displays do take a lot of time to do, but your up next so let's see how it works out! Jan_G and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamF Posted October 23, 2020 Author Share Posted October 23, 2020 Thanks Roy, Look forward to that. I appreciate it, I know how long it takes to get a model finished. There's 'finished' and there's getting it out the door, the two in my experience are miles apart! Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So borrow someone to do your voiceover from a script then! ... a bit of music in the background occasionally ... but vocal description of what is visibly going on in front of me helps keep me focused on what is being done ... the robotic IA ones turn me off straight away ... Speed up the cutting and sanding bits for sure - but always show your technique first - because everyone does it differently!! ... Take your time to show how the end result should look, the possible pitfalls at various stages and how to avoid them etc ... remembering that a lot of your viewers could be 1st time modellers or newbies to the conversion/correction game ... Theres a lot of tutorials out there also on how to make everything appeal from the title to the thumbnail used, to video length (it might be better to set it up as a series with a video edited and uploaded every 3 days or so - you could monetise it and made Ad revenue also!! ... think of your next potential project ... and do a production series from design through to product release ... the possibilities are endless!! ... and if you don't end up selling a lot of product from video's - maybe the Ad revenue will assist Rog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 You don't necessarily have to do a voice-over; sometimes text captions can be just as effective. Kev LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul2660 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 The problem with most Youtube videos is they break the 3 minute rule for videos. Most people will lose interest after 3 minutes and move on. And many people talk too much and take too long. The idea from Kevin is a good one of just using text captions. Many times you can get the entire message across just fine that way. Paul LSP_Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I've watched more than a few reviews on the tube, and for my money, engaging chat, in the form of what's what, is far more interesting to me than text, and far, far more interesting than stupid music of any sort. Pure music, with no chat or text, will have me looking for something else, pronto quicko. firefly7, Artful69 and Darren Howie 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you speak, you're hearing your voice resonating through the bones in your skull. Any recording changes that process fairly radically and - hence - the apparent weirdness of the recording. Chris.

Darren Howie Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I think a quick look at view counts on youtube vids shows any text based video is annihilated by voice over video. just think how exciting is it watching a subtitled movie with the radio going? There are some outstanding youtube modelling resources and none of them you text over voice.. Artful69 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
