bursche -> Lessons (Mar. 10 2013 1:30:13)

Hey guys I'm planning to start a lesson/workshop programme and thought I'd share the advert I filmed for this with you. I'll post it again in the classifieds once the corresponding website is done. Any advice about the organisation?




Leñador -> RE: Lessons (Mar. 10 2013 1:49:27)

No criticisms from me, that was great. Really dug that SPB bit, that was crazy.



rombsix -> RE: Lessons (Mar. 10 2013 2:37:50)

Check out all the websites with such lessons (Jason, Pedro, José), and try to do something they haven't done yet... You will surely need to be in HD to be able to keep up with the times I guess. Good luck!



Ramirez -> RE: Lessons (Mar. 10 2013 5:08:56)

I always enjoy your videos and contributions to the foro.
You're a fine player and always inspiring to watch.
Great to see that you're putting these lessons together - they look fantastic.

I disagree, Ramzi. Every musician is unique and Bursche has something different to offer (as does anyone offering lessons) just by sheer virtue of his individuality as a player.

Really lookining forward to seeing your website when it's ready.



por medio -> RE: Lessons (Mar. 10 2013 6:18:28)

For me the best form of advertisement is inspiration. Your playing certainly inspires me!

Assuming you are offering pre filmed video lessons, then main thing is to cross reference so people with different needs can find the same film.

eg makes sense to have videos broken down by palo, with submenus for compas, falsetas, etc for each one, but also cross reference by technique. You might offer an alzapua lesson which happens to be por Solea, so the learners might find that useful whether they are looking up Solea material or if they are specifically looking for an alzapua lesson.



bursche -> RE: Lessons (Mar. 10 2013 10:03:49)

I'll definitely start to provide video lessons later but this clip is just to promote weekend classes in my city. It'll be a 3 hour course and the topics will be Bulerías and SolxBul. That's why it's in the video. This way I want to see how the response is before getting an own domain etc. and putting money into a fancier website.



rogeliocan -> RE: Lessons (Mar. 10 2013 12:48:13)

Holy crap! I am always impressed by how well some members play.
Really good playing.



Erik van Goch -> RE: Lessons (Mar. 10 2013 14:11:13)

You most certainly know how to play :-)



kudo -> RE: Lessons (Mar. 10 2013 14:55:29)

You are awesome man en todos sentidos ![:)]



edguerin -> RE: Lessons (Mar. 10 2013 14:57:34)

Great advert! Even greater playing !!
Two points I'd like to make:

  • tell your potential customers what level you expect (from the quality of your playing I'd
    think it's a "Meisterklasse" [;)])
  • make the closing credits about two to three times as long, so you can read the entries before they
    disappear from the screen


Wish you good luck with what looks like a fantastic project.

If he's going to be creating a website with video lessons, he has to head my advice which is backed up by the experience of how the three artists' websites I mentioned have become...



bursche -> RE: Lessons (Mar. 10 2013 15:04:25)

It's true. Sooner or later I have to face the fact that reality is now presented in high definition.



Ricardo -> RE: Lessons (Mar. 10 2013 15:19:56)

looks good....i personally prefer in color vs black and white.



Doitsujin -> RE: Lessons (Mar. 10 2013 16:12:23)

Nice Bursche! Wird sicher gut ankommen, dein Sound ist richtig geil. ;)



bule_b -> RE: Lessons (Mar. 10 2013 22:51:10)

Ramzi,
I think he is just making an advertisement video for his workshops which he will teach in person.
I don't believe this is for video lessons.

maybe bursche should clarify this as his post is rather vague in this regard.

I am talking about IF he wants to make a website with video lessons...



ToddK -> RE: Lessons (Mar. 11 2013 1:47:48)

Nice work man! Great playing! ole'
The sound is excellent.
You could try using some ripstop nylon sheets in front of
your lights to get rid of all the glare, and the intense shadows
behind you.

I'm working on similar type of ad videos. Here's one.




Florian -> RE: Lessons (Mar. 11 2013 4:57:29)

Very good man, great playing

I think there's absolutely nothing wrong with that advice...remember back to when you were learning and think as a student, how would it help you the most to see it, angles , speed etc,.when you do the lessons.

I realize this is just the advertisement



Florian -> RE: Lessons (Mar. 11 2013 5:01:26)

Wow Todk those videos look amazing, sound, video angles, lighting, very pro!! possibly best ive seen for this type of thing...i cant wait to check some other stuff out




Congratulations to both of you guys



johnnefastis -> RE: Lessons (Mar. 11 2013 6:32:09)

Wow Bursch and Todd these are both nice videos.

One thing I would love to see more of in video lesson is various looped compas patterns played really slowly with a metronome. I mean really slowly, maybe 60 - 80 bpm for Alegrias or Bulerias.

I have improved my playing loads by getting a pattern by someone great and slowing it right down and looping it, but it often takes me a while to figure out exactly what is going on as the original is normally sooo fast.

Best of luck with it.

Cheers



Elie -> RE: Lessons (Mar. 11 2013 18:30:28)

good luck guys.

Todd your video is amazing I really enjoyed it.



Erik van Goch -> RE: Lessons (Mar. 11 2013 18:52:21)

very good as usual :-)



bursche -> RE: Lessons (Mar. 11 2013 18:57:01)

Really professional appearance, Todd. Did you have black background or did you blacken it digitally somehow?



brandoscostumes -> RE: Lessons (Mar. 11 2013 18:59:02)

i notice when people get a certain amount of youtube views they start putting 15-20 seconds of graphic introduction
speaking for people with slow internet connections WE WILL CLICK AWAY



Escribano -> RE: Lessons (Mar. 11 2013 19:05:47)

Beautiful sound and vision, Todd. You should do one with a black hood over your head, just for the LOLZ [:D]



Escribano -> RE: Lessons (Mar. 11 2013 19:07:47)

Looks great, sounds great. Don't worry about HD if you are not selling videos. Lighting is throwing shadows, though. White background doesn't help. Look for a 3-point rig and read up on cinematic lighting.



Miguel de Maria -> RE: Lessons (Mar. 11 2013 19:12:23)

Todd, are you playing it slower than the original? It's quite soporific. You play great, as usual.

Weird to see you without your pick :)



bursche -> RE: Lessons (Mar. 12 2013 0:23:51)

So this is the page as far as I could bring it in two days. It's in German as I'm adressing only people around Hamburg as long as I just offer guitar courses. Once I start a video lesson thing I obviously need a multi-language page.

Looks good Bursche
