I shot this for the potential Superior Shine client in mind. There isnt any "how to" tips but only a brief explanation of what we find / look for before a detail, a little of what is involved to complete the service and shots of the completed vehicle.

Your thoughts please.......

Cool guy! Shiniest ding you ever seen!! Love it.
 
I am an amateur filmmaker, and do corporate video for a living. My suggestions are these:

1. Use a tripod.

2. Use a good microphone to clean up the audio

3. Move the camera far far less.

4. Stay on topic. Do you really want to mention strip bars in a video about car detailing to your potential clients?

5. Light yourself as well as you light the cars in your garage.

6. Lose the sunglasses. It makes you appear less genuine if we can't see your eyes.

7. Imprint your logo in the lower left or right corner of the video

8. Try to get your video edited professionally.

That's my short list. There are numerous other things, but I'll leave it here for now.
 
Write down what you're going to say and let several people read and edit it. Try to find people who you feel may have a better idea of what a professional document should look like than you (professional assistants, attorneys, teachers,etc). Read it and record yourself numerous times before you get ready to shoot the video. Convert it to your script and do not deviate from it once you have it all set.

Great concept...now the hard work begins!
 
Great and entertaining video Joe! :props:


A female techer with a Cobra mustang....The movie "Varsity Blues" instantly comes to mind! :D
 
Is this a little better? I realize I need a tripod with wheels as it is hard to film around the vehicle and keep the camera steady.
