Music is fun
Music is anything you want it to be and this is a great example.
Comedians from Trailer Park Boys celebrate Bubbles love of kitties based on The Wellerman Song.
The boys already have a significant following due to the popular success of the television program the one thing that we can learn from them is how to have fun with music and not take everything so seriously.
If you do have a platform like Instagram and you want to share yourself with your community sometimes it can be a good idea to play with the context be a little bit more playful.
Growing a following is no easy thing but they have done a couple of things that I'm sure you would appreciate.
They were present in camera and easy to see.
The audio was good and clean.
Top Tip: your headphones (for example) if they are from Samsung or Apple are $300 Microphones, use them as lapel mic’s.
They used a drum to stay on beat and keep the rhythm even.
I bet there is a camera stand in use, Instagram prefers Portrait where Facebook prefers Landscape video format. But you don’t have to have a camera stand to rock this area.
Top Tip: Camera steadiness is essential to a solid video, camera facing where you want to film rather than on selfie mode if using a cellphone will increase the quality of what you are filming and leverage your phone to a surface that is steady, on pegs on a cup, on books, in between books, set a timer and rock this thing.
Their tone, harmonies and tune were on point and it made it easy to connect with what they were doing.
They honor their brand and identity from The Trailer Park Boys so people can easily identify who they are and celebrate what they already know about them.
The video is short to the point, to maximize storytelling.
Top Tip: The key to success in this area is always taking the time to map it out, film it, batch edit (which is to lump all of your editing together as much as possible with Instagram, for time saving).
Top Tip: Don't forget to copy content and download versions of your video as you save your draft before posting so you can check on it’s quality 👌.
Enjoy the creative process of making and showcasing your talent. You are amazing.
