Due to this prolonged attention Facebook is prioritizing video, meaning that video posts are more likely to be seen by your audience. Viewers retain more of the message when watching a video compared to text. Even if the retention rate is only an extra 50%, this still means that your audience is still means that your audience is still capturing more of your message when you put it out in video form than when you use a text and image combo. Add captions. A high percentage of videos on social media are viewed without sound. By adding captions you allow this large portion of your audience to still engage with you content. You make it accessible.    Find the full transcript for this session of the Pro Church Podcast at http://prochurchtools.com/pcp188/.

http://prochurchtools.com/187 - Tristan is the creative mind behind a large percentage of the abstract footage available on Storytape. He joins us to discuss what it takes to orchestrate and film an abstract scene.    What's In This Session? The origins of Storytape (8:07) Executing a reverse bet (10:15) What it takes to orchestrate an abstract scene (14:20) Filming abstract clips using fire and flames (16:04) Why a macro lens is the key to great abstract footage (20:27) Building an abstract scene around a broken speaker (22:35) How to bounce back when a video shoot fails (26:05) Adding visual effects to abstract footage in post-production (41:00)   Show Notes & Resources Mentioned Storytape Storytape on Instagram Westcott LED Flex Lights Savage Seamless Paper Backgrounds Tristan on Instagram Tristan on Twitter Grasshopper   3 Instant Take Aways Draw inspiration from the work of others. Tristan remembers seeing clips of paper burning, and later used this to inspire a sequence of clips of fire and ember. Write down the things that inspire you, as well as things you want to try in the future. Use a macro lens. A macro lens allows you make small things appear large. This combination can turn even normal, everyday objects into unrecognizable, abstract shots. Don't be afraid to fail and try again. Part of creating is coming up with things that haven't been done or seen before - or at least not your way. Sometimes it will take a couple of shots to get something just right. Don't allow it to discourage you. Come back with new and better ideas.   Find the full transcript for this session of the Pro Church Podcast at http://prochurchtools.com/pcp187/.

Be honest with yourself - you're never going to go back 20 years from now and rematch yourself making your morning cup of coffee, and that's okay. Instead let the fact that your story will expire inspire your creativity everyday. How can this day be turned into a fun or beautiful story worth sharing? Challenge yourself enjoy the process. Work with what you have. Whether it's what you're doing that day, or the gear you're using - don't try to force it to be something it's not. Let your creativity find the ways to make the most of it. Break it up. With Instagram stories being such short clips of time, if a single clip of footage in your story is more than a few seconds long it can seem to drag on. By keeping clips and transitions short, you can maintain high energy throughout your story.   Find the full transcript for this session of the Pro Church Podcast at http://prochurchtools.com/becoming-communi…urch-napa-valley/.
