Don’t practice, just hit record 🔴, and then recount a story from your past with your significant other.
When you go to edit this, you’ll see facial expressions and little quirks that your person will recognize ❤️
" All right. This one's gonna be fun. All we're gonna do is look at the camera and try to just remember back something. Now, I haven't tried this yet, so I'm, I'm gonna start kind of talking to the camera and remembering, reminiscing back on a story. But do this, think about your significant other. Think about some cool thing that happened.
Maybe it was on Valentine's Day, maybe it wasn't something romantic. I don't know. Any little thing. And then you're just gonna capture that and all the little pauses and the thinking about it's all, um, that might actually be really cool. So I don't even know. House is gonna go, but here we are.
Big, stupid smile. Remember all that? I still remember back when we were kids, I was 17 years old still, and you were 18, and I walked into my room on Valentine's Day and I saw pink and red balloons just filling the whole room like. Bouncing off the floor everywhere. You couldn't even walk in there without 'em kicking up in the air.
And it was something that you sat there actually, and you even had a dude who was sipping for you big time help you fill up those balloons in my bedroom just because you wanted the help, cuz you were trying to do something special for me. So you've always gone way outta your way to just make things feel special for other people.
And you've definitely done that for me. Okay. I think I'm just gonna go with that. I don't really want to even try to do that again. Uh, super cute little memory with the wife and uh, that's something that you could do. So I suggest sometimes be spontaneous. Record yourself when you don't know if you're gonna say it right.
If you fumble something as you like, remember little details, mid-sentence, capture that. That's the cool thing about talking to a camera. Uh, and the better that you get at just letting things flow and not being so worried about how you look or sound, then the more authentic and likable and relatable you're gonna come across.
And no better way to test all this than just making a video for one specific person that already knows you. Because if you can then duplicate that later when you talk to somebody else that you don't know and you still talk to them, like you're only talking to one person like I'm talking to you right now, it definitely makes it feel more real for the viewer as opposed to being like, Hey guys, uh, so I'm gonna tell you about a time now it's detached.
Now you don't feel like I'm talking to you. It's just this general statement. So use this for the Valentine's Day video. But then think about it later so that when you make more videos, you can still keep it personalized for one person. Use that word, you look into the camera, smile all the things. I'll see you tomorrow."
That's a wonderful approach to creating a personalized and authentic video message! By reminiscing and sharing a specific memory, you can evoke emotions and create a more meaningful connection with your audience.
It's great that you're encouraging spontaneity and capturing moments as they naturally unfold, including pauses and reflections. This helps maintain the authenticity of the message and makes it relatable to the viewer. Engaging with the camera as if you're speaking directly to one person further enhances the sense of connection and makes the video feel more personal and intimate.
Using this technique for your Valentine's Day video will undoubtedly create a heartfelt and memorable experience for your significant other. And as you continue making videos, keeping it personalized and genuine will help you connect with a broader audience.
Best of luck with your video creation, and I'll be here if you need any further assistance or guidance along the way.
