Short videos are increasingly popular on social media and are a great way to get yourself seen by a much larger audience. Here are some ideas (with examples) of the kind of content you could share on social media and tag us - 

​

​1. Short Video of Making or Demonstrating a Process (ideal max length 15 seconds​) - 

Video of you at work. Could be all of you on camera, or just your hands. This video could be in real-time or time-lapsed.
​Example: Committee Member Kathy Hutton demonstrating her printing process - https://gopro.com/v/MJg0K0RB74l5R 

2. Longer Video of Making or Demonstrating a Process (ideal max length, 3 minutes) -
Video of you at work. Could be all of you on camera, or just your hands. This video could be in real-time demonstrating one specific element of your work, or time-lapsed if it is showing a process over a few days.
​Examples - https://interact.handmadeinbritain.co.uk/demonstrations/
Notice that some exhibitors talk to camera, but some use either time-lapse or text captions. Do whatever feels right for you and how you work.

3. Workshop/Studio Tour (ideal max length, 15 seconds) -
Short video tour of where you work. You can be in-front or behind the camera. You could describe your space or use captions to tell viewers what they’re seeing. 
​Example: Kathy Hutton studio tour with caption - https://www.instagram.com/reel/CM4XyInjC81/
 

4. Pre-recorded workshop (10 mins, ideally no longer than 15 mins​) -
An extension of a demo where people could join in at home. ​You may need to consider what materials viewers will need to have in advance.
Example: Bronwen Gwillim guided video to make a necklace from felt tip pens for Digital Craft Festival - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIMdbqdjnUE
