The Upton Report Vol.205 – Black or White?

I’ve been a bit camera shy lately…and we get such positive feedback on all the videos we put out, I know I’ve got to get back into the swing of it.  Its not shyness really, I don’t mind public speaking or being in front of the camera at all, and neither does Gary…sometimes its just “overwhelming” to come up with a subject, stage it, get the camera and lights out, upload and edit it, over-scrutinize it, etc.

Then we realized, do create content…just document what your doing already.

Trying to keep it easy and natural, I’ve been grabbing my iPhone and just documenting things in the shop as they happen.  No script, no white board meetings about content and focus…just natural organic stuff that I take for granted because I see it everyday…but the stuff that visitors to the shop are always astounded by when they walk in and watch us work and really digest that we make basses from scratch.

Subscribe to our YouTube Channel or follow us on FaceBook as we start publishing some if the micro videos we’ve been taking, and comment and let us know what you think!  We love hearing from you!
