@RogerP - sounds good! Thanks for the consideration.
55-second Style-Tip videos (experiment)
Gents, for any of you who are comfortable in front of a camera, I'd like to do an experiment for our YouTube channel.
Would like to create a series of short style-tip videos and publish them on our channel.
Three important restrictions:
ANY STYLE-RELATED TIP (SHOES, JACKETS, SHIRTS, PANTS, COLOR MATCHING, ETC.) IS FAIR GAME.
Q&A
Q1. Are we permitted to mention brand names?
A1. Yes!
Q2. Can spouses/partners appear in the videos?
A2. The more the merrier
Yes!
Q3. Is there a standard intro at the top that we should be using?
A3. Not specifically, but if you wanted to do some quick intro, you could do something like "this is {your member name or your real name} for/from Ask Andy About Clothes, and one of my favorite style hacks is...". Doesn't have to be that exactly, whatever feels natural
Q4. Do you have a sample of a video so I can see exactly what you are looking for?
A4. There is no exact requirement outside of what is outlined above. We haven't ourselves done this before, but you may be able to find some examples on Instagram stories, or TikTok. While we will not specifically using these short videos for TikTok, here is an example of some vertical-shot videos to give you a sense of how they could be done. The particular example is related to men's cosmetics, but it should give you an idea of the concept.
Q5. So basically you want us to provide any style tips that we've found helpful or that we think would be helpful to others?
A5. 100% -- one tip per video ideally so it provides value.
You can share them with me here:
https://www.dropbox.com/request/QVSdtlBJNYO5RjMIjOgu
If you have trouble sending them there, please let me know.
Any takers? Questions?

So good to hear, and welcome to AAAC!
No specific deadline, but it would be great if we could start getting some videos within about a week if possible.
Of course, you can start with one (1) video, then if you want to do more, we'd love to have them.
This should be a fun experiment, especially if we can get many different AAAC members to provide their top style, style-hacks, or style-related tip videos
Great questions!!!
1. Yes
2. The more the merrier
Yes!3. Not specifically, but if you wanted to do some quick intro, you could do something like "this is Troones {or your real name} for/from Ask Andy About Clothes, and one of my favorite style hacks is...". Doesn't have to be that exactly, whatever feels natural
No worries Eagle, I completely understand.
While I do have the aptitude for creating videos, I can't personally participate in creating these particular videos for two reasons:
1. I loathe being on camera (video, photo, etc.) where you have to talk or look directly to the camera
2. I'm the last person to take style advice or learn style hacks from
Great questions!! Thanks so much for your interest in helping us!

There is no exact requirement outside of what is outlined in the first thread. We haven't ourselves done this before, but you may be able to find some examples on Instagram stories, or TikTok.

Thanks @BarrettMC !!

No worries whatso ever. I suspect after you do one, if you do any others, it'll be easier
Doin a quick check in with those who expressed an interest in putting some quick style-tip videos together, including:

I realize we're in the midst of the holiday season, and most will be busy from now until January, but just bumping the thread to keep this top of mind
I'll put another reminder on my calendar for early January 2021. Thanks in advance!
