We have seen in some doll video comments (am I the only person who reads other peoples comments?) lots of people ask, "How do you come up with all of your doll video ideas?" Lots of people can't figure out very good ideas for doll videos. So, we are writing some tips to help you guys figure out
some good ideas for your videos.
1) One of the most important things to remember when making a doll video is to make a title for it, and then you can build ideas around the title or you could think of the plot (from the title). BUT, make sure your plot makes sense, and make sure you can get a long way off of the idea.
2) Make sure you have enough dolls. If you need to, ask your friends to let you borrow their dolls and/or for them to help you hold, move, or do voices for your dolls.
3) Be sure to have a good video software so you can do as many edits as you want. We use iMovie and sometimes FlipShare (they don't sell Flip cameras anymore, so I would stick to iMovie).
4) Making videos can be hard to do by yourself, so have a "video team."
You'll need:
- A "camera man"
- "The mover" - moves and holds the dolls
- "The voice" - makes different voices for each character
- "The editor"
