I was searching Youtube for "Etsy" and I came upon Tascha's shop and Youtube channel today. I noticed that she's using video a lot to showcase her work. I picked out some of her videos that inspire me to find new ways to use video.
1. Show your process. Tascha starts this video with an introduction and then sped up the video to show you the process she goes through to create an original painting. I like the way she mixed it up and included different camera angles to keep it interesting. Speeding it up also helps with...keeping it short! Remember, attention spans are mini on the web.
2. Animate your creations. Tascha has cool cats and one of them stars in this video. Animations can be as easy to make as just turning on the video camera, moving things around, and then taking out all the video that has your hands in it. You can also use a digital camera and animate the still photos.
3. Make a how-to. In this video Tascha shows how she made a journal and an accordion book about adopting her cat Opie. Creating how-to videos and sharing your skills with others makes you an expert on the subject.
Have you seen other types of videos that showcase artwork or other handmade process? Drop a note in the comments!

Cool. I just did a How-To on my Resin Jewelry last week.
One of the great and somewhat unexpected things about making a how-to is that your not just teaching a skill or technique. You're also teaching others a way to feel the way you feel when you create something.
Sounds sappy, I know, but it's been the most rewarding part of sharing.

I love Tashca! Her work is so beautiful.
I have also a video on YouTube with a fast motion style.

Here are some links to videos of my artwork on exhibit at a big arts event going on right now in DC [artomatic]. This is a quick video of my knitting installation:

I would love to do more video work, what program do you recommend using to assemble different pieces together?
