Five Tips for Creating Awesome Micro-Videos

The micro-video revolution has begun. It started with Vine in January 2013 and very quickly top photo sharing app Instagram had their spin on micro-videos out by June 2013. Since then the debate has raged whether Vine’s limitation of six seconds or Instagram’s expansion to fifteen seconds of video let users be more creative and capture what they want.

Both owned by tech giants now (Vine by Twitter and Instagram by Facebook) the companies have set the rules for micro-video sharing. And while it is up to the user to decide which platform is preferred, we offer to you some tips for making micro-videos whichever you shall choose.

1. Show Don’t Tell

So often the advice given to writers, “show, don’t tell”, holds true for your micro video as well. It is essential that you, as both director and possibly star of your own micro video have a clear reason to be filming. In other words, recognize why it is a video and not a tweet or photo. Not every message needs to have a video, nor is every beautiful sight better recorded as opposed to photographed. Be sure you have something to show in your video, not just tell.

2. Keep it Simple

The beauty of the micro-video medium lies in its simplicity. See for yourself and search some of the best Vines and Instagram videos. Most are telling a simple story. Capturing a moment in time. Displaying an imaginative use of the platform. Keep it simple and film often and you will find your videos will improve.

3. Creativity > Quality

The videos that are replayed the most have nothing to do with big budget productions. If that is what is holding you back from creating your own videos, then recognize that it is creativity that people crave in micro-videos, not high quality production. There are some technical tips that you could follow to help improve the quality of your videos, but at the end of the day, remember it is the creativity that people want to see.

4. Move Camera Angles

Movement is exciting. No matter how slight are eyes are evolutionarily trained to pick up movement. That is why some people struggle to focus during a conversation if a television is on in the back, or why slide shows of a family vacation are made more enjoyable with the Ken Burns style movement of photographs. It doesn’t have to be a massive shift, but if you are just talking into the camera, perhaps you can pause midway through, and switch to a profile angle to make the video more dynamic. A simple solution to stale videos.

5. Pre-Game

Both platforms are merciless on mistakes. A six second video can end up taking a lot longer if you are making it up on the fly and changing your mind as it continues. Putting in some time planning before you shoot will pay off in the long run of the production of the video. There is no substitute for effort, and short videos still require work, especially beforehand.

Configure a USB flash drive for Windows 7 installation

Getting started

Of course, in order to employ this technique you’ll need a USB flash drive that is big enough to hold the contents of the Windows 7 DVD. The Windows 7 RC DVD is about 2.5GB, and you can expect that the RTM DVD will be at least that if not more. For my test system I am using a 4GB USB flash drive.

Keep in mind that the procedure we will use will completely reformat the USB flash drive. So you want to make sure that you back up any data that you have on the drive before you begin.

The systems on which you want to install Windows 7 via the USB flash drive have to be able to be configured to boot from a USB drive. Most new systems have the capability to boot from a USB flash drive, and the operation can usually be configured in the BIOS or by simply pressing a certain key during bootup. You’ll need to check your specific hardware in order to be sure.

Using the DiskPart utility

As you may know, the DiskPart utility is a command-line version of the Disk Management snap-in and is designed to allow you to manage disks, partitions, or volumes from within scripts or directly from a command prompt. We can use the DiskPart command in Windows Vista or in Windows 7 to configure a USB flash drive to be a bootable device. (Keep in mind that Windows XP’s DiskPart command is unable to create a bootable USB flash drive.)

To begin, connect your USB flash drive to a computer on which you will be preparing the drive. For my example, I’ll be using a Windows Vista system.

Now, locate the command Prompt shortcut on the Start menu, right-click on it, and select the Run as Administrator command. Then, respond appropriately to the UAC. You can now launch the DiskPart utility by typing DiskPart on the command line. You’ll then see the DISKPART prompt, as shown in Figure A.

Figure A

DiskPart has its own command-line environment complete with a special prompt.

Now that you’re in the DiskPart environment, you’ll need to locate the USB flash drive using the List Disk command. As you can see in Figure B, the List Disk command has identified my USB flash drive as Disk 5. I can verify that my USB flash drive is indeed Disk 5 by checking the Size column, which lists the size as 3906MB, which is roughly 4GB.

Figure B

Using the List Disk command displays all the disks in the system.

(If you have difficulty identifying your USB flash drive using the List Disk command, you can try the List Volume command, which will provide the drive letter as well as the label, both of which can help you to identify the drive.)

Once you identify the drive number of your USB flash drive, you will need to set the focus of the DiskPart environment on that disk. (This is an extremely important step–Make sure that you select the correct drive or you could accidentally destroy valuable data!). On my example, the USB flash drive is Disk 5, so I will use the command Select Disk 5, as shown in Figure C.

Figure C

To shift the focus over to the USB flash drive you’ll use the Select Disk command.

Now that your USB flash drive has the focus, you need to remove all the partition or volume formatting information from the disk. To do that, you’ll use the Clean command. The Clean operation should occur rather quickly. When it is done you will see a success message like the one shown in Figure D.

Figure D

In order to start with a clean slate you’ll use the Clean command to remove all partition and volume information from the USB flash drive.

You’ll now use the Create Partition Primary command to create a primary partition on the disk. After you create the partition, you will see a success message and the focus will automatically shift to the new partition. You’ll use the Active command to mark the partition as active, as shown in Figure E. Marking the partition as active will essentially allow the BIOS to recognize that the partition is a valid bootable system partition.

Figure E

Using the Create Partition Primary and the Active commands, you’ll create a bootable partition on the USB flash drive.

With the partition created and active, you’re now ready to quickly format the drive and set up the FAT32 file system using the Format fs=FAT32 quick command. (While you could format the drive as NTFS, the typical way to format a USB flash drive is to use FAT32.) Once the drive is formatted, you’ll use the Assign command, as shown in Figure F, to allow the drive to be assigned a drive letter.

Figure F

To complete the preparation, you’ll format the drive and assign it a drive letter.

The USB flash drive is now ready. At this point, you can use the Exit command to exit the DiskPart environment and then close the Command Prompt window.

Copying the Windows 7 files

Copying the Windows 7 files is easy. Just open Windows Explorer, access the Windows 7 DVD, select all the files and folders, and then drag and drop them on the USB flash drive icon, as shown in Figure G. Keep in mind that the copy operation will take a little while to complete.

Figure G

Once the USB flash drive is ready to go, you can copy all the files and folders from the Windows 7 DVD to the newly prepared bootable drive.

Installing Windows 7 from the USB flash drive

With the contents of the Windows 7 DVD on a bootable USB flash drive, installing the operating system is a snap. Just boot the system from the USB drive and the installation procedure will begin as it normally would, as shown in Figure H. However, the installation procedure will actually run quicker off of a USB flash drive since it doesn’t contain any physically moving components.

Figure H

Once the system boots from the USB flash drive, the Windows 7 installation will begin as normal, but it will actually run faster.

What’s your take?

Have you ever wanted to be able to install an operating system from a USB flash drive? Now that you know how to do it, are you likely to employ this technique to install Windows 7 on a Netbook or on multiple computers?
