I am speaking at the local Glazier Clinic this weekend and i just had a thought.
Typically at these things guys are selling their own stuff (Books, DVDs, playbooks sometimes)
but usually they also sell CD copies of their presentations
I am some no name Slappy so I am not expecting a huge crowd, but do you think it would be smart to make some copies of my presentations on CDs and have them on hand ?
I just dont wanna get hit up at the end by guys asking to send it to them just because i dont want to email it to a bunch of guys.
I was thinking put all 3 presentations on 1 disc
sell it for 10-20 bucks
Should i do this?
If so all 3 on 1 or do them individually?
how much?
I dont even know that I wont get BOO'd out of the room lol
I appreciate any help/feedback
Thanks

Most the ones I've been to, they are giving out DVDs for 5 bucks. Maybe it's gone up since it's been a couple years since I've been to a Glazier. Been going to AFCA for the past 3 years so I don't know for sure.
This 1st time around you could just find out how many guys you would need to send it to and do it for free, then next time you speak you would have an idea of how many to make. If you are putting all 3 on a disk with cutups, that would be about $15.
I've also seen a speaker or two reward guys for actively participating in the topic by answering questions or being the volunteer for a quick demo and tossing DVDs around for that as well.

I saw them for 5 last year. I'd just make enough copies to cover the cost of making them. You could always make more as needed.

The clinic I was just at the speaker sold the presentation for 20 bucks and you had to bring the flash drive. Another option was 20 bucks and a dropbox account.
Either way, it's pure profit and pretty simple to do

If you want to see how it goes the first time I'd put them all on 1 disk (if possible) and sell cheap. |

I would defiantly make some copy's and sell them. I am always willing to pay 10 dollars or so.

Really, I'd set it up so you just deliver it via dropbox so you don't have to make discs. I like to pick up stuff like this even if I don't run a particular defense/offense/etc. so long as its reasonably priced. If you have a screencast w/ video that is basically a digital version of your presentation, I would sell them separately for $10 each. If they are just power points, I'd bundle them for $10. Either way, I'd do it and I would buy it. |

What are you going to be talking about?

What are you going to be talking about? How to give the ball to the biggest, fastest kid in the country. I kid, I kid. A little. At $1 a DVD, assume you bring twice as many as you sell, sell them at $10 each keeps them at a good price point. So you net $8 a sale, might sell 10? Bring home about $80? Now, you can always hope to get that HC who's a little loony and buys a copy for his whole staff, so let's say you net $100. What do you have to do to make it work? You need to film yourself presenting beforehand. The actual presenting isn't too bad in terms of lost time because you were goi g to rehearse anyway, but now you need to have clean segments. No stutters or pauses. Use plenty of title slides to break it up, that way you can avoid doing a single long take and avoid having to jump cut. That will cost you maybe three extra hours. The camera needs to be set up and the lighting checked. Basically just add more light. Two cameras at opposite angles to the white board can save you when you realize you've just done five minutes with your body blocking the shot. That's maybe an hour of setup? Good sound is what separates the good videos from the unwatchable crap. It can be the greatest information ever but if it's a mess of echoes nobody will watch it. You probably don't have an external mic, so using the camera mic means doing some test runs. It's a pain in the ass. Offices tend to be echoey on film, classrooms are a little better. Actually the ideal setting is if you have a rolling whiteboard on the school stage. You already have lighting and the curtains will baffle the sound. You could probably cut total prep time to a half hour. In post, use software to edit everything together. Use hudl to get some telestrator and voiceover video. Check how the sound comes out. Play with the levels to make sure the sound is consistent from whiteboard to hudl. Use simple three or four second slides to transition. No jump cuts, they're very obvious. No dissolves, fades, or star wipes, you'll look like a preteen girl. If you've never done this it takes forever. The second time is significantly easier. Making copies will take you about zero time if you have a DVD copier. I assume you don't, so it'll take a while. It's mostly passive, watch tv and change the disc every half hour. Remember that DVD quality is not HD, everything is going to be compressed. Frame the shot tightly, draw big, make big movements. Shoot and edit in HD and upload an HD copy to YouTube as an unlisted video, and downconvert it for the DVDs. So you're looking at close to ten hours of work to make a sweet DVD, make $100, and develop a reputation as a pimpass mofo with a facemelter offense. |

I think he was tlking more about a dvd with slides drills and cut ups probably, not the whole actual talk. I have bought some in the past and that's all the DVDs had on them.

When we did a Glazier clinic in 2011, we made more money selling DVD's at $10.00 a pop than we got paid by the Cliic.

A bit late on this, but just learned about screencastify. If you have access to google stuff you can do this on your laptop and it will record what you are saying while also showing whatever was on your presentation. Then you can just send people the link. Would be the entire actual presentation and all you have to do is hit record. Had it demonstrated in a PD yesterday and the sound quality was amazing. It even recorded voices of people in the audience well, so it might catch peoples questions.

I like the guys that give outlines of their clinic sessions, these are the ones I usually buy the DVD from. Then as you show the video, cut ups etc I am able to take notes.
PS. I too would be interested in your presentation...

I agree with this statement. The outlines really help to keep track and take notes. I have never bought a presentation myself but would be interested to see how many do.
