Live on the Air
I have recently started to use a new app on my ipad called Periscope. It’s live video with chat interaction. People watch you live and they can text messages, questions, etc. Those messages scroll up the screen as the video plays. You can then save those videos and post them wherever you want; Youtube, Facebook, etc.
I decided to do a Napkin Dad Show, showing my studio and me drawing a napkin. I did the show in several parts for a few reasons; first, the videos take up a lot of memory and take time to upload if they are too long so breaking them up is easier. And second, showing the entire process is boring. It’s just like in cooking demonstrations. They show you bits and pieces and then show you the finished product, which they had made prior to the filming. It’s kind of like that with doing art.
Here’s my first in the series. It’s about 5 minutes long.

I think the video is great but just turn the camera around to achieve full frame.
Hi Brianne, thanks! The problem is on Periscope the frame is only vertical so far. So if I am broadcasting live on Periscope I can go horizontal but the audience will see me sideways IF they are also trying to follow the texts that are scrolling by. Hopefully the periscope app will updated to include horizontal viewing and texting soon.
Great video and for next time flip phone on side for full frame. Cheers!
Thanks Divina, read what I said in response to Brianne about the vertical nature of Periscope so far. I will do my best to get horizontal in the near future because I understand it would be much better!
