Also, I hope you too start producing some of those productivity videos! I really enjoy them and like the techniques you suggest (specifically, I’m starting to use the one where you add pressure with deadlines)

Wasalaamu ‘Alaykum

I liked that you still posted this video, even though you noticed many problems with it.

Future:
- entertainment with following someone’s adventure and funny stuff always works, but easier said than done
- Recommendation: (if you want it to go big) ONLY the best stuff gets in. Even if you worked realy hard for the shots, if it’s not improving the story then it’s gotta go. Mainly because it’s so easy for people to click away, so keep their attention.

All in all, I wish you the best with this project and your growth.

-Nahyan

ps. I’m actually going to do more videos inshaAllah, so I’ll be lookin out for your stuff and asking for feedback.

Some tips (not sure if they’ll help or not since I have no clue when it comes to video stufff)

1- A story line/plot/something that’ll capture the attention of the watcher
2- I think having a theme or lesson in some episodes would be good – basically to make videos that people will get something out of

One other thing, just remember ‘With Ikhlas comes great sucess’ – self quoted lol
Good luck!

InshaAllah I think I’ll make this into variety show of sorts. Sometimes I can do things like the interviews (great idea btw), and maybe switch to shorts (films), and maybe even a completely CGI video?

Though, I’m trying to think of a proper title for it, and develop it into a project.

Once again, thanks for the great ideas, wasalaam!

Anyways, Ideas. Hrmmm…

1. Start with interviewing great Floridan Muslims. Begin with your brother and father, and then branch out to the Imam, all your FAYM peeps, Islamic school teachers, and others. Collect pearls of wisdom and prominently display it.

2. Reflections of what you’ve read or experienced for that day, kind of like this one. I liked how you actually had footage from your day. However, just as a sidenote, it might be better to stand in one place the whole time, perhaps not to rub the hands together, and to continuously look up (constructive criticism I hope). But I enjoyed the video nevertheless.

3. Engage in debates with other fair-minded individuals. It doesn’t have to be something that deals with Fiqh or anything, just a topic is arguable and there are two valid answers. For example, should Muslims ever go on breaks and vacations? (1 side – everybody needs breaks, 1 side – Life is too short, etc.). It might be even cooler if you could get like five guys on each side and then debate, or perhaps three teams

Btw, what happened in the middle. Someone was explaining the three rules of window shopping and it went BLANK for a whiiiile

F-U-N. That’s why I got from this video.
