Today's video of the day comes to us from classical pianist and YouTuber Morris Rahbar and shows him playing an amazing Dr. Dre mashup for the students of Compton College.

One of the amazing things about this video if you watch carefully is that the video uses footage from the many smartphones recording the performance. It cuts around to give you many angles and in the age of smartphones this is easy to achieve; just ask the kids to email you the footage and then edit it all together. He uses the audio from one track, so that it is consistent throughout. 

 

This is the kind of thing that if you are a pianist and you know you are going to play this medly, you want to get it on video because it will be a great branding tool. This video has gotten over 800,000 views in the year that it has been up. No matter your profession, if your brand is a key part of your business then you need to be using video to get your name and work out there. Just take Rahbar's example here.

TV News’ Original Sin

My mentor in the television business was Fred Friendly. For those who never heard of him, he pretty much invented TV news. He was Edward R. Murrow’s producer for many years before he became President of CBS News.


In today’s digital era, platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram dominate our online lives with content created by influencers and creators making a lot of money with the videos they make. It’s easy to see why this is such an attractive career.


Local TV news is also in trouble. Viewership is down and the all-important younger demographic is not even interested in watching. How can we get them watching?
