I think the main thing is the enthusiasm and stage presence, in addition to the lighthearted playing. This is what makes a musician an entertainer.

Keep it up Larry.

Larry does great at that!

No doubt Don I've seen these all excellent quality both video & audio.....but what I'm saying is if someone knows they are going to video your act bring someone for those specific gigs to capture different angles, zoom, & special moments that later at home can be easily edited to create a very interesting video of the act in many different ways. People watching are easily board watching the same thing keep the viewer excited.

Larry ... I can see how you stay so thin ...

Thanks for watching. That's my first time using the Q4HD. I think the audio and video are very high quality.

I agree that the optimal way to achieve great video is to get more than one angle. Next time, I'll bring someone along with a second camera.

IMO your don't need an second camera but just a second person to move around recording your performances as you play live on a few different gigs making sure you get audience response & reaction besides you just playing. Then later on at home dissect the videos using an editing program and take the best parts to create One nice DVD demo of your work for potential customers to see & hear.

Dnj,

Sorry but IMO your Redbank NJ video (Hurricane?) is a poor video performance. Why did you pick this particular one?

Ian please explain further?

let me explain further the hurricane video shows what I'm talking about also multi-angle shots in rapid succession giving the client a good overall view of your performance.

Well, there are only two reasons I would ever do a video. First is to critique myself and try to make improvements. Second, to have something for my grand kids to see years from now.
The exception to this is the ones I put on Youtube that actually WERE to let a local venue see. Unfortunately I was on an emergency-type time table and didn't have time to do something more elaborate. (I did get an offer from it, but much later.)
I agree that to do a truly great promotional video you need to use extra gear, personnel and software.
I'm a one-shot, real-time guy when it comes to audio and video recordings. I think it is because I'm lazy.
If we wait until everyone takes time to make major productions we will most likely see very few videos of one another. I'd rather see something like Beaky made. It shows what he does and he does it well!
