A 13-year-old American kid filmed himself in an Apple store – A thinking of personal branding
A 13-year-old American kid who filmed himself in an Apple store in NY by using iMovie. This kid is super famous now in the US and he has been invited by many TV companies.
Firstly please see this video:
The kid secretly used a camera in the store to clip himself; he played the song but he just simply simulated as a vocalist by various body motions, and then uploaded the video by using the store’s Internet.
I like this video (actually he has filmed several videos in the store) not only his talent of playing but also his ‘thief looking’. He looked at himself in the screen, then looked other people, and then filmed. I think everyone may be familiar with these actions because many people have played the camera in a 3C store. I can say that this video could not be fun if lacked these actions.
Moreover, you can see some of the audiences were looking at this kid. Some were laughing, some were confused, some called friends, and some do not interested in this. However, the kid continued to play and didn’t care about others. The faces on the video become the best background of this video.
This video gives me two thoughts:
1. Any camera is the chance to film you: CCTV and camera are everywhere, we may be filmed everyday and many places we don’t know. If we are able to get the videos, we may produce an interesting movie.
2. “Music + Natural Background” seems the formula of becoming famous: We can see so many hot Youtube videos which have the same element: music. Even the author just simply using a cheap camera (like a web cam) and proper music.
The natural is probably the best way to the personal branding.
