As you realize, I began a brand new completed jewellery and crafts retailer, CraftaGems earlier this yr. Like everybody else, I attempt to take good photographs. Nonetheless, I did have some concern with among the objects. Do my photographs actually present how shiny or sparkly among the designs actually are? In spite of everything, we wish that little wow issue to show a go to right into a sale.
Lo and behold, Etsy launched their beta video perform for listings – only one video per itemizing is allowed. So I gave it a go and added quick video clips (5-15 seconds) to among the listings I felt wanted it. You may see the precise video as a picture possibility once you click on on any of the design hyperlinks under.
Importing is simple when getting a list prepared. I shot the movies utilizing my iPhone mounted on a small tripod utilizing the native digital camera app’s video possibility. I clicked on EDIT to crop and reorientate the video. Lighting circumstances needs to be as for photographs. However the modifying perform will permit you to right publicity and so forth if essential.
One factor I discovered is to focus and maintain one’s arms in that focal vary through the shoot. That is one thing I needed to consciously bear in mind! Want extra follow.
However the video clip I took did present its shine and a little bit of motion :
The TierraCast crystal studs and gold glitter acrylic of this glamorous pair confirmed a little bit of sparkle within the picture :
However the video exhibits way more sparkle and motion :
However the sparkly from the tremendous shiny jewellery grade resin from Little Home windows actually exhibits up within the video clip. You may be capable of hear the sound of the chain within the embedded video under however uploaded movies on Etsy itself is with out sound. 
What may presumably go fallacious with quick video clips? Properly – here’s a blooper!
I have never completed the subsequent possibility however different Etsy sellers have additionally proven the subsequent step – how handmade crafts are use, or within the case of bijou, worn. This beautiful handmade tassel earrings modeled instance is by Texas based mostly designer, Kali Moxley of Symposium Co.
I do not suppose Etsy sellers will add movies for each merchandise they promote. However I believe they’ll select those which can profit most from video clips. I may see tutorial designers additionally utilizing this new perform to showcase a few of their classes.
What do you suppose? Would you as a vendor, use this perform? Or for those who had been a purchaser, would a video be useful? Please share your ideas within the feedback!
