Amazing Dillan, we're all stoked for this. 💪🏼
Roast My Instagram Reels
I would super appreciate some feedback on what I've been posting lately. To avoid swaying anyone's opinion, I'll share the specific struggles that I'm having after getting some feedback. If anyone has free time to offer any! Some jumping-off questions: - What are your first thoughts when you watch these reels? - Would you go to my profile to hear more of my music? - Would you give your email to me so that I could send you an 8-minute mix of my music every month? My 3 top goals in making Instagram videos are: 1. To showcase my music production skills 2. Represent the artist that I'm trying to be. Aesthetically and audibly 3. To get the word out and get more people to join my mixtape community. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C505J7GL1yF/?igsh=MWhmdWV6NDdtbDRraw== https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6FWUkosqRe/?igsh=OWZkdXdweG9scWtt https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4dK9-prmMJ/?igsh=MW42MGt6YWxkMWN5MQ==

I was really drawn to the semi-vintage aesthetic of your reels—it has a cool, nostalgic vibe that I genuinely admire. The style of your music struck a chord with me too; it reminded me of my lofi hiphop phase during the pandemic, which I loved. That's why I signed up for your mix right away (though I forgot to leave a comment at the time!). Regarding the videos, I think they could really benefit from more varied shots and movements. The three frames you're using are interesting—each serving a distinct purpose, right? One third for the original track, another for the music-making, and the last third showing you just enjoying the music. It's a cool concept that adds depth, but maybe enhancing the visuals could help hold the viewer’s attention even more- because the music was cool, but I wanted to scroll past after awhile because visually I was bored. Thinking out loud here, have you considered adding a narrative element to the visuals, or even a touch of humor or mystery? For instance, in the shot where you’re chilling on the couch—what if you were doing something unexpected like drafting a crazy email outlaying your world domination plan or maybe you're achieving a record high score in solitaire or tetris? IDK just hyper random or trippy things to make people this WTF might be fun to play with it contrasts the chill smooth beats. And the scene with the homie wearing sunglasses indoors—what’s his story? It might be interesting to play around with what’s going through his mind in that moment. These little details could really make the visuals pop and complement the great tracks you’re producing. Again, I really appreciate the high fade and vintage style you’re using. Keep up the great work!
Feedback on attention and length
- Does the introduction grab your attention? I initially only wanted to write the last 3 paragraphs - Does this blog post seem too long? - https://rosscharles.co/sharing-time-not-spending-lessons-from-living-in-argentina/

Hey Chad - firstly, great tips. I listened to this on the background while I was doing other things - this is how I consume most of my media. Maybe consider at the end just summarizing all 3 of the tips once again to close things up.
