How to create a WOW! Instagram Reel

Hello my fellow creatives!

Have you posted a 🎥 'REEL' yet on Instagram?

They are QUICK and a lot of FUN to watch!

Please head over to the WOW! Instagram for all our

Design Teams Reels also!

I decided that I would try a new way in sharing my WOW! creations on social media and it has been a little challenging for this Generation X Artist.... to say the least.... ha ha.

On my first attempt, I ran out of time and could not show what the final art piece looked like...lol. So, I tried to edit it in TikTok and I might have made it even worse 😂 .

Here is my first one for your viewing pleasure (no sound).

I am determined that I can do this 👍

Therefore, here is what happened when I edited it in TikTok:

My second attempt was just to film as a time-lapse video and post it to Instagram REELS. 

(you can view it by clicking here, if the video is not available below)

It was a wee bit better, but I am going to continue practicing my step-by-step quick tutorial versions for you & I hope you will try and make a few as well.

I did chat with a couple of my fellow WOW! Design Team members for help (Daniel Diaz & Katka Dachovska) & they are quite good at their 📹 REELS, if you want to take a peak at their Instagram.

😉😊

Below are some helpful steps that I have learned from talking to them and from my own trial & error. I thought that they may be helpful to a few of you creatives as well & therefore decided to share them here with you.

I will keep practicing and improving.

HOW TO CREATE A step-by-step INSTAGRAM REEL:

1. 1. Create your short (15-30 second) video reel in your instagram account by clicking the '+' by your account name. Then (on the bottom of your screen) select 'REELS'. From there select the time length of your video 15 or 30 seconds.
2. 2. If you film at 2x or 3x the speed you can fit more imagery in.
3. 3. Plan your creation before you begin.
4. 4. Have some or all pieces/steps already completed to make the filming easier on yourself.
5. 5. Hold the RECORD button for each short segment of filming & pay close attention to the time remaining.
6. 6. Be a little silly/playful in your creation segments. You may just get more views that way 😜 .
7. 7. Search within the REEL creation format for some music/sound that is relative to what you are creating.
8. 8. Review your video and add in any text that you desire.
9. 9. Click the NEXT (right arrow) button and then you can add your description & hashtags.  Don’t forget to use #wowembossingpowder #wowembossing as hashtags and to TAG @wowembossing , as we would all 💜 LOVE 💜 to see your work .

Happy REELS Everyone!

Keep smiling & creating,

Nicci
