      You can go to "edit video" -> more options -> license -> creative commons
      Copyright prohibits use by default. If I make a play, and as part of that play use samples from this video, and put the play on youtube...i can get contentID slaps or even a strike on my account, even if I'm doing something useful and creative with it and giving credit. I shouldn't have to worry about what the friends I'm sharing this video with are going to get into legal trouble for using it. That's what creative commons does - it means that if I share this video, people who get it from me can do cool stuff with it. I don't have to worry about them. Copyright makes all works a legal quagmire and horrorshow by default, but creative commons makes it so we don't have to live like that.
      generally unless you have some really good reason (you're using someone else's work which isn't creative commons and they are dead/impossible to get permission for)...your videos should all be creative commons

    Honestly, this could be a great required listening for some stage managers who need to work on their calling. Id love to hear a chunk of a difficult show. We had one guy who would say a long breathy "goooo". Do I hit go at the "g" or the last "ooo". Or the kpop shows (i give them credit, not a native language) "ok there, ok go, spot 2 go, ok, pin up"

    • @CherieBTay
      @CherieBTay  Před 3 lety +13

      Hit it on the G! As an SM, I like to check in with my Board ops and make sure that I'm giving them what they need. Different operators have different needs. I adjust my calling for them.

I showed this to my 15 year old daughter; she loves all things backstage, but her favorite part is running the sound board. When you mentioned the sound board, my sweet Charlotte lost it. Full on sobs. So much held in emotion. All I could do was hug her and tell her it’s not forever.It’s hard when we can’t fix our kids’ problems 😞. I honestly thought she would find it comforting. She said it was very comforting. And she will watch it again. But tonight it reminded her how much she misses it.
