I've wanted to do this project for more than a year and it was one of the most difficult I've taken on. I appreciate any suggestions and unvarnished feedback you’d like to offer, about the content, video quality, sound, etc.

[video=vimeo;181925088]https://vimeo.com/182750717[/video]

As far as I can tell, this is the only free online video showing how to set up a high performance turntable, with the exception of Michael Fremer’s RMAF and Axpona videos on YouTube.

This was my first on-camera project, so don’t expect a Ryan Seacrest-like performance. After I decided to forget about how I looked and just focus on getting the lines out correctly, it still took around 20 late nights to complete shooting.

This video is intended to include everything important and avoid confusion, so even a beginner can set up just about any turntable. There’s no attempt to explain how/why things work, discuss theories or include brand-specific instructions, just 32 minutes of step-by-step setup instruction.

The video is posted on the Jaguar Blog page for full-screen viewing and there will be step-by-step instructions available for download shortly. Keep an eye out for future Jaguar video projects. I have several in the wings and will be getting them out as soon as I can.

Thanks very much everyone, I appreciate it. I was pleased with how the graphics and backing music came out. I think everything else is going to improve quite a bit with time and maybe a teleprompter as well.

Notes Document for the Video

The Notes Document that accompanies the video has just been uploaded to the Jaguar Blog Page. It's a PDF document with step-by-step instructions, to make it a little easier to get through the video without having to keep going over segments or take notes yourself.

This project is now a 3-part Vinyl Series. I finished shooting part 2, "Buying Vinyl", last night. Editing will be quick, because I'm using the same music and transitions for each part. Part 3, "Jaguar's Top 50 Pressings" will probably be most interesting for this crowd.
