I’d like to share with you a strange phenomena that is the source of much amusement here at eSpares Towers. I’d like to introduce you to… the Mattface. Basically, the Mattface happens any time you pause any of Matt’s How-To videos whilst he is talking to camera. It never ceases to amaze, how Matt’s chiselled features really do run the gamut of emotions. Here’s just a few…

On Friday we filmed a load of videos for the Sebo X1 vacuum, and I’ve got to say, as nerdy as it sounds, I fell in love with it. It’s a brilliantly simple, solidly put together piece of kit. The choice of hotel room service providers the world over, this vacuum is really reliable, and all the parts are interchangeable and an absolute doddle to fit. So if you’re a Sebo connoisseur, here’s what to do if your X1 is losing suction. Enjoy.

Tomorrow we’re shooting some videos on an old Sebo X1 vacuum. Before we get to shooting the videos, obviously we need to do a bit of research in to the appliance. Apart from taking the appliance apart, we do a lot of online research. Whilst researching today I found a quite surreal American informercial shot in the 1980s(?) for the Windsor Sensor vacuum. That’s what the Americans call the Sebo X1 y’see. Check this little beauty out…

Last week I blogged about all the planning and preparation that goes in to a day of shooting How-To videos. We shot the videos on Friday, so I thought it only right that now I should let you know what goes in to an actual shoot day.

A lot of planning goes into every How-To video we shoot. A general rule is for every day’s worth of filming we do, a day’s worth of planning goes in to it too. Usually, Gabe, the director/editor/cameraman/Mr. Fix It, heads down to the set a couple of days in advance.
Once he’s had a hearty sausage roll from Kucci Cafe just around the corner, he sets about literally deconstructing the whole appliance we’re due to work on down to the sum of its parts.

You may or may not remember a post I made a few months ago introducing our new video series. ‘How Appliances Work’ I called it. A pretty succinct title if you ask me. In the second in the series, Matt explains how deceptively simple washing machines really are.

January is traditionally a month in which people knuckle down and try to stick to their resolutions. Gym membership applications go through the roof, schedules are cleared for family time… if you think about it, it’s actually a positive and uplifting time of year.
