Hire a Video Company or Self Produce?
You have a new tablet or smartphone; or perhaps a new digital camera. So you're thinking, "I can use it to create videos for my business. My computer has a video editing program. I'll put them up on YouTube and link them to my website."
But think about it: how many "home-made" YouTube videos you've seen project a truly professional impression, and put the business in its best light?
Bottom line: Having access to gourmet cookware won't make you a gourmet chef. Having an HD camera, smartphone or tablet and video editing software won't produce a quality business video without lots of practice . . . and a dash of talent.
So much goes into producing a quality video - no matter the length:
Quality video equipment
Lighting suitable for shooting video
Audio equipment for quality sound
Graphics design (including a logo if you don't have one)
A script that promotes your business; short, yet captures interest
Music that matches the look and feel of your video; and finally
Editing all these components together into a compelling video.
It just makes common sense for you to do what you do best: take care of your business, and leave creating compelling video to seasoned video producers.
