    Don’t Get Yourself Arrested! Hire a Professional Videographer

    The following HD video examples represents work done for Denver Attorney V. Iyer who specializes in criminal defense law.  The goal of each video is to pick a topic that Mr. Iyer addresses on-camera, and is compelling to organic searches and pulls the video to the top of the page for that specific key word phrase.  For instance, if someone got a DUI over the holidays, and was doing a search online for an attorney in Denver, the video with this topic in it could drive new clients to Mr. Iyer.   This technique is known as Video SEO (video search engine optimization) and was done initially in partnership with  Key Market Communications.

    While a client can choose to do multiple videos in one setting or stagger them monthly, video SEO works best when there are three or more videos online.  Each video consists of Mr. Iyer introducing himself near one of Denver’s many court houses in order to establish his presence to the viewer with his professional domain.   We also shot each opening video from a lower sight-line thus giving Mr. Iyer additional creditability and authority.   Finally each video topic was summarized in Mr. Iyer’s Law Office which helps to establish more professionalism and character.

    The production of each professional video required having a good audio in the field through a wireless microphone.  This microphone  allowed Mr. Iyer the ability to move towards camera while speaking, adding more drama and urgency to his message.  Most of the camera shots were done on a tripod with a focus of keeping the image steady and controlled so that the focus can be on the urgency of the message given by Mr. Iyer.  Since the videos are distributed online, it is important to remember to fill the frame as much as possible with the subject matter, and create a compelling reason to continue to watch.  Several tricks that we use are doing a slow move towards the subject as well as re-framing  for better composition (both of which can be done in post).

    The post production stage provided color correction, audio and music mixing along with lower third titles and closing credits that presented the domain site’s URL (which is “read” by Google).

    The end result are a series of legal marketing professional videos which will provide Mr. Iyer with a steady stream of online clients that have been introduced to him by his online videos on topics that have importance to them.  See how the videos look on YouTube.  The videos are also found on the client’s website in the video library.

    The Benefits of Video Marketing in 2020

    If you are not enjoying the benefit of video, then you need to get a plan into action for video marketing in 2020.  

    A Historical Perspective

    In the late 1997,  I uploaded a few QuickTime videos that to my website.  I remember talking with a Hollywood colleague about the idea that someday we could be producing marketing videos to be accessed online;  envisioning a world where television commercials might also be found online someday.  Little did I know how quickly that occurrence would happen and reshape the world of advertising with the launch of YouTube in 2005.

    Today most businesses use a variety of techniques to engage prospects including mail and email, SEO, print ads, banner ads, and online directories.

    But nothing comes close to the power of online videos:

    • Internet users click a video’s “Play” button far more than they click on image ads
    • Video is far more engaging and easier than reading a block of text
    • Videos go viral, allowing you to captivate a larger audience with a single video placement
    • Videos are interactive, engaging and informative, more so than other online advertising methods
    • Learning is easier and more effective with training videos

    Top Ten Benefit of Video: One video, numerous possibilities:

    While I could see the possibility that videos could be seen online through a video player on a website, the world was about to get a lot bigger:

    1. Mobile Delivery is an absolute must today.
    2. Use your video for online advertising in a variety of ways. Feature your video on a banner or pre-roll video ad on YouTube and similar sides.
    3. Reuse your videos for trade shows. Have the video loop continuously and draw people in.
    4. Send a link to your video via email. In a matter of seconds, you can have everyone on your mailing list watching your video and forwarding it to others.
    5. Feature the video in your business e-newsletter. Enhance your business communications with video.  Track the viewers.
    6. Broadcast your video on TV. Run an online and TV ad campaign simultaneously to increase results, compare response rates, and strengthen your brand.  Shoot in HD!
    7. Add it to your online directory listing. Many of today’s online directories are accepting video, allowing companies to provide insight about themselves to viewers.
    8. Display it at company meetings. Start your next quarterly or company meeting showing off!
    9. Use it as a hiring tool. Promote your business to potential candidates and highlight the benefits of working for your company.
    10. Motivate your employees and customers with your video.

  • Giving crowdfunding videos a high budgeted look

    Engaging Storytelling, Professional Production, and Visual Excellence: Elevate Your Crowdfunding Campaign with our Compelling Video Content

    Here is an example of how we do crowdfunding videos.  All videos have a budget that needs to be met,  but it is important that the video reflects the quality and value of what the crowd funding campaign is striving to fund.   Having a cheaply made or in-house video will be a disservice to that high end tech product.

    Captivate Backers and Fuel Success

    Crafting high-quality crowdfunding videos is crucial to effectively showcase the value and potential of the campaign. A well-produced video can significantly impact the success of the crowdfunding campaign by capturing the attention of potential backers and inspiring them to contribute. Here’s how we approach crowdfunding videos:

    1. Professional production value: We understand the importance of reflecting the quality and value of the product or project being funded. Our production team consists of skilled professionals who have experience in creating visually appealing and engaging videos. We utilize high-quality equipment, lighting, and audio to ensure the video meets the standards expected for a high-end tech product.
    2. Compelling storytelling: We believe in the power of storytelling to connect with the audience on an emotional level. Our team collaborates closely with you to understand the unique selling points, features, and benefits of the product or project. We then create a compelling narrative that effectively communicates these aspects, building excitement and generating interest among potential backers.
    3. Clear messaging and value proposition: We ensure that the video clearly communicates the value proposition of the crowdfunding campaign. By highlighting the problem your product solves, the benefits it offers, and how it stands out from competitors, we help potential backers understand why they should support your campaign. We focus on concise and impactful messaging to engage viewers from the start and maintain their interest throughout the video.
    4. Visual demonstration and testimonials: To showcase the product’s capabilities and build credibility, we incorporate visual demonstrations and testimonials whenever applicable. Demonstrating the product in action helps potential backers visualize its potential impact, while testimonials from satisfied users or experts add social proof and enhance credibility.
    5. Engaging visuals and editing: We pay attention to the overall aesthetics of the video, ensuring that it is visually appealing and engaging. Our team employs creative techniques, such as dynamic camera movements, visually stunning shots, and smooth editing, to maintain viewer interest and create a polished end result. We also carefully select background music and sound effects that enhance the video’s impact without overshadowing the key messages.
    6. Call-to-action and campaign information: The video concludes with a clear call-to-action, guiding viewers on how to support the crowdfunding campaign. We provide all relevant information, such as the campaign’s website or platform, funding goals, perks for backers, and any deadlines or limited-time offers. By making it easy for viewers to take the next step, we increase the likelihood of converting them into backers.

    Our High-Quality Crowdfunding Videos Reflect the Value and Potential of Your Product

    Ultimately, our goal is to produce a crowdfunding video that not only meets the budget requirements but also effectively represents the quality and value of the product or project. By employing professional production techniques, storytelling strategies, and engaging visuals, we aim to create a video that inspires potential backers to invest in your crowdfunding campaign.

    You need to do it right  the first time.  So find a video company that can demonstrates solid production value i.e. giving videos a high budgeted look.  Pay a fair value for those contracted video services.  Don’t except the filmmaker to work for a dime because you are trying to fund your dream.  Figure out a reasonable budget,  then offer the filmmaker an  opportunity to see additional rewards if the crowd funding campaign meets certain metrics.  Ask the filmmaker what they can bring to the table for that “extra” reward. All of which puts everyone on the same foot forward to making something successful.  Everyone looks a winner!
