Online Video Lab
Are you creating online video today. ?
Corporate communicators, marketers, learning professionals and small businesses all over the world are picking up cameras and shooting video.
Communications professionals are discovering how online video can send their message further, faster and make it easier to remember.
Learning professionals are finding that online video is making e-learning more engaging and helping both comprehension and retention.
And amazingly, no-one needs to spend thousands of dollars on equipment anymore to create engaging online video that achieves their business objectives.
But are they creating video that achieves their objectives? There’s a big difference between online video and good online video.
Is All Online Video Created Equal?
Think for a moment about the online video people watch on YouTube. 120 million people watched Susan Boyle’s debut performance on YouTube. 32 million people watched the JK Wedding videos.
But how many other online videos attracted such large audiences? Not many. In fact most attracted very few audiences.
Every minute of the day, 24 hours of video is uploaded to YouTube. And most of it will be watched by very small audiences. Mom, Dad and Aunt May. And of course the amateur who shot the video.
No-one Watches Poorly Shot Web Video
A lot of online video is shot poorly and looks like an entry in TV bloopers or Amateur’s Finest Hour.
Online video is a fantastic tool for business communication, marketing, publicity and e-learning.
Now, the tools that exclusively belonged to TV professionals are available to you. And they’re better and cheaper than ever before.
But if your online video looks like it belongs on Amateur Hour, you’re unfortunately wasting your time and money.
You can’t afford to have video where the movements are constantly jerky, pictures blurred, the actors poorly lit and the messages obscured by amateurish use of special effects.
Imagine Your Video Success
Imagine, however, creating top notch online video content. Content that draws in the online viewer. Pictures that are sharp, in focus and well-lit. Transitions that subtly take you through the narrative without distracting you.
Imagine also, that you shot this video yourself. And it didn’t cost much money because you shot it using low end domestic video cameras. And it cost you less time and money because you edited it following principles that speed up the production process.
With those skills you impress your boss, colleagues and clients because you make great video content that impressed them.
You churn out the engaging video content fast without compromising quality by using techniques used by professional.
And you save your company time and money by doing it on affordable equipment that you at Best Buy or Frys.
