Music creates and amplifies emotion. It always has, and it always will. Using music in a video creates an emotional response in the audience, and that emotional response motivates the audience to take action. There are many ways that music can help a video make an emotional connection, but let’s take a look at three in particular.
Video accounted for 50% of all mobile traffic, and for 69% of all sales and marketing campaigns as of late 2015. Facebook alone has seen video overtake its platform, with video accounting for 75,000 shared content pieces in 2015. Your audience is using social media every day, so your business needs to be leveraging its social media channels in order to reach and grow your audience. But with so many social media channels available, you might find yourself trying to…
Video creation is typically split into three stages- pre-production, production, and post-production. Most people are, to some extent, familiar with the production stage; “the lights, camera, action” of the business, and the stage at which the video footage is captured. Post-production, typically seen as second most important, entails the edit and finalization of that footage, after which it finally can be syndicated. But what slows video creation exponentially in both stages is the lack of effort made in pre-production.
“Where do I look? Do I look at you, or do I look at the camera, or what?” After setting up for an interview, our interview subjects often ask us where to aim their line of sight. This is something that may seem trivial in the frenzy to properly stage the other critical elements (light, camera, makeup, background, etc.), but believe it or not, the subject eyeline is often the difference between a successful interview and a poor one.

After investing more man-hours than you ever thought you would, spending the money to get all the bells and whistles, and pushing your idea through each stage of the process to make it a reality, you’ve finally done it; you’ve finished your brand’s new video.
Let’s say that you are trying to save some money by changing the oil of your car engine. You’ve never done it before, but if a mechanic can do it in half an hour, how hard could it be? You have a general idea of what you’re trying to accomplish, and you’ve bought the recommended oil and set aside an hour for the job. But once the hood is open, the job becomes more intimidating.
Between quarter 1 of 2014 and quarter 1 of 2015, we’ve seen a 100% spike in mobile video consumption. If you think that statistic might indicate a trend, then you’ll be amazed to see the prior year’s statistic. Between quarter 1 of 2013 and quarter 1 of 2014, analysts measured a spike of more than 360% in mobile video consumption.
Last week I had to unclog a pipe under my sink. I feel the need to disclaim that I am no plumber, and I certainly don’t have the brand, make, and model of my sink memorized. For that matter, I don’t care for puzzles, and I am easily frustrated by an immovable object. I often compare my DIY skills to those of the three stooges. So, after opening my under-sink cabinet, the first thing that I did was break out…
Render Perfect has a Drone! Yep, we jumped on the aerial bandwagon. How couldn’t we? The thought of shooting 4K footage from the air was just too tempting. It is the final frontier of video production. We had to go there! We have been waiting for a good time to pull the trigger on a Drone. When we saw the 3DR SOLO’s promo on the No Film School NAB newsletter feed, we knew that it was time.
Video Marketing is a lot like fishing. The end goal is to reel in a client and push them to act within the terms of your business structure. But, just like fishing, where you choose to cast your line decides how successful you will be.
