Every year, there are new versions of video software and hardware, so part of my job is to continually stay up to date on new developments. I've been doing product evaluations for many years, and have even written reviews on many media production products for Film and Video, Millimeter, Studio Daily, and many other trade publications.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Instead of just looking at the Thumbtack bid responses, take the time to look at the video examples on a vendors Thumbtack sites, and then take the time to call the vendors you are interested in. Regardless of whether I get a job, I'm always happy to provide some perspective and information to new clients. A quick conversation is a great way to know if you are compatible with a particular vendor, and to also get more insight into what your project will cost and how long it will take to produce.
- What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
