FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I dont have a complicated pricing system. In fact, the way I work is pretty simple. I like to talk to each prospective client and find out his or her goals. Once I understand what theyre hoping to achieve, I write a custom proposal with all the details. Theres no cost and no obligation for the proposal. I will simply detail the time and cost for the project. I will also include delivery time. Bottom line, every project and budget is different. I always do my best to prescribe the best way to arrive at the clients goal. I am confident I can exceed my clients expectations. And if I cant, I will tell them that from the get-go.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Absolutely! Its imperative to always be learning, but I think thats particularly true in a fast-changing profession like video production. I am constantly researching new products and new techniques. Whats really fascinating to me is that this is a profession full of thoughtful, giving, people. Its amazing to me how many professionals out there are willing to upload how-to videos. There are plenty of talented people willing to share their work, how they do it, and the tools they use for the job. Two of my favorites are Zach King and Larry Jordan. If you are an amateur or a professional, check out their work. Google them up, youll learn a lot!
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I began as a sportscaster in local television. When you're a "sports guy" you learn to do it all in TV. You write, shoot, and edit all your own work. That's invaluable training in terms of storytelling (which is all good marketing really is). Very few video professionals have the writing, on-camera experience, and technical expertise that I have.
