Create Your Own Great Videos

I network regularly and talk to lots of small business owners that would love to do videos for their website, but they just don't have the budget to do it professionally. So what do they do? They often produce their own "selfie" videos, using their phone, tablet or inexpensive consumer cameras. The result? Not so professional videos!

The most common errors I see in self made videos are, poor sound quality, bad lighting, lousy framing, and scattered or unclear messages. This is not a great way of branding your business, and if you read the latest marketing surveys, branding is huge. So what does a small business do? Why not learn how to make better videos on your own? I can help you do that!

I am putting together a webinar/workshop, that will show you how to vastly improve your self made videos, with a few easy to implement and inexpensive tips. Look for a posting in April for date(s) on this event. Call or email me if you would like to learn more. Also, check out our Video Consulting Calls, where we can help you create great videos over the phone or via a skype session.

    Just wanted to reach out and thank you for videoing our daughter's wedding in VT last Saturday!
    And thank you for being so unstoppable when your car broke down!
    We hope you were able to get to your next wedding and also resolve your car issues with the same unstoppability!

  • "I am extremely pleased with the videography work of Michael Connell at HBSU.  I contacted him just a few days before performing in a live symphonic concert at Boston's Wilbur Theater, hoping to find someone to film the show.  He was very quick to respond and not only captured excellent HD footage from multiple angles, but also took care of recording audio directly into the live mixing board - something I hadn't even thought of!  He was a professional in every sense of the word, and I wouldn't hesitate to use his services again."
    Best, Jillian

  • I was initially overwhelmed with the project of scheduling and shooting videos of 16 of our doctors and providers. But working with Mike was extremely easy--his flexibility and low-key professionalism made the entire project come together easily over 4 separate shooting days. He put the subjects at ease which allowed them to talk easily about their passion for medicine. I am happy to have found such a great resource for future video projects.

  • Easy set up and cordination. The quality of the video was excellent and the finished product was handed over in a short turn around! Would use his expertise again and would definitely recommend his services.
