Generally all 4can be done in 4 hours. However, again, if the Promo Video idea is more large scales than it could take longer. If you get all 3 Videos it’s 10% Off.
First, you will decide a place to shoot. We recommend your place of business or a job site. The videographer will arrive, in the case of an Intro video, they will begin by interviewing the Manager or Owner of the Business. We have a sheet of 10 questions, the Manager and or Owner will pick 5 out of the 10 to answer on camera. The videographer will then shoot what is called BRoll, which is your business in action. These are things to cut away to while the subject is speaking in the video.
For the Testimonial video you will need 1-5 past clients to participate. They all must be at one location to be interviewed. They are simply asked 2 questions each… “What is your name?” and “Please tell me about your experience with Your Company?” The videographer may ask follow up questions. Then the videographer will film BRoll of you and your team interacting with the past clients and your business in action.
For the Promo Video generally what is done is the videographer arrives and films the business in action. There is no interview for the Promo Video, though there can be a scripted Voice Over read by somebody from the business or you can have it done professionally through us for an additional fee. The Promo Video is unique in that it really doesn’t have structure like the other videos. It’s a creative process by which you come to us with an idea you have or we help you develop a vision of something fun and unique.
A Promo Video can be a highlight video of your company’s latest conference or a viral, and funny, video to get people excited about your product or service. You will discuss with Andrew Linn, the Owner of Vidz For Biz, a vision for a video. You can make creative suggestions, but primarily you will tell us your goal with the video and we will help you to come up with a video that’s fast paced and engaging to a broad audience. Once the final vision for the video is agreed upon than the date will be booked for filming. We also help to write a script for the Promo Video.

Once you’ve signed up and paid you will have access to this course for one year.
This course is for those who know fundamentally nothing about filmmaking or about shooting videos with their Cell Phone. You can go from knowing absolutely nothing, to knowing more than most successful YouTube creators on how to make professional quality videos for you and your business.
Yes, the things taught in this course concerning techniques, styles and theories can be applied to any filming device. However, the course does recommend equipment specifically for Cell Phones. But, seeing these products can give you an idea of what you need to look for for your specific camera. The course also recommend things such as backdrops and mics that have no specific application to any specific camera but are great assets to be used and filmed with any type of camera.
You already have the pro camera on your cell phone. But you will need some additional equipment to meet the bare minimum of professional video. Everybody’s different, and not all things recommended need to be bought. Depending on your goals with video you can expect to spend somewhere between $100-$400. You can even spend as low as $50, to again, get the bare minimum of professionalism regarding video quality. Remember though, this Course is to save you money in the long run. You can easily spend $500-$1000 on just ONE VIDEO from a Professional Videographer or Company.
