Want To Start A Video Production Business?

By Matt Hawthorn


Starting a video production business is much simpler than it used to be. This essay assumes you have got a working awareness of camcorders, selling, and intenet S.E.O promoting and advertising. No good having the skills if you don't understand how to plug your business.

The very first thing to consider is whether you have the acceptable hardware to call yourself a full scale production company. If you don't already have them, the Canon D5 SLR photography cameras are a dream for shooting full quality, fantastic looking HD video images. You'll need lightweight sound clobber, plus glide arms and a mini steadi-cam rig.

Get a couple of these with some lightweight sound provide and you're in business. You will need to budget for separate lenses but you'll get lots of camera and lenses for almost $10 000. This is tiny in professional video production.

You can always hire things like mini jib arms and cranes once you have won a job for a business. You'll need an edit suite. Final Cut pro is a superb professional option but the most recent edition of Adobe Premiere is a dream for modifying HD photographs. Make sure you have a fast PC with solid state drives (SSD's) that don't cause no lag, and an extremely high spec graphic card.

Next up you need to find some work. Build an internet site or blog which is a free and cheap option, you will also be well placed to buy a pro blog theme which will make your website look the Shiz nit. Now it's to the marketing bit. You have 2 options. Adwords or S.E.O. Or both. Dependent on your market and town or neighborhood, you may be ready to rise up to the pinnacle of Google pretty fast with just a bit bit of back linking and directory submission work.

If this area isn't your strong point run one or two adverts on Adwords. Before doing that head to You Tube for some Adwords training. Try to not get to concerned with the company who's running the videos or you will finish up paying them money to do a straightforward job you can do, if you only carry out as little as 30 mins of video coaching.

Your ad should mention pro video production. Or if you would like a moneymaking side job you might perform wedding videography. Your ad should display wedding videos, or pro marriage videograpy Arlington (or whatever town you are in). Bid on the keywords acceptable to your ad, and then select your town or area only as the target zone for your advert.
