You’ve seen YouTube make stars overnight. So you whip out your trusty camcorder or maybe even your smartphone and you think you’ll be tomorrow’s viral sensation.
Video production has become increasingly easy to do, much like beautiful photography is getting easier and easier to make on your own. Besides becoming easier to do, it’s becoming cheaper to do each passing year.
But there’s a reason why you don’t see the types of videos you might do yourself or see on YouTube selling product on national television networks. People expect professional looking marketing. And very few couples enjoy their wedding videos year after year because they’re notoriously horrible to watch.
No matter how much fun you might have making a video, unless it looks great, you’re probably better off hiring a professional for your professional, and for your once in a lifetime personal, video needs.
