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 first thing to think about is whether you have got the suitable equipment to call yourself a full scale production company. If you do not already have them, the Canon D5 SLR photography cameras are a dream for shooting full quality, glorious looking HD video photographs. You will need portable sound hardware, and 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 after you've got a job for a business. You're going to need an edit suite. Final Cut pro is a fantastic professional option but the latest copy of Adobe Premiere is a dream for editing HD images. Make sure you have a fast PC with solid state drives (SSD's) that don't cause no lag, and a very high spec graphic card.

Next up you want to find some work. Build a website or blog which is a free and inexpensive option, you may also be in a position to purchase a professional blog theme that will make your internet site look the Shiz nit. Now it's to the promoting bit. You have 2 options. Adwords or SEO. Or both. Depending on your market and city or local area, you could be in a position to rise up to the apex of Google very fast with a little bit of back linking and index submission work.

If this area is not your bag run a few ads on Adwords. Prior to doing that head to You Tube for some Adwords coaching. Try hard not to get to involved with the company who's running the videos or you'll end up paying them cash to do an easy job that you can do, if you only carry out as little as 30 mins of video training.

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.
