Video related questions are delivered to us in various ways, email, voice and when we’re live, just hanging out on social media apps. We compiled some great questions from wedding videographers for this week’s podcast...they have some pressing issues that need attention so we decided to invite two professionals to help with some of the answers.

Making a film or video is an exciting prospect and there’s a great temptation to get started as quickly as possible. However, any video worth making requires a great deal of planning and preparation, and that includes ensuring you comply with all legal issues...basically, covering your butt! On this week’s podcast, we stepped into the Videographer room on Clubhouse where attorneys Laura Cosgrove and Kevin K. Ross-Andino from éclat Law, gave great answers to the top questions that are a thorn in a videographer's side when it comes to legal issues. éclat Law (https://eclatlaw.com/attorneys/kevin-k-ross-andino-esq/) Join the Videographers!!! room on Clubhouse (https://www.clubhouse.com/join/videographers/yVJU7XZ4)

You know that space on the left side of an Amazon listing displaying a product video? It’s the first spot buyers go to learn more about what is being sold. It’s not an easy space to get a video there. Amazon knows the power video has over the buyer and this area of a listing is prime real estate that makes people rich. It's exclusive to only those who have the intel to get into that prime spot...until now! On this podcast, we’re breaking the code, exposing the insider secrets, and answering questions on how to get video on top of your Amazon product listing by cutting through all of the jargon that Amazon uses to purposely throttle back your success. We have our social audio app experts chiming in and Yakov Feglien, an experienced Amazon expert, is taking the risk and giving us the secret insider info to share with us.

We're getting many questions on product video production after our last podcast… amazing how many questions you have! So on this edition of The DV Show podcast, we are bringing back this theme for the second time. It's our favorite subject anyway: video production for ecommerce! Creating product videos… it's an entirely different world. The audience you're selling to is different, the audience you're creating videos for is different, there are different formats to think about, specific lengths to adhere to, social media platforms to post to, search engine optimization...and the list goes on! That's why we have Brett Lindenberg from Mindstamp.io (https://mindstamp.io) on the podcast to answer a question and offer a discount for his product. Our social audio app experts are ready to chime in with feedback and advice, and I can’t wait to tell you what is in the download vault this week - some great deals and discount codes to use – but you have to get your key – it’s free!

We’re getting into my favorite topic on this episode: ecommerce video production! An entirely different creative and business process before any video can perform successfully. Ecommerce product videos empower shoppers with product knowledge and confidence. Shopping online is an amazing resource for our busy lives and growing by leaps and bounds every day. But eCommerce sites lack the tangibility and real-life product demos that people get in brick and mortar shops. There is no salesman or pro staff to pitch the product and relay product information relative to each customer’s unique situation. eCommerce lacks the human touch. Video Review Labs creates eCommerce video experiences that make online shopping more tangible and genuine. When people are shopping for higher price point products or technically complicated products like pro camping gear or electronics, they need to thoroughly understand what they are getting in the box. When producing product videos, every e-commerce platform is different, the audienc

We have a great podcast for you this week - hopefully solving the age old issue of a client not coughing up the goods…you know, that client who refuses to pay you after all of the video work you did. Freelancing in the video production world does have its perks but one of the downsides is that risk that your client won’t pay on time and is seemingly unreachable. In the dating world, when someone stops calling and seems to have fallen off the radar completely, it’s referred to as “ghosting.” As you can imagine, getting ditched by last night’s dinner date is disappointing, but it isn’t nearly as traumatic as being ghosted by a client you’ve spent a lot of time and did lots of work for, but suddenly disappear on you…not cool! Today’s guest is Dee Bowden, she teaches small business owners how to reconcile, resolve & recover OLD and OWED invoices to improve their cash flow. She just came out with a brand new book called Collect the Cash (https://collectthecash.biz/) – a great resource for anyone who needs a

The face of video production has changed because of this pandemic –the usual productions are down, unemployment is up and we’re all trying to find ways to make ends meet. You may have even lost your full time job and looking to use your video skills as a temporary backup to start bringing in some income for yourself or your family. The new pandemic world has different needs when it comes to video….you’re questions and emails to me personally are so telling…you're not seeing the opportunities as clear as you should in this new world…but they’re there hidden right in front of you. It’s important to know where the opportunities are…where the “food’ is. On this edition of the DV show podcast, we’re doing two things to lead you to the promised land where the big buffet is

We are on a mission to rid this world of bad video. Now, what is bad video and not only looks and sounds horrible, but bad video doesn't do anything. If it doesn't engage or get results. It's bad video, and it's a waste of everyone's time and resources. One of my favorite unforgettable interviews was with Stan LeBar, the NASA engineer who headed the team that created that black and white camera for Apollo moon missions. Stan created the camera that engaged the entire world as they watched Neil Armstrong take his first steps on the moon. We all watched this during the worldwide television broadcast of the landing in 1969. Now that broadcast wasn't perfect, but we still view the historical footage to this very day, thanks to Stan and his team. Now we're pulling this podcast up from the archives, along with some audio not included in the original edited version, which was released back on July 12 2009. Unfortunately, Stan passed away six months later on December 23 2009. He was 84 years old. So we are once again

Video production can be easy. It really can. But video production that’s easy is rarely any good. It’s much, much easier to make a bad video.
