Using Video To Your Advantage

Two Top Tips for creating video demonstrations of your products or services.

We find that you often have only 15 seconds to capture someone's attention and, if something can be conveyed in one minute, don't drag it out to five!

These include four 'live' camera recordings, four image slideshows and a graphic animation.

Our aim is to produce short, inexpensive, informative or promotional slideshows, graphic animations or mini-movies within a small budget. These can be uploaded to YouTube (with website links), embedded in blogs and other Social Media and included on clients' website pages to add interest. Here's one we created...
