Its very difficult to get that result unless youve had years of training. The latest figures by comscore said that only 10% of videos viewed on the net are non-professional. I say, if youre going to use video to promote you or your co, leave it to the professionals. <a href="http://www.ossian.tv" rel="nofollow">Louise</a> These days people expect to see professionally produced content.

It's becoming ever more important to marketers of every type. In my experience video is easy to do, difficult to do well. So many little things to consider. Audio is big. An external mic is necessary for good sound. Even that is not as easy as it should be. The mic I used for my last project did much better that the camera mounted one, but only recorded on one channel. (The sound comes from only one speaker.) Getting the lighting right is also a big deal. Nothing is worse though than what they call translation- having it look fine on the camera output, but come out too light or dark once on the computer. This is not to discourage anyone, but to say that it will take some experimentation to get acceptable results. Cheers, Keith West http://www.HotelMarketingSeminars.com This is a great topic.
