Working with a new startup that is keen on building a solid video marketing strategy is quite rare because video production tends to take up quite a bit of resources and time that startups usually cannot budget for.

Choosing a video production service can be difficult especially when you are inundated with choices online. With so many people having access to camera equipment, it is very easy for anyone to say that they can make a video.
As a filmmaker and artist, I am constantly looking at other people’s work to learn from and be inspired by. One of my favorite things to film is a music video. Having a music background, I find that all of my films are highly inspired by the music itself.
Commercial video production can prove to be tricky. It is easier for companies to follow trends and things that have proven to work.
