HOW CAN We PROMOTE YOur NEW VIDEO?
We advise clients to promote their new video content through social media and then repurpose it for use in multiple media channels.
Can you Shoot stills on the same day you shoot the video?
Portraits for individuals or groups can be shot on the same day as the video if they are arranged in advance. They require different equipment, setup, and lighting, so pre-planning is essential for us and cost-effective for you. The shoot includes your review of the four best images, choice of image, retouching, and burning to a disk.
