Amateur vs. Professional -Part 1

​Let’s face it video is here to stay and if you are on top of marketing and especially digital or visual marketing you have already heard that you need video. If you don’t have video on your website or social media then you are behind and are probably now scrambling to add some sort of video content. Though it may be tempting to try to figure it all out yourself, there are quite a few steps ahead of you, many of which may be challenging…but some of which are not. Ultimately, a professional video company will save you significant time, effort and money, while also producing a quality product that you can be proud of.
 
1. Education: Sure, It Looks Easy, But…
Experienced professionals make everything look simple. Come on we all know this. Obviously, training has value that you can’t always immediately measure. Professional video companies are staffed by individuals who know how to achieve the results that you want and make your final product look professional and not amateur.

Film project quality, lighting and audio quality depends highly on the environment and the equipment used to record. These are small things to fix early on that an inexperienced person or amateur wouldn’t even notice but that a professional would immediately know to look for at the beginning.

The question is whether you want to go through all of the training and education it takes to produce a high quality video yourself, or you want to pay the pros that have already done so.
 
2. Gear: Ultimately, the tools that we choose for any purpose will only be as useful as our ability to use them effectively. 
Video quality is highly dependent on the equipment used. No amount of editing, color correcting and sound tweaking can improve the quality of bad video
Professional video production companies have thousands of dollars of equipment specifically for this reason. A consumer-focused product is never going to achieve the quality that this equipment can. And, even more importantly, the professional production company knows how to use this equipment to the best effect.
