Embarking on the journey of producing YouTube videos for the first time can be both exciting and daunting for brands or professionals.

While platforms like YouTube offer immense opportunities for reaching and engaging with audiences, creating high-quality content that resonates requires a strategic approach and technical expertise.

This is where consulting with an experienced video producer for customized training becomes invaluable.

Firstly, an experienced video producer brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the table. They understand the nuances of video production, including camera techniques, lighting setups, audio recording, and editing processes. By receiving customized training from a seasoned professional, brands and professionals can learn the essential skills and techniques needed to produce polished and professional-looking YouTube videos from the outset.

Pennsylvania company Nexen Construction embarked on a video vlog series with the help of consulting from All Business Videography. Their point-of-view storytelling of a year-long sabbatical is connecting with faith-based and entrepreneurial audiences on YouTube.

Working with a video producer provides the opportunity for hands-on learning and real-time feedback. Rather than relying solely on online tutorials or trial-and-error, consulting with an experienced professional allows individuals to receive personalized guidance tailored to their specific goals and objectives. This personalized approach not only accelerates the learning process but also ensures that brands and professionals develop the skills and confidence needed to produce compelling video content consistently.

Additionally, collaborating with a video producer for customized training helps brands and professionals avoid common pitfalls and mistakes. From understanding copyright laws and licensing requirements to optimizing video formats and metadata for search engine visibility, an experienced professional can provide invaluable insights and advice to ensure that YouTube videos comply with best practices and regulations.

Furthermore, consulting with a video producer offers access to industry-standard equipment and resources. While producing YouTube videos may seem straightforward, having access to professional-grade cameras, lighting equipment, and editing software can significantly elevate the quality of the final product. By learning how to leverage these tools effectively, brands and professionals can create visually stunning and engaging content that captivates their audience and sets them apart from the competition.

How much does it cost for video marketing consultations?

Typically, editorial consultations cost $55 per hour. Video consultations can cover a variety of general video best practices. The time can be used to storyboard and brainstorm video concepts. Consultations can help script materials. We can also coach professionals for on-camera performance, camera, sound, and lighting tips. Those tips go hand-in-hand with set, background and wardrobe choices. Clients typically schedule weekly or bi-weekly visits. Each program is catered to the brand or professional’s goals and budget.

For existing clients, this is the same hourly rate as having an ABV producer edit raw footage. Therefore, any editorial consultation under the umbrella of pre-production or production falls under the same rate. Some client fluctuate between pre-production consultation, and having a video editor jump into a project.
