You Tube Advertising

You might be surprised by the demographics of who watches You Tube. According to Nielsen they state that nearly 55 percent of YouTube’s U.S. visitors in May 2006 were ages 35 to 64, with an additional 19 percent in the 25- to-34 bracket. Most of the viewers are older white males that are highly educated with a high income bracket. Advertising on You Tube was not taken seriously a few years ago, but now it is becoming a viable media outlet, as You Tube has grown by popularity being used in conjunction with CNN at the primaries. For businesses wanting to advertise and save advertising dollars in this depressed market, You Tube offers an alternative to expensive television advertising. Even though the economy is in a tailspin right now, as a business trying to reach out to your customers, the last thing you want to do is cut your advertising budget. You can still get your message out to your customers with an effective You Tube advertising campaign. Our company VS Video Productions based in Denver has been in the video advertising business for 18 years. We can be reached at the information below.

How to get a job in Video Production

This article addresses some tips on what you need to do in order to get hired for video production jobs.I decided to write this blog because of the many inquiries that we get for video production jobs.If you are just getting out of college with no experience don’t expect any production company to let you start shooting their clients projects. The way to get experience in this field is to do internships to gain experience and this should be done during your last two years of college. After college don’t expect to make lot’s of money, our industry doesn’t pay lot’s of money. Ask the employer if they can give you a trial run for free. Prove to them that you can do the job. You will probably start out as a production assistant or a video tape logger. If you can prove yourself doing some of the lower end jobs, eventually you will move up. Have a great attitude and be willing to go with the flow.   The most importatnt  tip to get hired as a videographer or video editor is make sure you have video samples available preferably online that an employer can see your work instantly. Our industry is a visual medium, resumes do not cut it in our industry. Take advantage of the free uploads on You Tube, Google and Aol. I just recently hired an individual in a matter of a few minutes because he had a video sample on Youtube. If you are compiling a demo tape, make sure you stand out from the rest. Create something that will catch the viewer eye in a matter of a few seconds. Create a compelling story with your videos, don’t just point and shoot, anyone can do that. In order to get a job with my company or other video production companies,  is show us what you can do don’t tell us. We will offer more tips on how to get a job in the video industry soon.
