3 Paths to Your Video Production
1. DIY A to Z. Plan, shoot and edit your own short videos
You may already have experience or a keen interest to learn. These videos can be short and simple. Editing is only getting easier with many new programs.
2. Shoot your video and outsource the editing
This option will make sense for many. You probably already take photos during the job’s progress so shooting video here & there doesn’t require changing your routine much.
3. Hire a local crew to shoot and edit
