Inform and educate your audience – Kelly’s Deer Processing
Buying local in Michigan is so important today. Having a video on your website that informs and educates prospects into doing business with you is important. Buy Local Video Profiles are ideal for everyone to tell their story.
How much time is needed to videotape my Buy-Local Video Profile? The Buy-Local Video Profiles are set for up to 3 hours on-location videotaping at generally one location.
The Buy-Local Video Profiles are done primarily as an interview. If we are interviewing speakers, we actually prefer an unscripted shoot as it is far more authentic and natural. Think of the interviews as more a conversation, rather than a question and answer session. However, this is your video and we work with you to get the feel and results for your videos.

Telling a video story is what Producer-Director Duane Weed is all about – your story.
Telling your video story does not have to be complicated. In this example I took an audio recording and pick certain segments to tell that story. For video used the GoPro time lapse function – then the edit using Sony Vegas. After picking out the audio segments enhanced the video story with title graphics to bring home the message – this is not easy. It took an hour or two to find just the right segments to use. It is a soft sell approach, not in your face advertising. Connecting with an emotion, a thought, a message. The video story is that – a story…. your story. For years we have preached that everyone has a story and we are telling it. Yes that is true – it is our job. However, it is also our passion… our purpose in life.
A video story has a message that inspires. The story is what moves people into a call to action. Is that call to action to call you? Is it to visit a web page set up for the viewer? Is it to make them pause and think. Video does all that – DW Video does all that. Contact Duane today to discuss your story.
Everyone has a story to tell – that story can be told in a varitey of ways. What we do at DW Video is work with you to meet your goals, focus on your audience and promote the benefits you and your business offers.
