DIY activities or do-it-yourselfers are a great test of creativity and an excellent opportunity to overcome economic constraints. They can also be therapeutic or fun leisure activities for the whole family. However, as the DIY craze catches on and with more information about different technical jobs readily available online, many believe almost any project can be completed swiftly and economically as a DIY.
Creating your own marketing and promotional videos may seem like a great way to save money, but it could end up being a disastrous decision. From hazards to financial implications, there are several reasons why it’s best to leave video production to professionals. In this blog, we’ll discuss the top reasons why creating your own marketing and promotional videos is a bad idea.
1. Hazards
While creating your own videos doesn’t pose any real safety hazard, it does come with the risk of not knowing what looks good or sells. It’s also likely to be time-consuming and difficult for one person to do with no experience working with cameras, editing software, and content creation. One of the most significant hazards is the risk of ending up with poor-quality footage, which can make your business or product look bad.
2. Financial Implications
Creating high-quality video content requires more than just a camera and some editing software. You would have to buy props, gear, camera equipment, and so much more. Camera equipment and production tools, such as professional audio and lighting equipment, are all very expensive. The cost of buying and maintaining all this equipment can quickly add up and end up being more costly than hiring a professional.
3. The Importance of Professionalism
If you’re looking to create a marketing or promotional video for your business or product, you want to ensure that it’s of high quality and looks professional. A poorly produced video can do more harm than good, potentially driving customers away from your business. Hiring a professional video production company like Black Lemon Studio ensures that your video is of high quality and looks professional, helping you to stand out from the competition.
Do Things Right - Hire a Professional
Remember that many things could go wrong with DIY content creation and editing efforts. You could shoot the content in the incorrect camera settings, waste a day or two of filming, or not save the footage correctly, so you lose everything you shot. Terrible footage to work with, the final product looking like low-quality trash, and making your business and or product look bad are all risks you take.
If you insist on taking on this project on your own, you need creativity, knowledge of how to work on a set with actors, how to operate a camera, and audio equipment, how to ruin lighting, and how to work with the editing software to bring it all together.
Fortunately, you are not alone. We are trained, skilled, and know how to do this because we’ve worked with countless other projects. We know what looks good and how to do everything so mishaps don’t happen. If you are concerned about the costs of bringing in a professional, it depends on the project size and what the client is looking for. So it ranges. But it’s a lot cheaper than if you were to do it yourself with no experience.
We save you time and money and give you peace of mind so you can focus on doing what you do best. From writing, directing, and editing, we do it all. We work with you to bring your vision to life, and we ensure that your video is of high quality and looks professional.
