Website Video has gained in momentum. Build a website, add video, add the website’s remaining text and content. This has become the norm for website construction these days. YouTube, MySpace and the popularity of viral video has created a surge of interest in posting video for pleasure but also in using video as a powerful means of advertising.

With a plethora of so called website video production companies and services being offered, how does one know the quality that they will receive? How can you gauge whether website video is money well spent? The obvious is by first doing research on the power of video and second, by checking a video production company’s video reel or sample demos in order to determine if there might be a good match between your message and the style of the production company.

Look for variety in a production company’s reel. A company that shoots a variety of styles, products, and companies can most often handle any video challenge including website video. Website video should be approached the same as shooting a commercial – the message must be captured within a few seconds of time in order to hold the attention of the viewer, sell your company, and create a buyer response. In this case, a buyer response would be a potential client choosing your company over one of your competitors. Video alone may be the sole deciding factor.  Don’t try to cut corners here.  This is advertising.

Why is website video production so expensive?  Well, it really isn’t given the following:

1) The equipment used for quality, professional website video is the same as that used to shoot a television commercial. It is expensive.2) It is an art to carefully pen a script that conveys a message in a short time span – the same as writing a television commercial. It requires professional writers.3) It is taped by crews who know their craft and have trained for years.4) There is magic in the editing process. Editing brings your production to life. Only professional editors know the tricks of the trade and can turn the video footage into a presentation that is effective and dynamic.

Shooting a professional website video that will convince your target audience that they should employ your products or services, takes time and skill with you or marketing department working in tandem with a professional video production company and its team.

The location of video on a website doesn’t diminish its value or equate to inexpensive. In fact, to the contrary – a website video is being viewed by people who are already somewhat interested in what you have to offer. The video is often the clincher!
