Shocking Statistics You Need to Know About Video Marketing | 522 Productions

Shocking Statistics You Need to Know About Video Marketing | 522 Productions | HDSLR | Scoop.it

Did you know that consumers only retain 10 percent of what they’ve read, but up to 95 percent of a video they’ve seen? When we talk about video marketing, we often focus on the strategies that make video marketing better, but we sometimes forget why we engage with videos in the first place. There are so many statistical benefits to using video marketing that it’s shocking more brands aren’t taking advantage of it! Video is extremely effective at communicating your message to your audience, and it’s important to know why. By understanding why video is so effective, it’s easier to harness its power.

Shooting Film: Americans Bought 35 Million Rolls of Film Last Year

Shooting Film: Americans Bought 35 Million Rolls of Film Last Year | HDSLR | Scoop.it

These days, every cellphone comes with a camera, you can buy a point-and-shoot digital camera for under $100 and high-end DSLRs and mirrorless cameras capture amazing photos. Considering that digital images appear instantly, you can edit and share them online or print them an infinite number of times without losing quality, there’s little reason to use an old-fashioned film camera. According to an article from Yahoo! News, Americans bought 35 million rolls of film last year....

Six Tips for Cutting Down Mic Wind Noise | Videomaker.com | HDSLR | Scoop.it

So you've got the camera set up, your talent is miked up perfectly, and the shot looks stunning. Your audio guy (or perhaps you if you've got a small crew) slips on the headphones, and that's when he hears it. The windstorm that seems to be blowing a hurricane force wind directly into your mic. Since we're not likely to be able to just turn off the wind, and fixing it in post can have mixed results, here's six tips to cut down wind noise on your mic...

How to Fix Timestamp Issues on Multi-Camera Shoots

How to Fix Timestamp Issues on Multi-Camera Shoots | HDSLR | Scoop.it

Having multiple shooters at an event is beneficial because it allows the event to be captured at different angles. One shooter might catch something significant that another shooter missed; therefore, it is always good to have an extra pair of eyes while shooting a big event. However, having multiple shooters means multiple cameras and it is important that the timestamps in all the cameras used at the event are synced to one another. This will save you a lot of time in post-production when you have to cull and edit your images because the images from all the shooters will be organized together. You will be able to see the same scene shot at different angles, which can help you select the best image for each particular scene...
