ARVE Error: need id and provider
I have had the distinct pleasure of meeting a fantastic video producer who really understands how to create a video that is meant to be shared. Bob Gollwitzer of ProMobile Productions makes funny, edgy videos that truly capture a brands message can take it “viral”. What are some of the characteristics to define such a video? A “viral video” is one that entertains, inspires, or educates and makes your audience want to share that information as complete your call to action.
Making a video stand out which will benefit your business is not an easy feat. Often I have seen businesses put out a video where a guy drones on and on in a monotone voice as to why you do business with them. Usually they are in their office, complete with a lovely beige background and rubber plant to compliment their white dress shirt.
Below is an example of a video which allows people to get the gist of the superior quality, customer service etc that makes this store stand out above the rest. Bob is able to get all of this across in a humorous, tongue and check manner, which makes you build a connection to the store. I watch the video and think, ” Wow, these people are fantastic, fun people who think out of the box, and gee, doesn’t that produce look fresh and yummy?” It makes me want to go there and check it out.
Try to keep this in mind when creating your video. You are trying to get people to connect with you, your personality, your products and why you are different. You don’t want people to watch your video and think “Bueller, Bueller, Bueller”
Bob was gracious enough to give some pointers to me that I would like to share. You can learn more about his amazing video work at ProMobile Productions and Youniquevideo . Or check out his blog at Legacyleavers and get more helpful tips! Hope this helps!
