Everyone hates how they look and sound on video…. yet we all know it’s where the future of marketing lies. But what about tips for creating video on a budget? Well look no further than this episode with Reid Kerley, founder of Loud Cat Creative.

- when you’re ready for professional video
- why you should do documentary style interviews
- what you have to achieve in the first few seconds of any video
- why videos in your car are a no-go
- how to dial-up your video persona as a performer, not faker
- a pet-peeve about who you SAY your target audience is
- common mistakes in shooting casual video
- equipment must-haves to get you started
- why you should caption video (and a smart way to do it easily and accurately)
