Does making professional quality video seem like an impossible dream?

How can you compete in a visual culture when production tools and techniques are so pricey and the learning curve so steep?
Regardless of what the pundits say, the democratization of video has not made it plug and play. Making video is still an art and a science, and it always will be.

The "Craftiness" of Video
Why must this be, you ask? Well, let me ask you: Is writing an art and a science or is it a program you buy? Can great writing be done by tapping a few keys? Well, OK, I guess it can, provided you know what the keys are.

How about illustration? Can you create a beautiful design by hitting 'Enter'? Of course not. It takes purpose and focus and skill and the right tools. Well, how about music? Surely you can compose killer tunes with the tools available today from Apple Computer and others. Hm. You know I'm being a little facetious, right?

All of these activities take skill, a little experience and the right tools. So why would you believe that video, which combines writing, visual design and audio excellence could ever in a million years be accomplished by hitting the send button? Of course I know you don't. But you still have a problem, don't you?

Every Discipline Needs a Mentor
The problem you have is that everyone is telling you to make a video, just make a video. But you don't want to make just any video, do you? You want to make something that won't embarrass you or hurt the image of your company. In fact, you know that with the amazing tools available now to get your video seen all over the world, if you do it badly, you could possibly put yourself out of business. So you're stuck between a DVD and a hard disk.

Where can you go for unbiased, expert, patient instruction on all aspects of video production and marketing? Well, in fact, that's why BrainyVideo exists. I got fed up with what I was seeing out there and I felt compelled to respond. This website is the response to a need. But there's more to this. Much more.

It's one thing to know the problem. It's quite another to be able to solve it. BrainyVideo has been developing these solutions for over 3 years. It's taken that long to get a handle on the many variables that go into the production process and delivery systems for teaching it in a totally unintimidating way.

What the free e-book is about
After more than 20 years in the production business, I've seen just about everything that can go wrong with a video.

As Sean d'Souza, Internet Marketing expert and CEO of Psychotactics and 5000bc, says about our book, The Video Brain, "Once I read Steven's book, I was able to take the right decisions and get the right equipment—and more importantly to set it up without tearing my hair out in frustration. Using his advice and methods, we were able to get our video productions finally off the ground. I just wish I'd had it before I made all those silly and rather expensive mistakes."

Testimonials

“Using Steve's advice and methods, we were able to get our video productions finally off the ground. I recommend very, very few products and this is most certainly one of them, because I've used it and found it to be of immense value!”

Sean D’Souza

“Steve is a gifted, multi-faceted communications visionary who is equally able to work in the creative and technical fields. He has the eye of a cinematographer, the voice of a poet, the authority of experience, and the humour of somone who has lived a life fully and experiences its foibles. Unlike many people who work in communications, he can sense what is a wave and what is the incoming tide, and anticipate its effects, and work to maximize the opportunities. A great communicator, storyteller, and all in all, a really good guy, who is also the worlds greatest pilot. My words, not his.”
