1137. A Day in the Life: What's It Really Like to Be a Video Strategy Storyteller Expert?

“I come from a video filmmaker background. In the beginning it was just a lot of short films sketch comedy bits that I was doing with friends and family. And really that’s where it started for me–that creative storytelling entertainment aspect of video. Eventually that turned into more corporate type videos, lots of interviews–people explaining about their business and their promotions or whatever they have going on. Eventually we started moving into producing more broadcast TV commercials with actors and things like that. Really that’s where my heart is. That’s the stuff that I really enjoy doing for businesses, creating that story-driven scripted content. We still do tons and tons of every other type of video and explainer videos, tutorial videos and training videos. Anything a business needs video related, we do it. But really I feel like our bread and butter, where we excel, is storytelling. Creating content that is engaging and connects deeply with people and ultimately drives them to the businesses that we are trying to market.

“I’m really excited that currently we’re into post-production on the first feature film that I’ve produced. So I’ve worked on a number of feature films, been involved in a number of different capacities from production and post-production, but this is the first one that is my project. I didn’t direct it, but I was part of the production staff. That’s the big one that we’re doing right now.”
