Video Production in a COVID World: Capturing Content at Home
The time may not be right for you to hire an outside video production company to create content for your organization.
We totally understand.
But we also know that new content creation can’t take a pause for too long.
To help you navigate video creation in the COVID-world, Copper Hound Pictures has created a “How To” guide so you can capture content on your own. With the smartphone you already own, and a production set that costs about $400, you’ll be armed with the knowledge and equipment to capture really nice content. Once you have obtained those video assets you can utilize available editing software, or we’d be happy to partner with you to create those final video files.
And if you ever want to ask a question or get some advice along the way, please feel free to reach out. We’d be happy to help.
