re: The Video Resources and Technology Updates That Have Changed the Game...
Capturing or obtaining professional quality video USED to require thousands of dollars worth of gear or licensing fees. And while next-level video technologies and productions still rely on high-end gear, the reality is that, for people like you and me, we no longer NEED that expensive gear MOST of the time!
We have options today, and lots of them. For starters, if you have a smartphone in your pocket or purse you ALREADY have high-quality video production at your fingertips! That is an obvious change in the production of video, but it's also just the beginning. Sources for video stock are ALSO changing! More and more photographers and videographers are releasing their work into the Public Domain for ALL to use. Exciting!
And then there are the new methods for using Public Domain image content, combined with some clever tech wizardry, resulting in AMAZING, "how-did-they-do-that" video clips. High-end videos that used to require using a company like Industrial Light & Magic and an entire staff of trained professionals, no longer does. Anyone can achieve some of the same types of results using low-cost software and a little creativity.
I know...it sounds hard or like a pie-in-the-sky dream, except that it isn't...if you know and understand the secrets to unlocking the magic.
