Scriptwriting. Shooting. Audio. Editing. Pacing. The VideoBiz Book provides insights into them all. But Seeing how it’s done cuts time out of your business development. Having access to lists of production resources helps. And real life case histories puts the icing on the learning cake.

We tell you how we did it, which was a challenge since our startup wasn’t even part of the country we grew up in! Well tell you how to find a “starter” client, how to get the word out, how to use publicity, word of mouth, person-to-person exposure, the web, social media to get your name out there! 

Achieve your goals

It doesn’t matter your age or IQ, your education or your bank account, you have as good a chance as the next, person. This book will give you the shorthand you need to be a video-making success.

"Brien is the Master When It Comes to Storytelling...

He knows what a client needs before the client knows they need it. It was a privilege to work with him and learn from the best. No matter the medium, a good story is a good story – and Brien can go right to the heart of it to make you laugh, make you cry, make you laugh until you cry, make you think, make you open your wallet, make you change your mind, whatever you want your story to do.”

I give Brien and his firm my highest recommendation without reservation

They executed a short video 3-5 minutes on time, on budget and with great narrative effect on a short time frame. Great experience in the field which works to the client’s advantage. Understands that video must work for the client — not just for their own creative portfolio. A pleasure to work with — high integrity.
