Why Trust is So Important in Video Production

Video producers are trained to “see” what a video will look like long before it even exists. On a shoot, we must make decisions that are irreversible and will have drastic effects on the final product, so we are literally editing the video in our heads as we are filming. Because of this, I always ask my clients to trust me during a shoot; I won’t be able to explain all the actions that I’m taking, but I have their best interest in my mind. 

#ProTip: Find a videographer that you trust.

If possible, try to meet your video producer before you commit to the project. Ask about their experience, their ideas and their style. Make sure you feel that you can trust them with the huge investment that will become your video. Then trust them to make decisions that will make your project great.
