Refocus is a Handbook for the New Media Videographer., By billjv "billjv" (Smyrna, TN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Refocus: Cutting-Edge Strategies to Evolve Your Video Business (Paperback)
I have just recently started my own video production business. When I saw the description for this book, I was excited that it might have at least some good information relevant to me. What I wasn't prepared for was that this book is full of information and advice I needed, at the most important time for me to have it! Rarely has a book ever coincided with my own life's timing quite like this one did.For videographers and media producers this book offers a huge amount of great information on all kinds of topics related to a videographer business (or any business, but specifically for videographers). The section on sales and marketing is particularly helpful, and is as current as something like a printed book can be at the time of its publication. All of the info is very practical - it's obvious that the authors have lived their advice, and learned from their successes as well as their challenges. The book works to include lots of detail on both wedding videography and... Read more

Excellent "firestarter" to start your own video production business!!, By

It takes you step by step on analysing your abilities and posibilities this type of media offers in this era of technology and artistry. It's not about the great technology needed to perform professionally (as sometimes the magazines tend to sell to you), but about how can you make the best stories flourish (whether it is for personal or commercial purposes), and touch peoples lives with whatever you can get your hands on!! On the other hand, it helps you on the process of building your own video production business, or reorganize and restructure it, if you already own one. It has been a blessing to my life, and I hope it will be the same to you!!

Easy to read and full of great info., By Jon (South Carolina) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Refocus: Cutting-Edge Strategies to Evolve Your Video Business (Paperback)
For the past few years I have wanted to start my own video production business. I had some know-how as far as editing and shooting were concerned, but little else. A few months ago I was looking for some resources to help me out and came across Refocus. This book has been a very useful guide for getting me on my way to having a working business. The marketing and branding sections were great for me, I have very little experience in those areas. Additional reading lists and online resources add great value to the book. The chapters are straight forward, engaging, and easy to read. I'd definitely recommend Refocus to anyone interested in going into (video) business for themselves!
