Understanding IP Video: How the Internet is Changing Video Production

Phillip Huynh — Tue, 23 Apr 2019 07:00:00 +0000

Video Production and Post is heading off another cliff, instead of propriety cabling and embedded signals, we move to the future by shedding legacy connectivity and embracing IP (internet protocol) connectivity more commonly found in video security systems.

IP Video has the potential to change everything, native IP video is common in security systems and broadcast environs, where Sony, Grass Valley, Panasonic, Canon, Ikegami and others already have IP enabled camera systems today. Join Gary Adcock while he demystifies IP video and explains the best and worst parts of the IP Video revolution.

• What is IP Video and how will it affect non-broadcasters?

• What are the advantages of IP production over traditional SDI based solutions?

• What are the disadvantages for smaller facilities?

• What infrastructure changes will be required?

• What does this mean for the future?

How to Upsell Services to your Clients

Phillip Huynh — Tue, 26 Mar 2019 07:00:00 +0000

Sales?! As creatives that is often a four letter word. Creatives are not known for being the best at sales or promoting themselves. So if that sounds like you and trying to go out and land new clients seems like a root canal maybe consider something a little less painful – upselling your existing clients!

Yes that still is using the word sales but believe me increasing your services to your existing clients is way easier and after this webinar may not even feel like selling to them. In this webinar I will go over the best ways to add value to your clients, offer new services, get additional rental gear on your jobs and even secure more work on an ongoing basis.

-How to talk to your client about their needs

-“Showing” your clients the things you can do they may not know you offer

-Asking the right questions that leads you to new opportunities.

-Straight up asking them for work (but not in a way you might think)

I’d like you to think of this as more of a question and answer session with your clients that will lead to new revenue rather than you doing sales. In the end the better you can understand your clients needs and communicate your skills will result in more work (i.e. money) for you and a happier client in the end. It’s a true win – win.
