Hi, I’m Mike Webster, Real Estate Marketing Dave. And this podcast is all about building a strong personal brand. People have come to know like trust and most importantly, refer. But remember, it is not their job to remember what you do for a living. It’s your job to remind them, Let’s get started. 00:06:11:12 – 00:06:33:10 Unknown What’s up? Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the other episode of the Real Estate Marketing Dude Podcast. And most of you been listening to the show for years know us as video, and we haven’t done it with video, video marketing and all that other stuff. And we haven’t done many podcasts recently on video, but the title of this one is How to Shoot Videos That Don’t Suck. 00:06:33:10 – 00:06:54:15 Unknown And folks, I can tell you that in the last few years, all the videos we’ve created, the thousands of videos we created, there is a formula here and it doesn’t matter if you’re ugly, you’re fat, you stutter, it doesn’t matter. The biggest, I would say, reservation I get from people and they’re trying to get on camera and they would hire us was be like, I’m too boring, I’m ugly. 00:06:54:15 – 00:07:14:19 Unknown I’ve a face made for radio. None of that shit matters when it comes to video. You have to know two things how to main, how to maintain and retain attention, and how to take people through a story essentially and add value to them while you’re doing it. So we brought on Mr. Steve Stockman, who wrote a book on how to shoot videos that don’t suck. 00:07:14:19 – 00:07:37:20 Unknown This dude’s in L.A. He creates shit for people and he’s very creative and he’s going to break down. I don’t know, let’s call it the infrastructure of a successful video, if that’s okay. But without further ado, let’s go ahead and introduce our gas and we’re going to break it down for you guys. How to create videos that people are actually going to watch and that you’ll feel happy to put out there on social media, YouTube and all the above. 00:07:37:20 – 00:08:03:19 Unknown So, Steve, how are you doing? Why don’t you tell everyone a little bit about who the hell you are, where you’re from, and let’s get in Skype, all kinds of questions for you. I’m doing great. Thank you for thank you for having me. So I do TV shows, then a feature film, music videos, basically. I’ve been in Los Angeles making a living as a director and a writer and producer for quite a long time, and I like to teach about video. 00:08:03:21 – 00:08:37:19 Unknown You know, when the big video revolutions started, it started to be like a doctor at cocktail parties. You know, you’d walk in, but instead of saying, Hey, could you look at this boil on my neck, they’d go, You know, I’ve got a video. Could you look at it for me and tell me how it is? And what was funny about it was that it was almost always a series of related problems that were perfectly understandable because in the olden days, I don’t know if you remember the olden days, but nobody asked you to make videos in the olden days and the olden days videos were things that people who are professionals like me made and 00:08:37:19 – 00:09:03:06 Unknown normal people never made them, and in fact were so excited to see themselves on a TV screen when they walked through the the video store at the mall that they would point and smile at it, you know, which we don’t do anymore either now that everything is on video all the time. So so I wrote this book and how to Shoot video that Doesn’t Suck is in nine languages and 250,000 plus copies. 00:09:03:06 – 00:09:30:18 Unknown You can get it wherever books are. But the reason I wanted to talk to you is I just did a video course also that’s designed to help people really understand how to make video that other people will want to watch. So let’s break it down. Where is everyone going wrong? Well, I think the first the first most important thing to think about when you think about video is what you watch, right? 00:09:30:20 – 00:10:01:18 Unknown Because even though none of us or many of us are not professional videographers, we understand video. We’ve been watching it since we were born, basically. And so we speak the language, which at least we understand it, you know. And so if you trust your instincts, that’s probably one of the first rules of video, which is if you’re doing a video for a house or a real estate project and you’re looking at it and going, Oh, this is crap. 00:10:01:20 – 00:10:26:19 Unknown It’s crap, you know, so the director’s job, oddly enough, is to stand up and go, This is the way it should be. This is the color. It should be. This is where the actor should stand. This is how I want to point the camera. And directors get paid a lot of money to do that. If you’re running your own business or your own your own real estate business, you have to be willing to do that for your videos and be real honest about what you like and what you don’t like. 00:10:26:22 – 00:10:48:15 Unknown And don’t put anything out
