In this first episode of a Christmas Mini-Series of The Video Show I'm joined by friend of the show (best friend?) Laura Budd from Social Butterfly Media. We're both huge lovers of Christmas, and get very excited when October turns into November (yes I know it's early) In this first episode we discuss the history of Christmas adverts, why they're something people look forward to and look at the first round of new adverts for 2022.

Nikki has had a very similar experience to me when it comes to setting up a video production company. We both did film at University and both were told 'you need more experience'. So I wanted to discuss how Nikki set up her business and what her future plans are.

Roslyn Wood runs Roslyn jewellery in Kent. She creates regular videos for her TikTok and Instagram reels, and I wanted to know how she comes up with ideas for content. Does she just shoot every single thing she does, or does she plan it out more? I rarely make videos about products, but TikTok and Instagram are so visual that 'how it's made' videos do really well.

I got chatting to Chris Wade who's currently sending his short film 'Wuurm' to a bunch of film festivals (and it's performing really well!) After watching the film I wanted to find out how the film was made, the effects that went into it and how Chris wrote, funded and marketed the film.

This week I'm joined by musician, TikTok-er and accidental politico Jim Woolfe. Jim runs a family business but we didn't talk about that at all, we discussed his passion for making music, and how he gets the word out on TikTok wearing his literal and figurative different hats.

This week I speak to voiceover artist, King of connecting people and all round nice guy Martin Whiskin. Alongside his voiceover business Martin creates some incredible videos to promote what he does, as well as his networking group 'The Creative Collective' a fortnightly networking meeting for creative business owners.

Having spoken briefly to Anne Lise about her voiceover career I thought it would be a brilliant idea to get her on the show to discuss how voiceovers work in the video world. I use voiceovers regularly in videos, and have a particular way of doing things, but would Anne Lise's way be different?

I've known Peter for a few years now, and he's always been passionate about crypto currency. Having made a few videos with him before lockdown I saw that he had continued to produce content for his YouTube channel. But how do you build and maintain trust when you're in such an untrustworthy market? Crypto is notorious for scammers and for being particularly volatile. So how does Peter do it?

I've long been an admirer of Ryan Armitage from Tezlom. Having become aware of him over the course of lockdown, I saw him all the time in his Tezlom videos. I've since been lucky enough to film at the Tezlom offices and see how Ryan works. It's great to see a business leader lead by example when it comes to video, and Ryan really puts himself a the centre of what Tezlom do.
