One of the most critical components of guaranteeing that your video content is polished, professional, and pristine is having the right video equipment at your fingertips.  However, as I was getting ready for another afternoon of filming at IMPACT HQ today, I realized something. Fresh lighting, rockstar-level cameras, and a dapper little clapperboard — yes, that's its real name — are absolutely essential: I always feel so official with this setup. I'll be in my trailer. 😎 But the true, unsung equipment hero of the video marketing world (in my eyes, at least) is Zoom. Yes, that Zoom, the video conferencing solution many of us spend our days in, politely "advising" coworkers and clients alike that they're on mute.  Because, when I'm getting camera-ready, Zoom is always there for me as the virtual mirror I need... to straighten my hair and do my makeup... because the bathroom is super far away, and...  ...hm, maybe this is not something I should admit to y'all. Maybe it's less "MacGuyver" and more "sad lazy person." Oh well, too late now.  Anyway, here's THE LATEST!  👉 "What are your best video marketing tips for making sure our video content is professional and polished?"
