Here at SmallBusinessVideo.com I specialize in — you guessed it — small business videos (especially in the food and wine arenas), but I occasionally work on projects in other areas of video production.

Case in point: My good friend Fredrick Ford is a multi-talented singer/songwriter/dance music artist. He also is a talented videographer, creating lavish, multi-layered video productions of his songs. His production company is called MediaMakersUSA. I’ve had the pleasure of working as a cameraman on two of his music videos:

While I certainly can’t take credit for any of the AMAZING effects and tight edits of these music videos (that’s all Fredrick), I am proud to say that I shot the concert performance sequences of these videos, and some of the steadicam sequences as well.

If you are a musician or songwriter and need a fabulous music video to show off your talent, you should definitely consider using MediaMakersUSA. And who knows, you may even have me as your cameraman!

Everyone agrees that you must have a website for your business, and it’s fast becoming essential to have video on that website to inspire confidence in the consumer and show your professionalism (Not to mention in getting a good SEO ranking in Google and other search engines). To have a short film produced for your small business is likely to cost $1000-2000 or more, plus the challenge of finding a reputable production company, one who understands the personal chef industry, and who will stand behind their product.

I have been making videos for the last 3 years, and after making literally hundreds of videos for the Culinary Media Network and for restaurants, and food and beverage clients all over the world, I’m now offering the same service to fellow personal chefs and other small business owners for an affordable price.

Still wondering why you should use video on your website?

Don’t take my word for it. Here’s a video interview with Bruce Clay, Search Engine Optimization expert, who shares why it’s now ESSENTIAL to have video on your site if you plan on having a decent ranking on Google and other search engines in the future:

Bruce says: “I think, that a year from now, we’re going to be sitting here saying that if you don’t have video, if you don’t have engagement options on your website, you’re just NOT going to rank. It will make you last among equals if you don’t have them.”

43.3% of merchants will update their e-commerce sites with video THIS YEAR! If you don’t, you’ll be left behind. Customers trust companies they can SEE and get to know with video before they buy.
