Spring-back talk: Video is your friend
Channel: CraftsCouncil
Date: 2021-06-25

Video can bring your business to life and help you gain a loyal audience interested in you and your craft. You can share your making process, the quality of your work and show the impact it has on other people. Many makers do not have the budget to commission filmmakers, but good video content can be achieved with smartphones and low-cost editing software. This talk will give you some tips on producing video content for your website and social media platforms.

Head of Business Skills, Caroline Jackman is joined by Carl Earl-Ocran. Carl is a London-based British-Ghanaian writer and director, with a longstanding passion for film and storytelling. Carl is a member of the BFI Network x BAFTA Crew 2021 cohort. Carl freelances in broadcast TV, runs his indie production company Little Boffin Films and can be found here on Instagram.

This presentation was part of the Spring-back talks programme. A series of ten free lunchtime talks held on Zoom, offering essential marketing advice for makers who want to prepare their business for digital and physical opportunities in 2021 and beyond. 

This talk series is part of Crafting Europe - a project funded by Creative Europe.
