From the time I could hold a pencil, I was in love with art. It later evolved to a love of what I found out to be Graphic Designing, while I was in early high school. I was then introduced to animation, 3D animation and video during the middle of high school. Before graduating high school with a distinction, I was blessed with a bursary to go study at Greenside Design Centre, in Johannesburg, South Africa. After 3 years I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Multimedia design from Greenside Design Centre.<\/p>\n

My career has been very experimental after that. I always designed but I also worked as a music manager and wrote for 4 different magazines at some stage, one of which, I designed from cover to cover. I ran an online radio station for several years while being a senior designer for an agency.<\/p>\n

I freelanced for several animation studios, and finally got introduced to social media marketing. This lead to me infusing all my talents to experiment in growing my skills of online marketing. My design, video and animation skills continued to open several opportunities.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve also faced retrenchment and even a company liquidation. But my faith and resilience brought me to a place where I could start my own digital marketing agency, which now focuses on online video marketing. Having web development and graphic design skills also helps us take our client\u2019s marketing to new levels.<\/p>\n

I believe that video marketing is the future and the more people we can help improve this skill, the more companies can grow and the more the economy can be impacted in a positive light. It\u2019s also one of the main reasons we started a YouTube channel to contribute to this mindset.<\/p>\n

Session: Stand Out and Break Out<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n\u2022 Lighting
\n\u2022 Audio
\n\u2022 Video Composition<\/p>\n

Another area that is not spoken about enough are:
\n\u2022 Confidence: How to improve or guide your client to feel more confident in filming better videos.
\n\u2022 Presentation and Execution: How to present or guide the talent\/client to express present in a better way to improve the video. A lot of videos out there, whether the person is on screen or off the screen, have presentation that is stale and does not command attention.
\n\u2022 Energy: This is the magnet that attracts even more people to one\u2019s videos. They say, \u201cThe highest energy always wins.\u201d This is true also when it comes to video.<\/p>\n

The last thing, which is the final touch, is learning how to dress your videos up in such a way that they are more unique. This can be done by designing a social media template for your videos, or even the way you edit your videos.<\/p>\n

As you improve in all these aspects, your videos will stand out more and more. Soon you\u2019ll not only stand out, but break out to a place where even more people view your videos and become interested in your content. You\u2019ll be so good, you can\u2019t be ignored.
