Our First Video Marketing Class

Last Friday, Lees Productions LLC hosted it's first "Video Marketing 101" class at the Farmers Insurance building in Cherry Hill, NJ. It was a great opening to our new monthly program. Both current and prospective clients showed up to learn about how to video can help grow their business/brand.

We gave them a more detailed look into how video is going to tremendously impact businesses and social media over the course of 2014 and beyond. We also gave them ideas on how they can take advantage of this new, significant trend and use it individually.

Our audience also gave us great feedback. Based on their follow-up questions, we now have new tips and information that will be included in next month's presentation at DeVry University in King of Prussia, PA. We are also considering doing a few specialized classes that will focus on specific aspects of video and video marketing.

Thanks to all who joined us at our first class! It was a great success and we hope to see even more of you on February 28th in King of Prussia!

Lees Productions 2014 "Behind The Scenes"


The next web series we are creating is our "Behind the Scenes" program. It will be an ongoing mini-documentary of the different video shoots that we do. You will get to see what the actors, crew, and staff are doing. We will do mini-interviews with everyone involved and you can get the inside scoop on what it's like working in the industry. With this series, you'll see all the crew members and equipment in action!

Additionally, you will become privy to what goes into a production, what tricks we may have used, and how we overcame any obstacles. You will get to see first hand what goes into starting a business and shooting a video, corporate or film. 

Some of our "Behind the Scenes" footage will be from our YouTube.com shows, short films, a feature film, two-to-three documentaries, and any corporate work that we do. The independent film world can be a harsh mistress. Watch to find out how you can get over the obstacles!

Lees Productions 2014 "Video Industry Unleashed"

A lot is coming from Lees Productions in the new year. We are launching all sorts of programming on our YouTube Page. We will have an interview show, a 'behind the scenes' of Lees Productions series, five sketch comedy shows, and two original web series'. These shows will all be shot in our new studio and will air at different times during the year. We also currently have three short films, a documentary, and a feature film projects. Over the next couple blog posts, we'll describe each one.

The interview show, Video Industry Unleashed, is all about the video industry. We feature a new guest every week, from film professionals to marketing specialists. We ask them to give tips and helpful hints on how to get into the industry and how they have made their way. We ask them what a new college graduate can expect to see in the field they have just joined.

So far, we have interviewed producers, directors, directors of photography, actors, marketing specialists, writers, and many more. We will be interviewing professionals higher and higher up in the industry. We will speak with distribution company owners, news anchors, big time film directors and more. We want to bring everything to the fingertips of beginner film makers.

It is our goal through this series to help every film maker have a shot at making it big. We want to bring the industry tricks to the ones just getting started. We want to create a platform to move the industry forward and inspire new talent.
