To answer that question, I went to YouTube and searched for “Medical Malpractice New York.” The first video that appeared featured attorney Robert Sullivan, and had been viewed 61,738 times. Other related videos that appeared had 23,309 views, 54,217 views and 39,173 views. While you can dismiss some of these as folks with way too much time on their hands, you’d think that some of these viewers had to be looking for attorney. 


Figure 1. 61,738 hits on a promotional video for an attorney? Click the figure to watch the video.

I called Mr. Sullivan early in the day on a Friday, and caught him (perhaps not coincidentally) driving to his beach house on eastern Long Island. Mr. Sullivan related that his firm had never advertised previously, but that one of his associates had suggested the video because their firm’s web site got lots of traffic and the video would let potential clients “see who we are.” His firm posted the video to YouTube and their own web site at about the same time, and yes, they had received multiple calls from prospective clients who had watched the video on YouTube.

What’s interesting is that Mr. Sullivan was planned to produce the video anyway, so posting it to YouTube was essentially free. That makes the cost per impression exceptionally affordable, wouldn’t you agree?

In addition, the same benefit could potentially extend to any professional selling personal services, whether an accountant, stockbroker, investment advisor, business consultant or personal trainer. Videos help prospective clients get to you know you much more intimately than text on a web page. And once you’ve invested in a video, it makes loads of sense to upload a copy to YouTube. You may not get 60K+ hits like Mr. Sullivan, but the benefit will almost surely outweigh the cost.

Most of us own a camcorder that sits in the closet and collects dust.
Wouldn’t it be a great idea to dust off the cobwebs and begin shooting a video for your website? Not a good idea. Why? You want a video that has very crisp audio or you will lose a potential customer. They will hit the back button and leave. 70% of the video will be audio. The lighting is also very important. If you don’t have special lighting that works, along with a quality HDV camera, your visual will not be good. There are also special screens you need to use behind the person that you’re shooting. You’ll need special editing software. If you plan on creating a crisp presentation, one that will leave a lasting impression on a potential client, then think about hiring a professional videographer and do it right. Leave the camcorder in the closet.

Online Video Production and Post Production. What should I expect to pay? Does it cost a lot of money?
How much time will this take?

I shoot online Videos for Professionals. Most people, before they even evaluate my work or know exactly what they want, the first thing out of their mouth is “How Much does this cost?

Let’s talk about this: If you were looking for a house to buy, would you walk into a house without knowing what features this home has? You must have done your research because you landed in the right neighborhood. Would you continue looking at the house if it had the three bathrooms you like? The answer would be yes! You do your research, know what you want and buy within your means. It’s the same with online video. You want to buy a professional video that’s created just for you and that’s within your budget. A pretty picture, and if you don’t like your photo, there are ways to fix it to meet your expectations.

The cost associated with making a high quality video for your website can vary with most productions companies.
Let me put it this way. If you’re an Attorney, or a business man, looking for a video for your website, and it’s just you
talking on the video. How much should that video cost? Have you thought about the time the person put into shooting the video, editing the video, creating a masterpiece just for you? Think about that! I have heard ridiculous amounts such as $17,000.00 to $5,000.00 and $600.00 just to host this on your website monthly! If you are going to have video online have a professional do it, but you don’t have to pay overpriced rates either.

At mediaedits.com, we pride ourselves in giving our clients the highest quality for a fare price.

Don’t be fooled by a Digital Video Productions crew or a green screen studio, you don’t need one. You don’t need to pay for them to rent the studio.

The video work I do is high quality work,I am able to make video extremely affordable for you, the business person. I don’t need to monopolize your day by renting a studio for 8 hours. I will come to you. The system is which I shoot the video, never needing a studio and my post production techniques.

Your professional time is very valuable and your spare time is limited. If you have a quiet office or conference room with enough space to do a relaxing interview, and of course enough electrical outlets, the videographer will bring his equipment to your office to shoot. There are certain screens and lighting equipment he’ll need to have, so clear space to shoot is essential. You should plan on reserving at least 2 hours of your day for shooting time. If you wish to shoot in a studio, you should expect to pay a fee for renting the space and a fee for the videographer to travel there. You could then be looking at an entire day, perhaps 8 hours! Be aware that the quality of the video will depend on the person shooting the film and their knowledge of the industry. Sometimes less is more and you may not need to go through the hassles of renting a studio. Remember, this film will be online for all to see so it needs to be visually effective as well as informative and rewarding. Do not cut corners on quality; this video will be a direct reflection of you and your business, so do it right!

Everyone seems to be talking about online video and the impact it has on your Internet presence. We live in a very visual world and it’s important to be visually connected to our audience. Ask yourself this question: If I land on a website that has video, compared to one that just has plain text, should I choose the website with the video as opposed to the website without the video?

Think of it this way, the website with the video will allow a potential client to have an instant connection with you and your firm as well as allow you to tell your firm’s story in a warm and compelling manner. A targeted video will enable you to spotlight a particular legal topic or practice area and showcase your firm’s expertise. Your video will also allow you to reach your audience with more information, encouraging them to contact you for assistance.

Let’s face it, the attention span of a consumer landing on a website with only text and graphics is usually between 3-5 seconds. A video, if it’s done correctly, can capture the potential client’s attention and draw them in on a much more personal level creating stickiness to the site. Stickiness means the customer is more apt to stay on the site and read on. Look at it this way, a potential client has a problem, your website can address their issue and what better way to reach out to someone and explain their issue. A professionally created video will give the consumer the feeling of being engaged directly with the Attorney.
