This is probably one of the most informative videos on the business side of videography! Thank you so much for sharing these tips. Truly shocked that this only has 1,600ish views, this type of content videographers need!

[@bpiiproductions]

Seriously. It provides a lot of insight into how to look at the business side of videography, something that most of us artists lose sight of.

But this was great value you provided who once to amp up their video business!
