All my best Videography in one Video

Audio products are essentially a means to an end for music and music is creative, so my view is…so should HiFi reviews.

Also personally, the making of YouTube videos and 3D models is a huge element of why I have a YouTube Channel reviewing HiFi gear and the enjoyment I get. It might mean I don’t make as many videos as some, but I’m interested in quality over quantity, so the ability to make videos the way I do has a number of advantages to brands and viewers;

  1. I live with the products longer so I have more time to listen to them whilst I am often making my creative segments.
  2. This means I have more time to compare audio gear and my review gets to the bottom of what the product is about.
  3. The video reflects the enthusiasm I have for reviewing audio products and attracts existing and new audio lovers.
  4. I can offer brands the opportunity of my videography at much lower rates than commercial videography and 3D services, whilst I am learning and getting better at what I am doing. There is also the prospect of offering videography to brands who are sponsoring me, whilst I carry out reviews, so you can use the clips in your promotional materials, adding to my value proposition.

I make content using Adobe After Effects, the industry standard for graphical video content, Vegas Pro video editing software, and Blender – which is open source 3d modelling software.

I'm music lover who shares experiences of faithfully reproduced audio in an ENGAGING way with HIGH VIDEO PRODUCTION VALUES. I enjoy and make reviews as I love audio gadgets, being a voice on audio and producing creative videos that ultimately benefit the industry and new participation. I keep technicalities easy, as I believe great audio serves music and music is inclusive and to be enjoyed by all!
