The Video Show Podcast

This week I'm joined by musician, TikTok-er and accidental politico Jim Woolfe. Jim runs a family business but we didn't talk about that at all, we discussed his passion for making music, and how he gets the word out on TikTok wearing his literal and figurative different hats.  You can follow Jim on TikTok here: https://www.tiktok.com/@scaredcatmusic?lang=en Connect on Linkedin: https://www.l...

This week I speak to voiceover artist, King of connecting people and all round nice guy Martin Whiskin. Alongside his voiceover business Martin creates some incredible videos to promote what he does, as well as his networking group 'The Creative Collective' a fortnightly networking meeting for creative business owners.

Having spoken briefly to Anne Lise about her voiceover career I thought it would be a brilliant idea to get her on the show to discuss how voiceovers work in the video world. I use voiceovers regularly in videos, and have a particular way of doing things, but would Anne Lise's way be different?

I've known Peter for a few years now, and he's always been passionate about crypto currency. Having made a few videos with him before lockdown I saw that he had continued to produce content for his YouTube channel. But how do you build and maintain trust when you're in such an untrustworthy market? Crypto is notorious for scammers and for being particularly volatile. So how does Peter do it? Peter...

I've long been an admirer of Ryan Armitage from Tezlom. Having become aware of him over the course of lockdown, I saw him all the time in his Tezlom videos. I've since been lucky enough to film at the Tezlom offices and see how Ryan works. It's great to see a business leader lead by example when it comes to video, and Ryan really puts himself a the centre of what Tezlom do.  You can connect w...

I was lucky enough to meet Rowena at a networking event where she was showcasing her new short film: Strange Waters https://www.rowenaamos.co.uk/strangewaters As somebody who has made a number of short films in the past (and is currently making one) I jumped at the chance to chat with Rowena further and find out as much as I could about how she funded, cast, shot, edited and promoted her film. Row...

This week I'm joined by Zoe Hanson 'The Podcast Lady' to discuss loads of different questions around podcasting. I got talking to Zoe on Linkedin about how to get guests on your podcast, but Zoe's experience in radio and podcasting gives her a wealth of experience to give us all a fascinating insight into the world of podcasting.  Zoe's Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zoe-hanson-5b4647b...

There's a huge problem with having #YouTube videos on your website. At the end of the video you get a load of suggested videos to watch, they could be related to your search or watch history, they could be videos of a competitor, they're there to get the viewer off your website and onto YouTube. So what are the options? 1. Keep using YouTube - if the video is optimised properly, it will help your...

At the back end of 2020 I spoke to Ed Purnell about putting a show together for Expense Reduction Analysts. The idea was to show potential franchisees and people thinking about running their own consultancy that they'd be better off talking to Ed and ERA.  We started off with one series in late 2020 and another in mid 2021. Then Ed started his own podcast 'The Franchised'. In this conversatio...

We're back for a new year! In this episode I discuss the trends I see coming for video in 2022, including: Where you should post your videos. The future of TikTok. Video conferencing software. The METAVERSE! And making long form content.  You can watch The Video Show over on my website http://www.redbookproductions.co.uk/the-video-show And find all my stuff here: https://linktr.ee/MarkRedBook

With Christmas just over a week away I found myself thinking 'Do I need to buy any cool new camera gear?'. I just bought the new GoPro, do I need anything else? And do we all need the best and most expensive equipment to make the best videos? I talk through your buying decisions when it comes to purchasing new equipment. Enjoy! Feel free to leave me a voice message with your questions for future s...

In this week's podcast I delve behind the scenes in the creation of a new show with my friends at Coconut. We've wanted to create a long running show for a while, and after a year of trying to get it off the ground we finally launched our first episode. I'm so excited to see where it goes and how it helps build Coconut as a brand. It's going to be great! You can check out The Franchise Marketing S...

Over the past 6 months I lost my focus on what I wanted my videos to be, and what I wanted them to do. I had no video strategy, partly because I was 'too busy' to implement one. Having a clear strategy on what you want your videos to do is hugely important. Don't just make videos for the sake of it, know who you want to see your videos and what you want them to do and more importantly 'feel' after...

I've made a number of short 2 minute films over the past few years, but this year we really wanted to stretch ourselves and see how far we could push it. So far we've casted the film, and are now about to storyboard and sort out props and locations. It's exciting, but we're already learning a lot.  I want to keep you posted on how the film is doing every few weeks just to chronicle how a shor...

This is my 3rd or 4th attempt in making a Video Show Podcast, this has GOT to be the time it works right? I'm hoping to use The Video Show Podcast as a platform to go into more detail on the videos I've been making, to share with you some of the results we've been getting with various videos on various platforms, and also discuss my upcoming short film that we're planning to shoot in February 2022...
