Here's how you can highlight your video production skills to potential employers.

Like all my posts and comments, I'm going to keep it real. You can have the most impressive work, but landing a great job is a different story. There's a vast ocean between those two points. It often comes down to who you know and whether your work matches what someone is looking for. You need an "in," and even that might not be enough. You can update your resume, hire a career coach, spend a lot of money, apply to thousands of jobs, and follow up with recruiters. In the end, it's all about connections.

Creating an impressive demo reel is a key to showing off your video skills: 1. Keep it short (under 2 minutes); 2. Start with your best work; It’s literally your visual resume that highlights your video abilities and your style ??.

Curate your video content into a presentation that is relevant for the audience you’re showing it to. Rather than simply relying on a generalised showreel that showcases the depth of your work, show examples of your videos to prospective employers that resonate with them, and are relevant to them. And then explain the context behind your approach: how you responded to the brief. Why you made the creative decisions that you did. What the challenges were. How you overcame them. And then how you would harness this approach in a video production strategy for your potential employer.

Criar um demo reel pode ser difícil para alguns, ent?o aqui v?o três dicas que podem ajudar: - Coloque os seus melhores trabalhos. é muito importante saber filtrar corretamente o que deve, ou n?o, entrar no vídeo. - Mantenha-o atualizado: isto pode ser difícil com a correria do dia-a-dia, e é por isso que muitos profissionais optam por criar seu demo reel no final do ano, com os melhores trabalhos dos últimos doze meses. Afinal, seu trabalho e suas habilidades est?o (ou devem estar) em constante evolu??o. - Foque no que interessa: evite misturar muitas categorias de trabalho num mesmo reel. Assim, você cria um padr?o onde os elementos se comunicam mais facilmente.

Add a link to your portfolio, even in your resume. Helps immensely. You can also try out platforms like notion if you want your resume to be accessible to anyone.

Updating your resume is good. But updating your portfolio is great. These days your portfolio is your resume in Video Production. People want to see what you've produced, shot, directed, edited, coloured, mastered and a bunch more (and if you specialise in one area, focus on that). Don't just show the final product. Describe the background of the project, what roles you played in the production of the project, and how you uniquely added to the end result. Take the time to create a simple, yet engaging portfolio through a website and people will begin to trust you more - which will lead to more work.

é importante manter seu currículo atualizado, visando sempre as novas oportunidades. Mas nem mesmo o melhor dos currículos, vai impressionar tanto os recrutadores quanto um bom portifólio. Por isso, mantenha-se atualizado sobre as tendências do mercado; evolua suas habilidades, através de cursos ou tutoriais e, por fim, n?o se esque?a de manter sempre um trabalho consistente. Afinal, sua qualidade e estilo s?o o que te diferencia de seus concorrentes, e é isso que uma empresa espera obter de você ao te contratar.

I think this is key because social media can be brutally honest at times. If you test a portion of your video production on social media and there are flaws or problems with it, the anonymous trolls on the internet will certainly let you know. Though I have much disdain for internet trolls, on occasion they have accurately pointed out inadequacies or inaccuracies in what I have created.

So many video professionals use social media to ONLY post their work. Yet I find a lot of people hire me because of my personality and workflow. Which is why I believe so many more people should share more than just their work. - Share your personality - Share behind the scenes content - Share what makes you different from your competitors - Share the improvements you're making to your client experience - Share stories of failures and how you've learnt from those mistakes to now prevent them from happening Show others you're fantastic to work with, align that with great work and you've have clients in no time. There's so many video professionals creating great shots in 2024. Give people a reason to choose you.

Mostrar seu trabalho é a melhor - sen?o a única - forma de ser reconhecido por sua qualidade. E as redes sociais s?o, hoje, a ferramenta mais poderosa para este trabalho. N?o tenha medo ou vergonha de expor seu trabalho na internet - apenas fa?a-o sem pretens?o. Seu post pode n?o bombar da noite para o dia, mas quando você mantém uma constancia, o algoritmo reconhece isso, e aumenta seu alcance pouco a pouco. Além disso, você ainda tem como b?nus o fato de que, se algum(a) recrutador(a) encontrar seu perfil por acaso, irá se deparar com um portifólio amplo e consistente - o que aumenta suas chances de conseguir uma boa oportunidade no mercado.

People, individually or in business, tend to buy from people they know and trust. Networking is KEY for anyone selling their video production services. While having cards, or electronic means of sharing your contact info (i.e. QR code) and link to your digital portfolio are essential, "knowing your audience" and how you and your services can help them solve their issues is equally, if not more important. Prior to attending a function, research the event, the sponsor and probable attendees. Many trade shows and other events publish a registered attendee list. Use this to develop a targeted game plan of you want to meet and have how your services have helped others like your prospective customers.

Almost 12 months ago I moved to a completely different city and new no one (and also started freelancing). Here's how I became one of the most connected people in the industry: 1. Consistently use LinkedIn to search for professionals in your industry and reach out to ask for a chat. (use search, connections of others, and referrals from friends) 2. Post content about yourself regularly. This will be seen to more people who engage with it - and soon people will be coming to you! 3. Followup, followup, followup. So many people send a single message and never followup. ^ many people in video production are busy. Give them a gentle nudge / followup message and they'll be much more likely to respond.

Criar conex?es é fundamental para ser reconhecido e conseguir grandes oportunidades. De nada adianta ter um bom portifólio e postá-lo online, se ninguém está lá para vê-lo. A comunica??o é a estrutura-base do audiovisual, portanto: comunique-se!

Uniqueness is what makes you stand out! Create content that others can't easily imitate. A unique style & approach when creating videos is a must-have!

Volunteering video production services not only demonstrates the type and quality of work you do, it expands your potential audience. Equally important is the value of expanding your network. People who volunteer come from a variety of fields. A fellow volunteer, who may not be in your current market, may provide an opportunity to expand your market.

Volunteer your services in a way where it benefits both you & the client. So many people offer free work to build a portfolio, but focus on what type of videos you'd like to do, what customers you'd like to work with, and offer a free service where you can go above and beyond to achieve this for a client. Then turn this into an incredible case study. If you're doing work you really enjoy, it's more likely you'll create a result that's far more effective for your client - which means potential employers can see the incredible work you can produce.
