Anna, it’s not shameless. Sometimes the reason we dont buy is because we dont know!. We’ll work on the audio quality - no dramas. All that takes is giving one of the poor geeks I work with a damn good thrashing. And I agree re the length - because we “adlibbed” this, we didnt use a script and were not aware of the time. It’s also the reason we had to load to Google Video and not YouTube, because YT only permits videos that are 10 mins or less. Lesson learned.

Like Bill, I think it was really good, but the audio could have been louder. Also, the content was really interesting (am looking into email/newsletter options at the moment in fact) but it could have been slightly shorter. I’ve found, both personally and working with video that people’s attention spans are really limited these days (no reflection on the quality of the content necessarily, although ofcourse it helps..)

Bill, thanks for the comment. Appreciate that the quality was sub par - we are using a JVC Everio GZ-MG275, 40Gb hard drive camera. Apparently hard drive cameras still dont talk well to Mac’s, and in order to convert to iMovie, we have to export to another program before sending to iMovie. We’ll work on the sound quality issue. It’s a work in progress!

I like the video interview concept and you did a good job but the sound could be better. What camera are you using? I’m looking at including video interveiws on my site and the camera choice is an important one. Appreciate hearing your advice.
