Working for many companies these days, video is a prerequisite to both shooting and directing and crafting the whole video. Clients will always ask if you can shoot video and have this included, and the short answer is yes and no.

As a rule in 2022, people, in general, are consuming more films, clips, and animations than ever before. In fact, over three-quarters of all internet traffic comes from video. Over one billion hours of video are watched on YouTube every day. There are more than eight billion video views per day on Facebook. YouTube is the second-largest search engine in the world and YouTube helps greatly in ranking position when combined with your blog and website.
After five years of working on my video techniques, I would say that the clear answer is yes, after all, is it not the other way around? Are videographers not shooting stills? I know that many times I was asked to shoot on the set of films but in the end, it was done by the director or some other guy in video production and therefore I made it my task to learn not only shooting but all aspects as much as possible.

I am now skilled at crafting and scripting, editing and grading and syncing with sound for effect. I have worked on advertising sets and worked with cinematographers and video directors and shooters and all of the above have been great news for me. I have directed a few campaigns and also lit and directed a few film shorts.
Working for many companies these days, video is a prerequisite to both shooting and directing and crafting the whole video. Clients will always ask if you can shoot video and have this included, and the short answer is yes and no. I will shoot it, and then I will not include it unless paid for, and it’s about being careful with clients and meeting their expectations. Many have been damaged by creatives who will shoot cheaply or include it and do it in a shabby way, thus giving a lower expectation for clients. Its this which is damaging the creative industries overall.
