How to produce high-quality video content at home (Film School for Marketers, Ep. 41)

With many business professionals working from home currently, the need for more video content has never been higher, but how can you film high-quality content in your home?

This is something many of us are dealing with currently, so we were excited to cover it in this week's episode. 

Last week in the Film School for Marketers Facebook group, Kendall Guinn asked: 

"How are you continuing to film/produce content at the quality pre covid If your talent is at home using basic webcams that are built into their computers and don’t have good audio and you don’t have your videographer there?"

Thank you for your request, Kendall!

It's a great question, with some (hopefully) great suggestions to follow.

But, first, is that actually possible?

To produce the same quality video from your home without equipment, training, and/or a videographer?

The short answer: probably not, but perhaps that's not an issue right now.
