Anyone can get started in this business. The hard part is getting known.
Bottom line: you’ve got to expose yourself to every aspect of the field. Dive right in and get your hands dirty. Join a video club, volunteer your time producing videos for non-profits, get involved with your local cable access station, take classes, attend conventions and expos.
The best promotional tool you have is the standard of your work. If you make good videos, you will find that people seek you out. Make sure you include your contact details on the end credits and DVD cover! And have business cards ready!
