Dateline: LAS VEGAS, NV, Sunday, April 13, 8:00 p.m. Las Vegas, NV. NAB and FMC Content Creators Party.
Flashback ninety days or so - I was making our NAB reservations and saw the following on the NAB registration form: Come relax Sunday night and enjoy great food, cocktails and entertainment at the hottest and most exclusive location on the Vegas Strip - the PURE Nightclub at Caesars Palace. This private function is a great opportunity to meet and network with industry professionals and peers including the Post|Production World Conference speakers. Since I am both a content creator and a content modifier, I registered for the event at a whopping $85.00 per ticket (it takes money to make money).

Denise and I presented ourselves promptly at 7:45 p.m. and then cooled our heels for the next fifteen minutes (at least she did, I was not wearing heels!). We are both well-heeled though, so when the doors opened, we walked in with the rest of the crowd and began to mingle. PURE is a stunning nightclub. The outdoor patio has a beautiful view of the Las Vegas strip. I imagine on a regular evening, PURE would be absolutely packed. It was nice to be there in a less crowded environment. The usual suspects were at this event. I can't say I saw a familiar face, but I did meet some new people and made some good connections, so that was a good thing. I met Michael Horton of the Los Angeles Final Cut Pro Users Group (LAFCPUG) and some U.S. ARMY video specialists from Ft. Bragg. One of them had an uncanny resemblance to Russell Crowe. The crowd was very diversified! I would say that almost everyone there was a creator of content - a video producer or a video production company in some manner or fashion.
Back to making money with video. That's what we do at Home Video Studio. We make money by both creating content and by modifying and duplicating content.
It's interesting for me to point out here that Home Video Studio is not a video production company. We are a video post-production company that does video production. Translation: We are both creators and modifiers of content. And there is more content being created now than at any other time in the short history of film and video. This is so important. What a great time to quit your current job and pursue your dream!
Look, there are tons of video production companies and video producers are a dime a dozen. That may lead you to think that there is a lot of competition or that the video business is over saturated. Not true. One of the most frequent questions I get is the "competition" question. We love competition! Competition is good. It makes any business stronger (if that business acts instead of reacts to their competition). Lesson one: Home Video Studio is not a video production company. We are a video post-production company that does video production. This allows us to pick and choose the videos we produce and frees us up to do outstanding and profitable post-production. We are both creators and modifiers of content.
And mining that content is PURE GOLD.
