Make Web Videos That Don't Stink

Monday January 3, 2011

I really like to start the new year off with a positive attitude, but instead I'm gong to share this snarky article I just read, because it really cracked me up.  Web Videos That Suck profiles several supposedly professional web videos that, well, suck.  The author dissects the videos' faults in great detail, and offers suggestions for making the videos better.

It's a great read whether you're new to web video or an experienced professional.  For one thing, it's kind of inspiring to how bad some of the videos out there are.  After reading it, I feel better than ever about the quality of the videos that I make!

Of course, critiquing videos is easy.  Making them is not. If you're going to make web videos this year, and you want to make sure they stay off the Videos That Suck list, follow these tips for how to make a great promotional web video.
