    Online hire - Does anyone do this for a living?

    Hi HobbyMounts, I would say GoPros are pretty low value in terms of camera equipment. It really depends who you are pitching at - but I would imagine most sports users would rather buy and own a device as they will want to go out and 'train' and do their sports more than just once to make the...

    How much is too much for an explainer video

    No, I don't, but people seem to do it and I want to know why. As I said it's not something we do ourselves, we just can't get all that done for that low a price and it just doesn't make sense for us to work on such small projects. But more and more people are turning to video and getting these...

    How much is too much for an explainer video

    Well of course, it's kind of difficult to determine a ROI for small companies as each sector varies so widely. Anyone who manufactures or does something unique that comes out well in an explainer video will do well as will someone offering a service where trust and putting a name to a face is...

    How much is too much for an explainer video

    Hi, I'm trying to gauge opinion on small business explainer videos and introduction videos as it's something we get asked about quite a lot but frankly we just can't do as the margins aren't there. Have you ever thought about using a video to push your company, product or brand - either a...

    Explainer Videos

    From our experience, I agree that 3-4 minutes tends to be too long for a first attempt at gaining someone's attention. However if someone is actually interested in your product then 1 minute is too short. My two pence would be actually to create two videos. A short 45-60 second introduction...

    I know nothing about tablets so help........

    Something like the Asus Transformer I've found is a great compromise. My old tablet I hardly used as emailing/browsing was tricky. But the Transformer has a clip on-keyboard and now I find when I travel it's far better than taking the laptop just to send a few emails. It's now basically as good...

    Leaflet Design Thoughts

    Interesting responses. We paid someone (PPH, so I'd hoped for better luck than we've had with fiverr etc) to do the design work but did the copy in-house. I agree that they are not working which is why I posted here, to see what to do about it. Thanks for the suggestions. I agree a showreel...

    How much for a video with presenter?

    I would say from previous experience, a professional presenter + camera + operator + editing for around £500 is tight but possible. Any cheaper than that and you're going to be scrimping on one of those areas and jeopardise the quality of the video. Yes, the presenter is key, but most production...

    Home / Office servers & rack

    You could easily place these into a rack, they're 1U each so pretty compact, although these servers are pretty deep so don't make the mistake of buying a rack not deep enough to house them! You can easily buy 9-12U racks designed for small office use, just be wary of the depth issue. You'll...
