That’s a topic you could speak about for hours and you nailed it in less than 10’! Great content once again! Thank you!

I really like what you did at the beginning: the establishing shots, getting out the car in slowmo - by jumping forward to the beat, this enabled you to shoot slow, but move forward quickly at the same time. By mixing the b-roll shots in the shop before he arrived, you were able to tell the viewer where he was going before he got there! Very clever. Good choice of music too.

I would have had the barber talk about why he chose his career and what he loves about it and then had the shots you used as b-roll to enhance the story. Probably would have had some interviews with his clients talking about why they love the service so much too or communicated written testimonials in a creative way to provide some extra social proof for his brand.

Hello Jason. The video quality and the cuts were clean, precise and had a nice flow. However, if this was a "promotional video" for a Barber...his audience would like to see his work. Instead...they saw YOUR work and he became second nature. At the very end...I thought I was going to perhaps see a quick "before & after" of his clients...that would highlight his talents. But instead...a client hugs him and the video is over. We really never saw any "finished products." Again...the videography and your cuts were beautiful, but it was HIS 'cuts' (pardon the pun) that should've taken more priority. Thank you for what do here on YouTube. I've been in the business over 30 years...but always looking for new ideas for my promotional videos.

Great job! The one thing I would like to point out is that he parked right in front of the doors to his shop... that doesn't send a welcoming message to his clients who will have to park further away and walk in... owners and employees should never park right in front - those spots are for the clients :)

I really like you interactions, and your approach to criticism. You take people's comments directly on the chin, and use that as an opportunity to improve yourself. It's a beautiful thing to see in a creative, and totally commendable. Wish you all the luck in the world Jason!

Thanks so much for making this video! I’m shooting a promo video for a friend this afternoon and I was so nervous because I’m a photographer not a videographer but after all these tips I feel way more confident! And sure that I can do it with just your examples and tips!

[adriankeleise]

i like how you threw in clips of the haircut during the intro of the promo video. just quick glimpses when he's pulling in with his car. jumping back and forth with time, i like it. thank you Jason

Great video, dude. I searched 'small business commercials', that's what my channel is completely centered on, and I found your video. This video was great, I'll be able add way more value to the videos I create. Everything I've done has been pro-bono. :) My videos can definitely improve. I'm excited to leverage your ideas! Thanks.

[lalasclawset]

You were so polite. I really enjoyed it. You didn’t say “subscribe to my channel”, it was “if you’re new consider “ subscribing I liked that . I enjoyed it. 💪🏽

[chipcurry]

Wow! That’s a lot of views! You asked for people to say how they would’ve done it. I don’t think any two people would’ve done it the same way. I would’ve gotten some soundbites from the barber and got to know him better personally. One thing I noticed about your video was the color was absolutely superb. Superb colors in the barbershop. Great job.

[THESKRGUY]

This video was so helpful. I’m just starting in this and so far I have a few businesses that are willing to let me come in and do some promo vids. I am doing them for free as I do believe that offering that, building a portfolio first is key. So I’m glad you said that haha.

[svibrstv]

Great Video! Just found your channel. I've been procrastinating for years and finally just got back into it and this video gave me some inspiration. Keep Grinding. New Subscriber.

[mariusnss]

Wow, thank you for a great video🎉 You’re having great examples and just laying it all out there for us. Lots of good advice in an effective order👏🏼

[SummonthePhoenix]

Love it dude!! I’m just getting into videography myself and love your intro to this video as well as what you were teaching us! Well done, great music, sharp shots. I hope to get to be at your level someday!

[SeanSamuels]

Wow. Top shot of bro parking! That was an excellent display of creatively shooting a slice of life.

[YMelStyle]

Nice tips! The final video was amazing, even I would go get the haircut lol

[ComeHereGreatness]

Good stuff Jason. Thanks for keeping it clean, short and to the point.

[TiffaniTube]

I think this video is perfect. The song was perfect- I think it tells a story of a classy barbershop that will attract classy men.

[rhanzandrougetv]

Awesome Promotional video. Will try to make one like this so I can develop my video editing craft. Thanks.
