Who am I?

I’m Andy, and I make all the videos for one of the startup world’s favorite companies—InVision. Over the past couple years I’ve been neck deep in learning what makes for great, effective product videos—by making a lot of them, and watching the data.

I’m so excited to share what I’ve learned that makes my videos reach and average 40% conversion rate (when capturing emails) and an 80% completion rate (which means the amount of people watching all the way to the end.)

I’ve been a designer for the past 10 years, working in everything from global agencies, small businesses, startups, and even a fancy piñata shop. (okay, that last one is my wife’s business, but it still counts.) It turns out that along with design, I love making product videos. The ability to create powerful video content without even turning on a camera is one of the most valuable and intoxicating skills I’ve gained in recent years.


Uhh… What’s a product video?

Right. Good question. A product video is a screencast-based video involving your product that is thoughtfully conceived, produced, and edited in a way that makes it much more than “just a screencast”. They’re relevant, professional, and polished. By the time you’re done with this course you’ll have people asking you “who do you hire to make your videos? They're great!”

It’s a good feeling, trust me. :)
