 We discuss:
[01:29]: Jon tells us how he went from being a cruise ship performer to a video producer by chance. How he learned from another professional photographer. And how he eventually decided to start as an entrepreneur video producer by himself. [04:59]: The most important part to start creating a promo video is to have the assets close-to-perfect to be able to show people the idea behind the design and gameplay experience.  [12:05]: How Jon does A/B testing for his videos and what he takes into account to know what might work and convert best. [17:36]: There’s no cookie-cutter solution or setup for every promo video for a game. It depends on what your game is about, your assets, and overall on listening to what would speak faster and better to your audience.  [24:00]: How Jon does storyboarding and some tips you can take too. [29:25]: Why taking the right amount of time to reach out and create videos and visual assets is crucial for success.  [33:38]: Jon talks about some of his all-time favorite Kickstarter videos. [36:07]: What Jon is working on now and how you can get in touch with him. [38:08]: How Jon has pivoted his business model after 2020, and what’s coming up in 2021.
