DeezerThe year 2020 will go down in history as the year everything changed. The effects of a global pandemic continue to ripple through all our lives and previously unforeseen events and consequences are only just taking shape. One of the more positive effects of the crisis is the necessity for transparency and responsibility on the part of businesses and brands.
In this episode of the Video Talks Podcast we delve into how video can help those companies communicate and connect with their audience, building trust where there is so much doubt.
James Lee is a director and photographer based in Richmond Virginia. He runs Journey Seven – a creative video & photography company.
At the age of 19, James knew that being an entrepreneur was the only way he could pursue his dreams so for the past fourteen years, James has been through familiar successes, failures and the challenges of running a businesses day-to-day. He knows how important it is for other businesses and organisations to have reliable partners to collaborate with – especially in the creative field. His values include thoughtful communication, responsibility, guidance, and the continual improvement of both character and craft.
He recently got married during the first weeks of lockdown in the US and has since been working on a series of Covid-related films for the community at large.
