This is an older project and a simple one that I shot myself using two cameras, operating them both to reduce costs. Video content and video marketing doesn’t need to be complicated but I does require a certain level of professionalism or you may be doing more damage than good. The following is a basic interview with Edmonton Artist, Zard Sarty, and the work he does with chaos theory. I did…
