Who Can Make Videos for Your Law Firm?
- You
- Someone in your office
- Shoot the video yourself and outsource editing to an editor or
- Hire an advertising agency (easiest and will produce professional quality videos)
- Hire a production crew on Upwork or Fiverr
Tip: You can hire a production crew and editors on Upwork or Fiverr. I hired a production crew to film a client testimonial. They were inexpensive and did a great job. They also edited the video, but I thought I could do a better job with the editing, so I asked for the raw files and edited the video myself. Editing is the most difficult part. I used free professional video editing software. It took me only 30 minutes to learn how to use enough of it to edit the video and a few hours to learn more editing tricks.

My First Video for My Personal Injury Law Firm
It’s easy to make videos. This is my first attempt to make a video. Everything you see in the video, I did myself.
My acting needs improvement, but the animations and editing are good. I bought software to make the animations in this video for my personal injury law firm.
Many popular YouTubers found their acting substantially improved after doing a few videos. Even if you look like me on a video, they’re still effective.
I created the graphic animations and edited the video. These and other graphic animations are available to you for free when you license 1-800-HURT-911®. Even if you hire an advertising agency, these graphic animations can save you thousands of dollars.
How to Make Law Firm Videos
In the Practice Tips section, you can find a list of the equipment I used and where to buy it on Amazon. I spent two weeks researching the best equipment at the best price. Altogether, the tripods, microphones, and camera gimbal cost less than $400.
I’ll tell you where to find a professional editor, or you can use the free video editing software I use. I provide a link to download it with tutorials on how to use the editing software. Following a video tutorial for beginners, I learned the basic functions of the video editing software in 30 minutes to create my first video.
