People Tell Stories. Not Tools.

It’s tempting to make sure you have the right tools to capture your organization’s video story.

And on and on...

Tools don’t tell stories. People tell stories.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m surrounded by tools: video cameras, an audio studio, motion graphics and editing suites.

I’ll also be the first to admit I really love certain editing effects. In fact, they have become part of my own branded signature.

But these tools simply enable our stories to be created and shared.

Remember: Story first. Tools second.

What do you think?

Thanks to Seth Godin's recent post for the inspiration.

Have a super weekend.
