Last week I posted directly on the Facebook page for this blog after I created a promotional video for an upcoming concert and the client had issues publicizing it with their own Facebook post. https://www.facebook.com/478531892336962/posts/875709779285836/ https://www.facebook.com/CreativeUploads/videos/254688168723961/ SERVICE WITH A SMILE I may get into how I captured and created the visuals later, but let's get...
