Online Video Boss Mr. Andy Jenkins
By Internet Video Gal in Business Marketing with Video, Video Production Tips
If you have watched the online video marketing space over the past few years no doubt you are familiar with Andy Jenkins.
Andy, most well known as one-half of the founding duo of Stompernet, is a longtime video guy who graduated from NYU. Andy’s had a spectacular career in both making video and using it for online marketing. He was responsible for making the videos behind some extremely successful high-dollar product launches.
Andy also has used online video to provide quality content. I was a Stompernet member for a brief time. Inside their membership site was a huge library of high quality video tutorials. Andy is a true expert on how to make and use video. Best of all, they are not boring! Andy’s magnificently warm, witty personality makes them entertaining.
Andy Jenkins is getting ready to launch a product he’s calling The Video Boss. I think it is a title he has earned. He is in the pre-launch stage now and released his first video. It does a fantastic job showing how video is easily the best marketing tool available to anyone who wants to do it.
I watched the entire 20-minute presentation and I’ve got to say the man sure knows how to make persuasive video. It certainly wasn’t complicated from a technical standpoint, rather it was expertly crafted out of visual storytelling basics:
- Andy’s talking head, in this case him walking along the beach. (Nice background if you can get it!)
- Animated graphics
- Royalty free music, multiple cuts
- Sound effects
- Screen capture video
- Royalty free animated digital backgrounds
The pacing was rapid fire and he kept it alive with lots of humor. He even went to the trouble of adding incredibly funny “disclaimers” as small font text across the bottom. Now I will say, and this is not a criticism, that Andy’s talking head audio was not the greatest. Sounded like it was over-modulated at recording or something. They had definitely tweaked it in editing. That just goes to show that nobody’s perfect and mistakes can be overcome. The show must go on!
Next time don’t forget the headphones! 
Even if you have no interest in buying the soon-to-be-released Video Boss video coaching program, Andy’s videos are well worth watching. Not only can you learn from the actual content, but you can learn from his video style and methods of presentation. This video was designed as the first in a series to take viewers through a two-week pre launch stage.
The Video Boss product will be expensive, so sticker shock will be an issue for lots of people. However, no doubt the product will be incredibly informative and worthwhile for someone who is ready to learn video marketing from the master and apply it in their own efforts.
In the interests of full disclosure, I am of course promoting this product as an affiliate. I know it will be high quality but it’s also not for everybody. I would caution folks against a high end product like this unless they are completely ready to implement a full video marketing campaign and spend hours and hours learning and then doing.
I’ve listened to Andy a lot of the years, and I trust him to deliver excellent quality. That is not in doubt. I myself would love to hear everything he has to say about video SEO and marketing tactics. He is the boss there too.

Hi Lorraine,
I was wondering where Andy Jenkins gets those graphics from and what software he is using to produce his videos.
Jonathan Budd is releasing awesome videos this week through his MLM Launch Formula and its obvious that he has learnt from Andy.
Do you know where they get the graphics and what software they are using? I missed the launch of the Video Boss product.
Thanks

Hi Chris.
Although Andy’s finished videos are always wonderful, the individual elements are not anything special. Those graphics are all basic royalty free images. I do not know what software he used but most of those effects can be done in any program. What makes Andy’s videos special is his personality and style of script writing and delivery. I hope this helps.
Thanks
Lorraine
