In our youthful video production days, filming weddings and other events, we all got elbowed out of the way by a territorial stills photographer every now and again. These days, though, that same stills photographer has been sidelined by the ubiquitous need for video. Victory is ours! But wait, argues host Jeff Barry, there’s still a place for stills, and though they may have shoved us aside at the last bar mitzvah we filmed back in 2002, we’re here to open our arms, and say there’s opportunities being missed by brands that are already ponying up for a production day, and not taking advantage of capturing beautiful photos alongside the (admittedly superior) video production. Seriously, we’re over it.

When we went into lockdown, production ceased for months. How, then, were big brands going to hawk their wares? Many brands turned to a style of commercial that involved talent self-taping. A style already popular among influencers suddenly became mainstream. Host Jeff Barry unpacks the trend.

But for Ryan and Jeff, what sets this headset apart is that it's not just for gaming, or wandering around in virtual worlds; it's a workstation, entertainment arena, and, yes, also a gaming device. Is this something that, like the iPhone, is going to lead to new, more dynamic opportunities for marketers to reach their audience. Spoiler alert: Ryan is a hard-yes on this question.
