DucaiMann strikes me, from what I've observed as a hands on kind of guy. Having produced a few informational youtube videos for a non coffee related industry, I can attest to the time and effort involved in putting a useful, quality video on line. It may not cost much in actual cash money but the time expenditure can be tremendous. Time is Money when you run a business.

A little off-topic, but one of my biggest regrets is the amateurish quality of the Newbie Introduction to Espresso series. There's lots of good information, but the production quality and pacing are embarrassing by professional standards. I would like to reshoot it... someday.

Nowadays my day job at IBM is producing/scripting videos like this one. Each one represents weeks of work and these are "low budget" ones that would need reshooting for our high-profile inbound marketing campaigns. This is a long-winded way of saying: If DucaiMann or any other vendor doesn't want to represent their brand with handheld smartphone videos, I fully appreciate that point of view.
