8mm
8mm is an app for the Android lovers. There have been a couple of changes to the app with the recent lollipop updates to Android, but nonetheless this is still a great app to consider. Add a 60’s twist or a cinematic vibe to your video. Also available for iphone and ipad

iMovie
The iMovie app is another popular video tool to use on the go. Similar to it’s big sister (the desktop version) you have the ability to add various effects, audio, text and of course those funy special effects. For recruitment we’d recommend holding on the elongated nostrils special effect.

Hyperlapse
“Dude, seriously? How professional is that?” I say, “Dude, who wants to watch a 30 minute office tour with boring interviews that are scripted and rehearsed?” Take Hyperlapse for a spin. Film a brief intro describing your opportunity and introducing yourself, then it’s off to the races with a hyperlpased office tour. This is video marketing to a whole new level.

Flipagram
This is a great app to use in an effort to combine those great images you’ve take at company picnics but have zero clue as to what to do with them. Think beyond Pinterest and get with the cool kids. Use Flipagram to create a story of images. Take control of your Facebook and Instagram pages. Get conversions and interested people clicking.

Stop Motion
We’ve all seen these out there. Stop Motion videos quickly became the hippest viral videos on Facebook 2 years ago. How do you use stop motion video for recruitment? Simple, grab a conference room, some people and some items that describe your workplace or the job that you are promoting. Stop Motion away. Look at the demo below. It’s not a job related video but use your imagination.
