“I 4kChat because I have a business that needs to be shown — not reduced to a postage-stamp tile.”
Depth for people who need video that shows a business — the product, the finish, the face — not a postage-stamp tile. Week 1 covers high-end 1:1 calls; Week 2 covers small-shop remote production review; Week 3 is for creators and podcasters interviewing guests from afar.
