Pasadena, CA, January 30, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– As video consumption dominates digital media, a new report from Spexster, Top Video Production Trends to Watch in 2025, unveils how groundbreaking technology and shifting audience behaviors are transforming the industry. With AI-driven automation, immersive storytelling, and evolving monetization models taking center stage, this report provides a crucial roadmap for filmmakers, brands, and advertisers navigating the next wave of video production.
With digital video projected to account for over 82% of internet traffic in 2025, the industry faces a pivotal moment — how can creators and brands balance efficiency with creativity? Spexster’s report examines this challenge, exploring how AI is streamlining post-production while raising concerns about content originality, and how brands are redefining authenticity in an era of hyper-personalization.
“This isn’t just about trends — it’s about evolution. The industry is shifting faster than ever, and the only way to thrive is to embrace change, not fight it,” said Alex Seibel, CMO of Spexster. “AI and automation aren’t here to replace storytellers; they’re here to empower them. The winners in 2025 will be those who understand that technology is a tool — but creativity is the fuel that makes it all work.”
The report highlights key changes shaping video production and what they mean for the future of the industry:
AI will accelerate workflows, but human creativity remains irreplaceable. While automated editing and generative content will streamline production, brands that rely solely on AI risk losing emotional impact and connection with audiences.
Short-form video will dominate monetization opportunities. New revenue streams, including platform partnerships and subscription-based models, will reshape how creators earn from bite-sized content.
Immersive storytelling will redefine engagement. VR, AR, and 360-degree video are no longer futuristic concepts but essential tools for brands looking to stand out in an oversaturated digital space.
Sustainability will become a necessity, not a trend. Virtual sets and eco-conscious production practices will be crucial for creators looking to future-proof their businesses.
Mobile-first production will disrupt traditional filmmaking. As smartphones continue to rival professional cameras, creators must adapt to vertical formats and mobile-first strategies to stay competitive.
As video production rapidly evolves, Spexster is adapting alongside it. By integrating AI-driven content matching and a global network of creative professionals, the platform helps brands find the right video assets and talent more efficiently. With an increasing demand for personalized, high-quality content, Spexster offers a streamlined way for creators and advertisers to connect in a fast-changing industry.
Bishop Jephthah Sotabinda’s Newly Released “Divine Verses Volume 2” is a Compelling Collection of Spiritual Messages Offering Divine Insight and Guidance
New York, NY, October 20, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– “Divine Verses Volume 2: Verses of Truth and Wisdom”: a spiritually rich continuation of divine teachings. “Divine Verses Volume 2: Verses of Truth and Wisdom” is the creation of published author, Bishop Jephthah Sotabinda, a poet, songwriter, and naturopath, dedicated foremost to serving as a messenger of Jesus Christ. From his adolescent years, he explored literary arts through children’s books, poems, and songs, but following his divine calling, he has focused on recording messages from God in his writings, known as Divine Verses.
Bishop Jephthah shares, “The verse-styled publication of the messages of the Lord Jesus Christ continues with volume 2 of the Divine Verses. This volume 2 is a sequel to the first and previous publication of the Divine Verses. As the holy spirit of God continues to impart the messenger of the Lord Jesus Christ, Bishop Jephthah, with the needed godly knowledge, another publication of the Divine Verses has to be born. Like the first and previous publication, this volume is also a thorough portrayal of pure divine truths and wisdom, as it brings absolute clarity on all kinds of truths, be it truths about life, love, or God. But the ultimate truth, which is the truth about God and his Son, Lord Jesus Christ, is the main foundation of the book because it is the highest truth in existence. For the reason that the Lord Jesus is desirous to see that everyone attains salvation, he continues to pass on his messages of truth to his messenger so that those who pay heed to them can be saved.”
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Bishop Jephthah Sotabinda’s new book inspires readers to deepen their understanding of God’s truth.
