Want to know a little more about us, what services we provide, and some helpful resources when considering video production? This is the post to start with. We’re a full-service video production company based in San Diego, California, but we work with clients both near and far.
Location, location, location. We’ve all heard the old saying, and when planning out your video production, having a good location to film at is essential. Besides having the right “look”, there are many logistical things that need to be considered and factored into your decision process.
Awhile back, a client of ours hired us to create some short corporate videos highlighting technology they were working on. The videos were to be shown at an upcoming company event, but because of the nature of the content, they couldn’t be shown publicly. As we felt we did some pretty good work, creating some nice looking footage, graphics, and animations for them, it was disappointing we couldn’t share the work when we finished them. But as time has passed, and the tech is no longer a secret, we can now share the work.
For anyone working in the corporate video world, you know that filming interviews is as common as eating popcorn while watching a movie. A question we always ask clients when first meeting about a project is if the interviews should be filmed with one or two cameras…or more in some cases. On the surface, it seems like something that may not be that important, but it really can make a big difference. In this installment of what clients should know about video production, we’ll focus on using multiple cameras on a corporate video shoot, and what they add to the production.
When planning a video production day, there are the basics – camera, lighting, and audio. Beyond that, there are some “extras” that really add another layer of quality to any project. Back in part one of this series, we used the analogy of buying a car and mentioned the difference between buying just a base model versus buying one with some extras added in. For part three of our series, we’re going to cover some of those “extras” for your video project more in depth, and why/when you should really consider having them on set.
Those who’ve been on a video production set know it’s a fun and exciting experience. Those who haven’t, or those who don’t have much experience being on one, may find it a bit stressful or confusing if they don’t know what to expect or understand how things work. Hopefully after reading this, you will have gained a little more knowledge to help you on your next project, and ultimately make the day go much smoother.
