Telling a story

I find so often that when telling a story like a news piece. It is just a talking head I think they need to move around a bit.

Video Production Reel

I hope you all enjoy.

Making Photos Take Action

In the video below a website developer introduces his company, but does not like being on camera nor did he memorize his script. Easy fix just read and we will use b-roll. A second problem we had no b-roll so we used photos of sites he had built. Just showing photos just sounds to boring so we made the photos move I think it just feels better.

Shoot to edit

When you are preparing to shoot a video stop and think about editing it first. A good shooter knows how to edit. For example if you have stopped your talent in between lines change out the shot. Most important B Roll. have plenty on hand for example if shooting a interview after the shoot take reaction shots of both the interviewer and the interviewee. So in editing if there is a word or phrase that needs to go away you simply take it out and input a reaction shot so the awkward transition becomes natural. I would like to demonstrate in a video but do to lack of time I must keep it short today I will provide samples later. Happy shooting.

Be ready for the shoot and save big

There is a trend in businesses wanting video for training, websites, youtube, TV commercials and more. If you are planning on having a video be ready, have a script written and practiced. I run into business people who when you show up for the shoot are rushing through writing a script when you show up, or the office your shooting in has not been dressed up for a shot. This will ad a lot of time to both the shoot and the editing time. That means more money out of that organizations pocket.
