Production Tips and Techniques
Stay away from “Cookie Cutter†style videos. Why on earth would anybody in any business, professional speaker, author, entertainer or corporation want to produce a marketing video that looks the same as another competitor?
Sure any video is better than no video–but do you want to be perceived like everyone else in your market segment competing for business with a blah blah video, or do you want to show value and be unique?
Have your leader (CEO, company president) star in the video. People buy people and talking heads sell!
Always begin with PROFESSIONAL RECORDED VIDEO that consists of high quality digitally recorded footage including audio using direct microphone sound sources.
In other words, the announcer, presenter or performer is wearing a headset or lavaliere microphone. If live, the audience (if applicable) is also being picked up with audience microphones. Audio is an important ingredient in a professionally produced video.
Lighting is an equally important ingredient. You want your subject well lit. Use incandescent lighting instead of fluorescent and avoid shadows. Make sure you have enough key lighting to bring out details and facial features and avoid “hot spots” light reflecting off shiny surfaces like eyeglass lenses and un-powdered skin. Avoid back lighting at all costs.
Another important tip for a successful video is CREATIVITY.
Look at any great video and list all the creative elements you admire about that video. Creativity can be expressed in the clips, sound bites, voice over, music and graphics. It is a good idea to write a script or storyboard when you begin any video production and review to ensure everyone is on the same page with your expectations of the production as well as the client with the creative vision for execution.
We nailed Steve Rizzo’s brand every time creatively. With Rizzo’s talent, it was a matter of brainstorming until we had an idea and position for the creative angel of the video.
In one of the videos we had little comedy breaks that took the viewers attention away from the stage presentation segments and allowed them to escape to another dimension. This technique adds production value and is a great opportunity to exhibit his brand.
Another tip for a successful Video is BRANDING. What will your viewer remember about the video? Will they ask for you and remember you?
Christine Holton-Cashen (www.ADynamicSpeaker.com) is another client we helped brand and created a video around the “Christine Cashen Show.â€
We used original music with lyrics to help communicate her message, a
“TV Show†opening and close as well as television segments.
We completed a preview video for Eileen McDargh, CSP, CPAE (www.EileenMcDargh.com) The brand we designed for her is “Connecting in a Disconnected Worldâ€.
Another client, Barbara Glanz, CSP (Certified Speaking Professional) has been branded “Spreading Contagious Enthusiasmâ€.
Your brand identifies your uniqueness and helps your prospects remember you and your company. You can see the difference in these videos and why it is important to be creative and original with your video’s.
It’s also good to show your EXPERTISE. Floyd Wickman CSP, CPAE Hall of Fame speaker (www.FloydWickman.com) has been on the professional speaking circuit for over 30 years. His brand is his name and his experience speaking to thousands of audiences.
With Floyd’s video, the magic is in the script. Our expert staff of writers created a different perspective on the previous marketing campaigns. With a new creative marketing direction, the video fell right into place.
Broadcast-quality professional motion graphics and editing help carry his message and expertise in a visually interesting way throughout the under six-minute video! * Near the end we strategically placed two overlapping client crawls, which exhibit the depth of his industry expertise.
Digital Internet video
Internet-Ready Video Conversion, Internet video distribution, viral video and Internet Marketing are important to have your video viewed by as many people as possible. Primeau productions LLC also has a database of 50+ social websites that allow you to post your video to. This database will help you get maximum Internet visibility.
Internet marketing with video
It is extremely important that your video is first encoded properly before beginning any digital video marketing campaign. Each Internet destination has a required digital encoding format, as well as, file size specifications for optimum playback and visibility. Quicktime H.264 compression is most always the best beginning digital video file format and translates well to other Internet applications. When creating an Internet video using various video sources like DVD, Mini DV, Dv Cam and Beta tape, sample and bit rates have to be optimized to maintain lip sync during Internet playback.
Primeau Productions will make sure your digital video file is properly created and distributed to the networks that best fit your marketing plan.
The more places your video is available on the Internet, the more chances you have to be viewed. The more your video is viewed, the more prospects you have and the more business you can generate.
