We want you to look your very best on camera!

Makeup

Use makeup sparingly, unless you’re told otherwise by your Producer/Director.

If you have a makeup artist on your shoot you will be fine. If not, the director or camera operator will most likely add some powder to your face to reduce the shine or glare from the lights. Especially on the nose, forehead, and bald spots.

Be sure to use powder that closely matches your color of skin and careful with rouge because it will stand out on video.

Keep all other make-up very simple. Avoid make-up which contains glitter, or is frosted. Before your video production talk with your producer and director, they will advise you as to what looks best for your particular shoot.

Medical and healthcare marketing and training videos for Nutriceuticals.

Simple and economical informational videos are very effective communication tools for web content search. In many cases the information is similar or can be slightly altered on the script or teleprompter to distinguish between patient and healthcare professional.

Our St Louis producers worked on this corporate marketing video for Advantek. The St. Louis video crew responsible for the project included Mike Haller, producer; Dave Topping, Editor and Rob Haller, Director. The program was edited in two days using an Adobe based edit system. The video was shot and edited in St. Louis at our studio. In fact, post production, audio and music were also completed for the training video version of this production. The video was used for investors and marketers to promote the corporation. A web video was also produced and optimized for streaming and best practices SEO for video. St Louis Aerial Video and St. Louis Aerial Photography also helped in this production with the longer video version showing aerial photography and aerial video images of all north American Advantek locations.

Before you shoot, plan your video production first!

Pre-Production should include most of the following for your project

Project Analysis and Recommendations

Storyline script development and final script

Art Direction

Location Scouting

Shoot Coordination & Logistics

Talent Casting (Voice and On-camera)

st louis video production planning methods, prepare before you shoot!

When these tasks are completed then it’s safe to pick up a camera and start shooting.

Video Production

Shoot in High Definition Video

Consider if you need Aerial Filming (Helicopters/Planes), in some productions an aerial video or still images from a bird’s eye view are necessary to convey the information.

Will a single camera work? Yes in most instances, but we do have the capability of Multi-Camera Shoots also.

Your Producer will help in your need for Specialized Equipment (Steadicams, Jibs, Dollies, Teleprompter, Makeup and other specialized artisans)

St Louis Video Production

Professional videotaping

Always use a tripod.

When videotaping you need the kind of tripod that has a “fluid” head, to produce smooth motion.

If outside on location, shoot with the sun on your back.

The best-looking footage will come if you shoot either during sunrise or during sundown. For all other times of the day, you will have to carefully pay attention where the sun is located and either avoid shooting altogether when the light is harsh during mid-day, or to make sure you have the sun on your back. The ideal time to capture footage without a lot of camera adjustments is on a cloudy day.

Before shooting, set your white balance.

A camera that allows you to manually set a custom white balance is the best. Then your camera is ready to shoot in the right conditions with the right colors. Plus the camera will be automatically exposed the right way.

Plan your shots according to your script.

Always plan your shots, how you will pan, how you will zoom, and how you will compose the picture. It’s a good practice to not zoom in and out fast, or too much, and don’t pan a lot either. This gives more time to the viewer to study the subject, without your video being too static. No script? You should always shoot to a script!

Become a difficult editor.

Select only the best video you have shot. Cut where there is a lot of camera shake, cut where the composition is not right, and cut when the wind is over-powering the conversation. And edit according to your script.

Video production for the small computer screen
Most internet viewers will be viewing your video production in a small window from their web browser. It’s important to create your video that looks good at a smaller size, viewed on a typical computer screen.

When viewing videos in a small window, details get lost. Don’t expect a video crowded with multiple objects to look good in a small web window. Smaller objects in the frame might simply disappear in the background blur.

The best looking videos for the web are those that work within the standard size of the internet display. Don’t place small, complex objects on the video set. It’s best to focus on a large, simple subject instead. Often the best solution is a talking head, positioned front and center in the frame. No fancy background, no tiny details, just the speaker’s face big in the frame.
