St Louis Video Production will help your communications with your customers.

Video can explain complicated products and services.

Large printed instruction manuals for many are a thing of the past. You may have a service or product that is better than your competitors can offer, but if potential buyers can’t understand it, then you’re in trouble. In a short amount of time, a video can make your product attractive and easily understandable.

Video can personalize your business.

Not every business works face-to-face with clients on a regular basis, yet many potential customers like to know who they are dealing with before they go ahead and pick up the phone. Video on your company’s website is a great way to add a personal touch that allows viewers to truly connect with and feel comfortable contacting you.

How much does a music video cost to make?

Every song needs a different creative approach, every artist and genre needs a different image and visual treatment.

We start by gathering basic information, we have the artist meet in our studio to discuss every aspect of the production, taking into account the best approach to sell their talents and the song. The more information and feed back we get from the artist, the more accurate we can budget for the production of a music video.

There are always ways to cut corners here and there and the best producer is the one that saves on every aspect of the Music Video Production process while getting the results the talent is looking for.

Think about and focus on a novel interpretation of the music and lyrics, as well as cinematography, location and editing that wraps all together in visual harmony.

Music Video Packages can start around $3000. and includes one filming location that we will professionally light, shoot and edit. And this is only a starting budget, as there can be many other variables. Do we have to hire talents? Do you need a crowd? Do you need a make-up artist? Do we need a Green Screen? All of these budget items put together, will give us an idea on how to budget for your Music Video!

We are always doing our best to keep production costs low and simultaneously get the results that you artistically desire. There are many ways to make a good music video with a good song and a talented artist.

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.

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.
