𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼, 𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱. 🎤

I've seen some beautifully filmed videos over the years.

Lovely lighting. Great camera work. Perfectly framed shots.

And then someone starts speaking...

And it sounds like they're talking from the other end of a swimming pool. 😂

The funny thing is, people will often forgive a slightly imperfect picture.

But if they can't clearly hear what's being said, they'll probably stop watching.

That's why I always pay so much attention to audio when filming interviews.

Where's the microphone? Is there an air-conditioning unit humming away?

Can we hear people talking in the next room?

And why does someone always decide to start drilling into a wall the moment we press record?

𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗼 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

But it's often one of the most important.

And yes, I've waited patiently for quite a few noisy machines to stop over the years.

Not because I don't like their idea. But sometimes a client comes to me with a very specific vision for a video.

They know the length, the style, the shots they want and even the music
Which is great because it gives us something to work with.

But occasionally, when we start talking about who the video is actually for, something interesting happens.

We realise there's a better way to approach it.

Perhaps the video doesn't need to be five minutes long. Or the most interesting story isn't the one we originally planned to tell.

It could be that the audience needs to see something rather than hear someone explain it.

Which means asking questions, sharing ideas, and occasionally challenging the brief.

𝗗𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗮 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼?

Short answer? No.

And that's coming from someone who's spent a fair bit of money on cameras over the years. 😂

The cameras built into today's smartphones are incredible.

In the right hands, with decent lighting and good sound, you can produce some really impressive results.

But here's what I've learned.

𝗔 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗮 𝘄𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗯𝗮𝗱 𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼.

You can have the most expensive equipment in the world, but if the message is confusing, the sound is terrible or nobody knows what the video is supposed to achieve, it won't make much difference.

Professional cameras certainly have their place.

They give you more control, flexibility and consistency, especially when you're filming interviews, events or working in challenging conditions.

But I've also seen beautifully shot videos that don't really say anything.

And simple videos filmed on a phone that get straight to the point and work brilliantly.

So if you're putting off making a video because you haven't got the latest camera, don't.

Start with what you've got.

Although perhaps don't tell that to anyone who's just bought a very expensive new lens. 😂

I'd argue that's one of the best reasons to film it.

Because once it's over, it's over.

The speakers have gone home, the exhibition stands have been packed away, and someone's probably wondering where all the leftover sandwiches went. 😂

But the interesting thing about filming events is that the finished highlight video is often just the beginning.

You've potentially got interviews with attendees, comments from speakers, customer feedback, product demonstrations and plenty of footage that could be useful long after the event.

A short LinkedIn clip here.

A customer testimonial there.

Something for next year's event promotion.

Or even a few clips for your website.

𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁.

Of course, that works best when you think about what you'd like to capture before everyone arrives.

Because trying to track down the one person you really wanted to interview just as they're leaving for the train is never ideal.

Trust me. 😂

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗮 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗮 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀? 😂

It's quite funny when you think about it.

You can be chatting to someone for ten minutes, and they're absolutely brilliant.

Confident. Interesting. Full of great stories.

Then someone says, "Right, we're recording."

And suddenly...

"Erm... sorry, what was the question again?" 😂

I've seen it happen so many times over the years.

And I completely understand it.

The moment people know they're being filmed, they start thinking about how they look, what they're saying and whether they're going to get something wrong.

Which is usually when they stop sounding like themselves.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗮 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲.

I tend to keep things conversational, ask follow-up questions and remind people that we can always have another go and make them laugh. 😆

And quite often, the best answer comes after they've stopped trying to give the perfect one.

The funny thing is, I've filmed some incredibly knowledgeable people who can confidently present to a room full of hundreds.

But put one camera in front of them and suddenly it's a completely different story.

Does anyone else find talking to a camera harder than talking to a room full of people?

𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴?

A few years ago, my answer would probably have been, "Well, that depends on what footage you've already got."

These days? Absolutely. 😂

And it's one of the biggest changes I've seen in video production.

We can now create videos using existing photographs, archive footage, animation, AI-generated visuals, voiceovers and a bit of creative editing.

Sometimes without picking up a camera at all.

But here's the interesting bit.

𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱.

If you're showing off a real team, a workplace or a customer experience, there's often nothing better than filming the real thing.

But if you're explaining a complex process, demonstrating an idea or bringing an old project back to life, there's now a whole range of possibilities.

I find that quite exciting.

After years of packing cameras, lights and tripods into the car, I can sometimes produce an entire video without leaving my desk.

Although I do occasionally miss having an excuse to get out of the office. 😂

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝟮-𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘀𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲?
⠀
It's a fair question.
⠀
After all, it's only two minutes. 😂
⠀
But here's something I've learned over the years.
⠀
Sometimes making a short video is harder than making a long one.
⠀
Because you've got to decide what NOT to include.
⠀
You might have an hour of interviews, a day's worth of filming, loads of great footage and several people who all have something important to say.
⠀
And somehow, all of that needs to become two minutes that make sense.
⠀
That's where a lot of the work happens.
⠀
Choosing the right moments.
⠀
Finding the story.
⠀
Making sure the message doesn't get lost.
⠀
And occasionally having to remove something you really like because it doesn't help the overall video.
⠀
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗶𝗺 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗶𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻.
⠀
It's to make sure the right things stay in.
⠀
And yes, sometimes I've spent longer deciding what to take out than actually putting the video together.
⠀
Anyone who's ever edited a video will know that feeling. 😂

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗜 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱.

Whenever I'm interviewing someone for a company video, I like to spend a little time chatting with them first.

Not about camera settings or where they should stand.

Just having a conversation.

I want to understand what they do, what they're comfortable talking about and what they might be nervous about.

I'll usually explain how the interview works, reassure them that we're not live and that there's absolutely no pressure to get everything right first time.

Because let's face it, most people aren't used to having a camera, microphone and lights pointing at them!

𝗠𝘆 𝗷𝗼𝗯 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿.

It's to help them feel comfortable enough to be themselves.

And quite often, during that initial chat, they'll say something interesting that gives me an idea for a question I hadn't originally planned.

That's the lovely thing about unscripted interviews.

You never quite know where the best part of the conversation will come from.

And sometimes the most important bit of equipment on a shoot isn't the camera.

It's a pair of ears. 👂😂

𝗔 𝗿𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴. 𝗠𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗮. 😂

You'd think that running a video production company means I spend most of my time behind a camera.

But these days, that's not really the case.

I'm usually the one guiding the shoot, asking the interview questions, working with the client and making sure we're capturing the right story.

Other days I'm editing, experimenting with AI video tools or figuring out how to turn a client's idea into something that actually works.

And occasionally, like in this photo, I get my hands back on the camera.

Which I still love doing.

𝗜 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗜 𝗲𝗻𝗷𝗼𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗺𝘆 𝗷𝗼𝗯.

No two projects are quite the same, and neither is the role I play in them.

One day I'm directing interviews. The next I'm working with AI-generated visuals. And somewhere in between, I'm still making sure the camera's pointing in the right direction.

Although judging by this photo, I haven't completely forgotten which buttons to press. 😂

𝗡𝗼 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗮. 𝗡𝗼 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗽𝗼𝗱. 𝗡𝗼 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗳.

Just me, a pair of sunglasses and a rare moment when I'm not thinking about filming something. 😎

Actually, that's probably not true.

After years of working in video production, you start noticing things everywhere.

Interesting locations. Good lighting. People having conversations. Little moments that would make great footage.

It's almost impossible to switch that part of your brain off.

And I think that's one of the things I enjoy most about the job.

You don't stop being curious just because you've put the camera away.

Although occasionally it's nice to walk down a street without wondering where I'd position the lights. 😂
