We make sure to get the most out of our equipment. So all our interviews, b-rolls and more will be captured in cinematic quality. With us, you can trust that your high definition recordings will be perfect!

Lighting

Light is essential for good video quality. Poor lighting will reduce image quality and waste your effort. Our lighting setup provides beautiful, natural-looking light – not too bright. We light faces and backgrounds evenly, to minimize shadows and create a natural, professional look.

We use 300W Fresnel lights for interviews. Barndoors limit unwanted spill-light. For b-roll, we use large softboxes – perfect for picking up environment elements without reflections. LED panels to emphasize a subject, without overpowering the area. In tricky shooting situations, we also use smaller LED panels to control light in tight spaces or add “sparkle” to shiny objects.

Interviews and B-Roll

Interviews and B-Roll are extremely important for a successful video production. They can make the story come alive. Our video team has loads of experience and skill in creating amazing visuals and sound.

Let’s explore how they make it stand out! Why? Because their interviews and b-roll are captivating.

Pre-interview preparation

Prepping for a video interview or b-roll shoot? To get the best result, start by doing your research. Find out about everyone in the video, the subject, and the environment. Make sure to bring a range of questions for each person to establish a connection with the team’s interests.

Think about what shots you want to get. Note any special angles or footage techniques needed. Before recording, make sure everyone knows the equipment, lighting, and sound setup. This will help avoid distractions while recording and surprises while editing.

Capturing compelling interviews

Video interviews are a great way to share important messages with your audience. Our video crew will work with your interviewees to make them feel at ease, craft the stories you want to tell, and record interviews that resonate with your viewers. We can also arrange production elements such as lighting, sound, and staging for a professional look and feel.

Our video pros are also top notch at capturing b-roll footage that pairs with interviews or stands alone as visual support for a story. B-roll footage gives an exciting look into the people and places related to a story, creating more depth. We have plenty of experience scouting out locations, getting shooting permits, hiring extra talent or crew, and fulfilling any other filming needs.

When it comes to recording interviews or b-roll footage, we make sure each element is up to industry standard for picture quality, sound, and accuracy. Even after recording, we can provide script assistance for narration and post-production services, such as video editing, so you get exactly what you wanted from start to finish.

Capturing dynamic b-roll

Our video team knows how to get amazing b-roll. We understand how important it is for the video production to have the right elements and angles. We want to work with you on location planning, camera angles, and composition. Our goal is to get high quality b-roll that captures all the details.

Good b-roll helps the audience go from passive to engaged. We will help you choose shots and sequencing that create interesting visuals and soundbites. We know what compositions will draw viewers in, away from something, or emphasize a point. Through planning, our team will make sure your videos capture attention with great visuals and sound.

Quality Assurance

Our video team is proud of the quality assurance we put into each video. We use top-notch recording and lighting tools. Our post-production is up to par. Editing and delivery follows proven methods.

All videos must meet the highest standards. They must reach a level of excellence and meet all requirements.

Reviewing footage

Reviewing footage is a must for our quality assurance process. We make sure that each video production meets our strict standards before it is given to the client. We use multiple approaches to reviewing footage and make sure every product checks both technical specifications and desired visual aesthetics.

Firstly, we use a technical system to review each piece of footage. This way we can make sure it will be encoded properly into different formats without any compression loss or re-encoding artifacts. We check all the fine details, like focus accuracy, sound sync levels, colorspace, exposure corrections and file integrity.

Secondly, our video team does an in-depth creative evaluation. They watch the raw footage from camera masters before grading to identify issues missed during the capture phase. They also evaluate creative streaks like camera movement, panning shots, steadicams and cranes. This makes sure the videos meet brand guidelines and engage viewers.

We also offer further review stages upon request. These include color correction/grading evaluations or custom editing services depending on the customer. This guarantees only high-quality videos that match our standards and meet every customer’s goals.

Editing for clarity

Our editors take over once filming is done. We use digital software and editing skills to make sure the video meets the specs. Plus, voice-overs, special effects, and more. We color-correct, audio mix, add transitions and visuals. We fix any issues that come up. Sub-frame edits make small changes. We reduce frame flickering. Plus, multiple reviews before it’s released. A finished product free of errors. That’s our guarantee.

Color grading for consistency

Color grading, also known as color correction or color timing, is the process of changing the color properties of footage or images to get a desired look. We can make tones in an image brighter and more consistent, creating a more attractive image. It can also help to match references.

When shooting video with multiple cameras and different lighting, such as for interviews or b-roll footage, color grading makes the production look consistent. It can neutralize various lighting conditions so footage from different parts looks the same.

Our video team has experienced professionals. They are experts in advanced color grading techniques. This brings unity and professionalism to your final product. We aim for perfection and take pride in making visuals with balanced colors. Every project has perfect results!
