Top Tips on Low Cost Video Production

Everyone is trying to cut corners with their budgets and trying to promote themselves in the most cost effective way, and fortunately there are plenty of ways to do just that. My article will give you a few insider tips to help you along the way with your low cost video production project.

Firstly, if you are hunting down video production services, you have an amazing opportunity to reduce your costs. With the economy being flat, the competition is high, and production costs are lower to help generate more business. Secondly, production costs have lowered considerably due to new technologies available, without a reduction in quality of the end product.

To help further here are some top tips to help you with low cost video production.

Always plan ahead of your project and have a good think about how you want the video to look; how the video will flow; who is in the video and where you want to shoot the video. What is the objective of the video? Who is the audience? Answering those questions early on in the project will help you keep control of the creative aspects of your project.
In terms of locations, try as much as possible to streamline the number of locations. Try and be creative with locations available to you already without the cost - e.g. home, the office, etc. If you do have to shoot in different locations, bear in mind the distance between locations and how long it will take to travel there.
Search your archives for footage you've already recorded that is suitable for using.
Always ask the production company you select to take as much footage on the fly as possible - a video production is only as good as the content you have to work with. The more you have, the more options you'll have when it comes to the editing process.
Have a clearly defined brief. This is where most a lot of people create problems for themselves later on in the project i.e. the payment stage. Without a clear brief, you are basically giving the production company license to do what ever they like, which would mean costs spiralling.
When working out your budget, it's always wise to add 20% on to the figure you come up with. Consider it a contingency fund just in case of any unforeseen costs.

These are a very simple fundamentals that will definitely help you in your project. Good luck in your project and look out for more helpful articles from me on low cost video production soon.

Christmas Video Production

Tis the season to produce Christmas videos! I love Christmas, I love producing videos and I love history, so combine those three things and I am in hog heaven! One of my favorite holiday traditions is Walk Through Bethlehem, a re-creation of the Bethlehem marketplace staged every year by the Woodmont Christian Church in Nashville, TN, where I live. It's a HUMONGOUS historical reenactment of ancient Bethlehem that is attended by about 6,000 people from a multi-state area.

Walk Through Bethlehem is GORGEOUS. The costumes, props and decorations are as authentic as possible. They also bring in tons of animals: sheep, camels, donkeys and other critters common back then. (Did I mention that I love animals?) So naturally, I had to produce a video on the Walk Through Bethlehem. Actually, I got carried away and edited two versions of the video! I just could not help myself! One video is like a news story and the other is more like a music video.

HOW I PRODUCED THESE VIDEOS

First thing I had to do was get permission from the Woodmont Christian Church. Many people do not realize that you can not just walk in someplace with a camera and begin videotaping if you are going to distribute the video in any way. If all you are videotaping is home movies, then permission is not necessary. But a video production headed for the Internet or any broadcast outlet has to be approved. This is ESPECIALLY TRUE IF YOU PLAN ON VIDEOTAPING ON PRIVATE PROPERTY.

You CAN NOT walk into a store or other business and begin videotaping without prior approval. If you do, they have the legal right to confiscate your equipment and have you tossed in the slammer. OUCH! Most businesses will make it virtually impossible for a video crew because they do not want to lose control of their public message. So if you call up a store seeking permission to videotape, expect to be turned down. Small mom and pop stores are your best best. Huge corporate stores? Forget it. Getting permission from the church was fairly simple, but not guaranteed. In order to assure a positive response, I had to make sure they trusted me. So when I called and introduced myself, one of the first things I did was tell them exactly what I planned on doing with the video and more importantly, what tone the video would take. Since I absolutely love the Walk Through Bethlehem, I had no trouble convincing them that my video would be 100% positive. I also offered them DVD copies of the finished videos for their own use. That was a deal sealer!

Although I was not quite this blunt, I made sure they realized what I was actually doing was producing a $5,000 video commercial for them free of charge. What a deal! When I arrived at the church to videotape, I first hunted down the person with whom I had made arrangements. Often, this liaison person will want to follow you around the entire time you are there, just to make sure you don't do anything they do not like. In this case, the gentleman had other things to do and was not worried about my sincerity so he showed me around and then let me wander. I got him to sign a legal release form saying I had permission to videotape and put the resulting video on the Internet. Now comes the fun part! I wandered around for several hours, videotaping my little heart out. It'd be easier for me if I were an invisible fly on the wall with my camera, but since I'm not, I have to explain over and over again exactly what I am doing. I ask individual people if they mind being videotaped. I avoided taping the crowd and concentrated on the participants. I did this because I had blanket permission to tape the participants but that permission did not cover the crowd. It was really dark in a lot of places and that limited what I could videotape. Lights would have been too distracting and would have bothered people so I just stuck with taping areas that had at least some light naturally. I mostly hand held the camera and didn't bother with a tripod. This was because the place was jam packed and a tripod would have been cumbersome. I used substitute tripods as much as possible. After spending about 3 hours taking video of everything I could, it was time to edit. I did the music video version first. I selected music from Handle's Messiah because I LOVE that music and because it was the most appropriate thing I could think of. I used portions of two different songs and separated the songs with natural sound I had picked up off my on-camera microphone. It took me about 3 hours to edit.

Then, since I had so much good footage, I decided to do the news story version. I wrote up a script, calling the church liaison person back to verify some details. I recorded the narration myself, directly onto my computer. I recorded it in my video editing software, Final Cut Express using the voice over tool. I plugged my inexpensive hand held microphone directly into the computer using a cable that has an XLR audio connection on one end and USB connection on the other end. While editing, I mixed the narration in with natural sound. I love using natural sound because I think that helps the viewer experience the event in the most realistic way possible. In order to get decent natural sound of people speaking, the camera was often right in their face. Seems a bit rude, but I'm friendly enough to keep people feeling comfortable. If I had NOT gotten right in their face, the sound would have been impossible to understand. Some of it was iffy as is, but I selected the best portions to bring up full. I converted both finished stories into MPEG 4 format for upload to different video sharing sites. I choose MPEG4 because it gives a very small file size and still looks OK. Not great, but OK. I sure will love it when the Internet goes completely to fiber optic cable so video on the Internet can be a higher resolution! I actually produced these videos last Christmas but I liked them so much I wanted to use them again this Christmas. Video is FOREVER!

How to Select the Video, Graphics & Stills For Your Infomercial

Question: How do you guys select the shots and stills that you use in a production?
Answer: That IS a tough challenge. But there are two solutions:

1) Shoot your own shots. This gives you more control in matching your graphics to the story being told. If you go with this route, you'll want to be careful to get model releases so you don't infringe upon anyone's rights.

2) Use someone else's photographs or videos. This is actually LESS time consuming than shooting your own photos and videos. The Resource Rolodex has several good sources to select from. But you still have to search to find exactly what you need.

Searching for a photograph or the right video to use I've found is a blessing in disguise. Yes, it's a pain in the butt. However, I've come to find that during my search, I often times stumble upon an unexpected photo or video that I want to use instead of what I had originally planned.
Believe it or not, I've often changed my entire video infomercial concept just because of what I found during my "treasure hunt." And that's how I look at it now. It's a treasure hunt. Because there is so much on the Internet that is available for use, both paid and free items, that it's hard to locate. Just remember, whatever you use, make sure that you have a license and permission to use it. The LAST thing you want is lawyers knocking on your door demanding payment and restitution for the illegal use of a photo or video.
But let's say you know EXACTLY what you are looking for. Let's say you have a client that needs your video in 5 hours or you lose the job. You don't have time for any "treasure hunt." Then try this...
Write down a list of ideas that best describes the picture or video clip you're looking for. Go to http://www.theasurus.com/ or a similar search engine in your native language.

Find words that mean the same thing as the concept photos and videos you're searching for. Once you have that list, then go to Google or Yahoo and type in the concept and photo. For example "cats + royalty free photo". "Student + royalty free video."

This method should save you lots of time and hassle when looking for "the" perfect photo or video. Of course, there are other methods effective methods as well. These include purchasing sets of photos and videos from online or local retail stores. Be careful though. Many of these photo and video sets tend to become dated very quickly.

More recently, with the advent of the digital era, now we have the ability to put images in our home computers and Internet.Y instead of rolls of film developed, that can take your images to a warehouse in a memory card or stick and get them professionally printed. These days you can even print your images outside at home and still produce excellent results.

These days, high definition video cameras dominate the market. You can not only capture beautiful stills, but HD cameras can also produce good quality video as well, courtesy of the huge quantities of these cameras is now maintained on board memory.

HD video cameras come with lots of these days. Zoom 10 x or higher are not unusual. This allows each one to capture video or images that were once only the domain of the professional photographer. In fact, many cameras that are available and is considered the standard fare at this time would have graced many famous already past eras photographers work.

The truth about cameras digital HD

As if we did not have sufficient technical gadgets in our minds these days, we seem to be in a period where a lot of these technologies are beginning to converge. We first had the film cameras, then we had the cameras, then, we had cameras digital SLR, we then had high definition TV and we now have digital cameras that make the high-definition. While often there is no shortage of marketing hype with more digital gadgets, HD (high definition) is one that really deserves most of the press receives.

I bit the problem a few years ago and finally got rid of my 20 year old television and entered the age of HD with a back 42 inch LCD TV. You can not imagine now going back. However, now it seems that my camera (s) digital old (and new) no longer good enough. As they do not shot in high definition. Initially, high definition cameras belonged only to large studies, as they filmed a handful of new issues in high definition. Even now, however, not all my cable box HD channels transmit HD all the time.The more recent television programs and major sporting events to all son.Por therefore, it seemed strange to me first, as if the major networks could not do all in HD, then how could I in my modest budget expected to do so.

The thing that it is changing the rate technology, seems to be reaching common people before the big guys have a chance to implement it fully. And all in all, you don't want to catch them oh so important memories with the maximum possible resolution available.Especially with the price of the rapid fall of HD digital cameras these days.Cameras as new cameras from Canon Rebel XSi input levels has HD.Y capabilities to be honest, to the low $ 1000 you will get a large SLR with a long pedigree of success and film HD making capabilities. What more could any camera gadget geek ask?

Get the perfect camera, it is never easy, especially with the way in which digital technology is constantly changing.

Fortunately, there is plenty of sites useful Web online, you can limit your search and help you find the camera with all the features important to you.
