There are many factors that go into producing great video content, and a seamless production process is key to delivering video content that achieves your goals.
But every video or video series is different, and the production process will differ from simple to complex, creative to standard and DIY to big budget. However, we base our production process on 5 areas: Strategy, Creative Development, Filming, Post Production and Distribution.
We will start with a verbal or written brief to find out the purpose and what you want to achieve, then set a plan of gathering all the information required for the project. We have custom templates available for you to easily identify and fill out all necessary information.
We create an idea that will bring your message to life and script out the story you want to convey, or consult and storyboard with your own scripts. Then we create a detailed plan for how we’ll shoot and order the footage in a detailed schedule.
Most of the video projects we produce include aspects of filming (unless fully animated content). This can come in the form of hiring our professional crew or for your team to DIY the content.
Now it’s time to combine all of our media assets and creative concepts in post production. We weave the footage together with dynamic editing, music, colour grade, effects, text, graphics and animation to create a seamless product.
Once finalised, we then we export your video in your preferred format and offer guidance for you to distribute to all your platforms – whether that be social media, your intranet, LMS, interactive video platform or website video channel. We can also help you set up live premieres of pre-recorded content and give some tips on how to pre-populate social media comments.
After working with countless internal comms professionals over the years, there are often common questions we can answer quickly based on our experience.
The timeline for producing a video can vary depending on factors such as the complexity of the project, the length of the video/s, and the availability of resources. Typically, the process involves pre-production (planning and scripting), production (filming), and post-production (editing and finalisation). A rough estimate for a standard video production timeline could range from days, to a few weeks to a couple of months, but we can work with your team to establish a timeline that fits your needs and deadlines.
We understand the importance of maintaining brand consistency and integrity in video content. Our team works closely with your internal communications and branding team to ensure that all aspects of the video, including visuals, messaging, and tone, align with your company's brand guidelines and standards. We start by requesting your brand guidelines and if there aren't specific video related guidelines, we can assist in developing these. We can provide regular updates and opportunities for feedback throughout the production process to ensure that the final product meets your expectations.
There are various options for distributing and sharing video content internally, depending on your company's infrastructure and preferences. This can include hosting videos on internal platforms or intranet sites, sending video links via email newsletters or communication channels, or incorporating videos into presentations or training sessions. We can also provide guidance on optimising video formats and resolutions for different viewing devices and environments.
The level of involvement of the internal communications team in the video production process can vary depending on the preferences and resources available within the organisation. Typically, we collaborate closely with the internal communications team throughout the entire production process, from initial concept development to final delivery. This collaboration ensures that the video content effectively communicates the intended messages and aligns with the company's brand guidelines and standards. The internal communications person may be involved in tasks such as providing input on the video concept and messaging, coordinating interviews or appearances, reviewing scripts and storyboards, and providing feedback on rough cuts and final edits. Our goal is to work as partners with the internal communications team to create impactful and engaging video content that meets their objectives and resonates with their audience.
Yes, typically, upon request, the internal communications team can receive the raw footage used in the video production process. Raw footage includes unedited video clips and audio recordings captured during filming, before any editing or post-production enhancements are applied. Providing access to raw footage allows the internal communications team to repurpose content for future use, create additional video assets, or maintain an archive of media assets for internal reference. Additionally, having access to raw footage can facilitate transparency and collaboration between the video production team and the internal communications team, enabling them to work together more effectively on future projects. However, it's essential to note that the availability of raw footage may depend on the terms outlined in the video production agreement or contract.
We understand that confirming talent availability and finalising scripts can sometimes be challenging due to various factors that may affect scheduling. At Visual Culture, we do our best to accommodate our client's schedule and timelines, recognising that there may be delays in confirming these details. It's not uncommon for scripts to be finalised the day before or even the day of filming, and we're prepared to work flexibly to meet our client's needs. However, providing the video producer with as much lead time as possible allows us to plan and execute the production process more efficiently, minimising the risk of delays or last-minute changes. Ultimately, our goal is to ensure a smooth and successful production experience for our clients, regardless of the timeline constraints.
